[QUOTE="ollie989898, post: 7496938, member: 54866"] I would generally agree, the real McCoy is very good but there are other brands that I would rate very highly as well. Kyleo is very good, as is/was Dakar- the 680 granulated product. What I would tend to avoid is the dirt cheap 360 stuff which I used to see about being peddled and I developed little faith in after seeing the results of it used on farm. Probably fine for the arable guys spraying a few little grass weeds and volunteers in stubbles, but that's an entirely different league to seeing the stuff used on permanent grassland loaded with docks and spear thistles- saw it several times. Farmer would go out and spray on boggo 360 and the grass would die in short order but the weeds would be alive and kicking within 2 weeks. It was for this reason I began to learn about where rates could be reduced and where they could not. Two other products that spring to mind are good old pendimethalin and that other favourite, clomazone where I began to conclude you definitely get what you pay for with them. I think if you stick with the mainstream manufacturers/distributors you won't generally go far wrong. People like FMC, Nufarm etc had pretty good technical backup in my experience and gave you as much confidence as the real big names did. Yara's nutrient products as well- I can't remember having any complaints about those. [/QUOTE]
