Spray Herbicide Tomorrow?

[Jarred525]

Looks like 50/50 chance of rain for tomorrow and Sunday. I was hoping to spray herbicide on my plots tomorrow. Should I hold off? Or, if I spray in the morning once the dew burns off and I get a couple of hours of sunshine, you think I will be O.K.?

I am planning on tomorrow as well. as long as it dries on the leaf it will be ok.

We sprayed yesterady in Wayne Co, should be good.

Can't believe how much rain we go there Wed though, many of our creek crossings are washed out, more work....

It has been a wet August. Hope it continues in September after the food plots are in. Should be a good mast year.

Good point. I am hoping it will an afternoon rain if we get anything. Trying to get this done to maybe be ready to drill next weekend.

I saw on an earlier post from someone else to use 4 ounces generic 41% gly/ to one gallon water. What mix rate do you use?

4 ounces per gallon worked really well for me.

1 tablespoon of dishwashing detergent per gallon will act as a sufactant and make it stick better .You should be all right if it don't rain too much. Good Luck

That is not true. It can dry in just a few minutes in the heat but can still be washed off if not given enough time for the leaf to absorb it.

Thanks guys for all of the input. I sprayed 7 acres mid morning Saturday. The rain did not roll in until that night so I think I should be good to go.

Checked the fields this weekend and they looked great. Nuked them pretty well. Had a few small spots I will hit this weekend but otherwise great.
