If you want surfactant only then it has to be Spryte Aqua - obviously, see below

Adjuvant trial 21 October 2019 12 DAT annotated.jpg


Strips marked AZ (Azural) & AD (Amega Duo) as straight product. Then to the right of each with F (Firebrand - ammonium sulphate water conditioner) and to the left with S (Spryte Aqua surfactant + water conditioner).
The point being that water conditioning is not enough, you need surfactant too. Especially when using generics as in AD. Just adding more glyphosate doesn't make it work much better as show above.

Slightly of topic. Is black bindweed particularly hard to kill? Used 4lt Monsanto salt plus AS and latex adjuvant. 3 weeks ago and quite a bit of green material visible.

It’s developed a waxy coat presumably like a Barbour jacket over the years to resist herbicides. I too have found it very slow to die.
Li700 is IMO the dogs danglies partner to glyphosate but I won’t apply it preharvest, in which case I will use firebrand (am sulph). Fill the tank and add it before adding glyphosate otherwise it’s useless.

How much PCT - Reactor Wetter 600 Surfactant to be used with Surefire Glyphosate 30 in 100 ltr tank. How much of the same wetter to be used with Raizon in a
100 ltr tank.

Wouldn’t even think about using glyphosate here ( even Roundup / Monsanto / Nufarm / Bayer etc ) without a wetter & probably other adjuvants like the various SA products

and we seem to use lower rates of glyphosate than you do
