Isn't glyphosate supposed to be used at 1:20? No other chems are approved for use in a weedwiper AFAIK, but a dickey bird mentioned 1:20 as a general rule once, when he was flying past. No idea if it's right though, of course.

Did rashes here a month ago with roundup. The info on the booklet that comes with the drum was very good. Full dilution rates, from knapsack to Weedwiper to tractor boom sprayers etc. If unlike me u can read the small print without trying to find my specs:banghead:. Also I was told to top them at end of summer to let them get a chance to die down into the roots rather than before hand. Either way it has worked a treat, rashes are brown now, so good luck. Should add I got a local fella to Weedwipe with his tractor mounted job( blaney I think)(y)

I asked a dow rep if it would work. He said yes it should but its not licensed to go through a weed wiper. He wasnt allowed to say wether it would or not but the impression i got from him with a nudge and a wink was to dilute the same way as roundup
