[QUOTE="Popcorn, post: 5400186, member: 20151"] The 2 is rate is due to the higher concentration of active ingredient. Most rates are developed considering; Required amount to be effective Minimize over use / waste Minimize voluminization ((fumes / micro particles) Minimize risk to water and unintended Increasing rate can ; Kill a little faster Kill a little more effectively Increase waste Increase voluminization Increase risk to water and unintended. I know people who use roundup at 1/2 rate or 1/4 rate to clean up their clover. I tried that once at a time when my clover was stressed and killed 10 acres. NEVER AGAIN! If you are ok with killing all then use the standard rate suggestion BUT YOU CAN ONLY KILL WHAT IS GROWING. Using pre-emergent herbicide is effective mostly in spring and only lasts a few months at best. My suggestion; Save your chemicals Mow this stuff short it’s august and it’s not gonna be readily regenerated. Come September 1 spray with whatever you want. I suggest 24DB and clethodim to save your existing and re-emerging clover. September 15 plant, drill in disk, broadcast, disk or whatever you can to incorporate a blend of clovers at 5 lb total per acre and 50 lb of wheat per acre and include fertilizer & lime if needed. If you are successful this will be one of the best plots you ever had and you will outcompete most of your weed problem. That lespedeza in the soil will be there for years and will show up. Mow it Wick it If you must spray use clover safe adjuvants Outcompete It’s not as bad as it looks. Put in the effort now enjoy the benefits and save in the long run [/QUOTE]
