Roundup Flex, how rain fast?

I hope the label isn’t correct, says 6 hours minimum. Desiccating linseed and despite forecast saying 8% of rain all afternoon we have just had an absolute deluge out of nowhere.

You might be lucky if you got a few hours dry before rain, we use a product called Sprayfast if we are unsure of the weather and the spray is rainfast in 30 mins, I know its a bit late for now.

Just got back to the yard and read the label on the can, seems it might be rain fast in an hour. When I looked on my phone it said 6 hours.

I’d look at this way - if you sprayed a dry Linseed crop with the roundup by accident and went out to try and wash it off, do you think you’d be successful…..?

I bet it works fine but you will have to wait three weeks for it to do anything. If it's been on an hour I would say you are plenty safe. I've seen roundup kill grass leys despite being rained on 20 minutes after the sprayer left the field.

Spray it again to be sure. Not exceeding maximum permitted dose of course.

Once sprayed a 65 acre field got 3/4 way round and down pour carried on to where I started and went home
went back 4hours later and sprayed middle
you couldnt tell where it had rained on it

EddieB how did this work out for you?

 

[EddieB]

We seem to have got away with it. The linseed is pretty much ready to harvest, waiting patiently with various other things. At least the weather forecast looks dry.

 

[EddieB]

Just started harvesting the linseed. Round Up obviously worked as it’s 8.6% moisture. Neighbour doing it with his JD, our Lexion has an aversion To linseed.

I've had glyphosate not work after rain. Was cheap 5h!t though.

Flex is the business in my opinion. If you to be sure it'll work or conditions are suboptimal, use flex. Anything else, generic.
