Roundup onto cuttin ground

[Chae1]

I sprayed off long term grass for a neighbour. A few weeks ago and they had kylo in mix with glyphosate. It was a mix of 2-4D and glyphosate.

Fields nice and brown now.

I must be damn lucky, I've been reseding around hundred acres a year and never ever wait. Never have a problem, God must be with me

i drilled a field field last year. For various reasons a 3 year ley had to be ploughed out and put back to grass. Wire worm had a party in it. Still have some patches I will redrill this autumn

I know the application rate as that bit of the label was still there it was the bit about cutting was non readable as the label had been wet before and didnt open right so peeled that bit off. Sure if wanna blame me for gettin pesticides banned be my guest cause i couldnt giv a flyin f... i only came to ask a question before i did the job as i didnt know the answer so whats ur point?

I think that attitude sums up the problems of farmers and the use of pesticides.

Don't forget that that has a surfactant / adjuvant in as well it all helps.
That as Just a reminder To those that aren't arable farmers/ used to sprays / spraying The generic glyphosate thats widely available has nothing but glyph. In it of course
And adding one to that even at high rates of use would help imo if nothing other than to condition water unless I suppose its off a roof .

Was a wetter added too!

 

[balders]

So how do you know the application rate?

Have you got a pesticides cert?

Or are you just another reason why more and more pesticides are likely to be banned?

Roundup is a herbicide not a pesticide...

 

[Sharpy]

Could someone explain why you all need to spray off knackered swards? If the new stuff is as good as the salesmen say it will outcompete any of the old grass that survives anyway.

Fertiliser in Roundup works as a counter to water hardness.

it is classed as a pesticide, actually,along with all the rest ... that's what the 'Pa' stands for 'Pesticide application

Yeah that course also tells you that Pesticides is a generic term for Herbicides, Insecticides, Fungicides and Biocides.

Bleach is a biocide and kills 99% of all living things including human cells.

 

[Bury the Trash]

Its classed as a pesticide in the certifiable context as i post above.
Certification which i hope you all have , helps to know and understand how to correctly use sprayers and sprays slug pellets etc correctly .

I thought it cured COVID ? If injected.. maybe, possibly.. did someone look into it

I'm just curious with all the Glyphosate bad press around why anyone would contemplate spaying it before cutting it to feed animals

It’s one reason I stopped doing it, only did it when I was taking a cut of grass to then immediately plant maize. It didn’t sit right making silage that quick after spraying the crop. Has made little difference to the following maize.

I’m not keen on doing that either. Haven’t done it for years. But I’m not in the wettest part of the country.
