@ZonderlandAg @LowBoomLowDrift It’s 79.2% or 72% acid equivalent. SG formulation.

[Garth Duncan @thegarthinator]

@LowBoomLowDrift @estebaancarrera It says 60 to 100 L/ha (6.4 to 10.7 GPA)

@LowBoomLowDrift @SeanFeldman5 All combinations of water alone, water + fungicide and water + fungicide + Interlock and NIS

[Garth Duncan @thegarthinator]

@LowBoomLowDrift @SeanFeldman5 No, but this post has inspired me to try

[Garth Duncan @thegarthinator]

@LowBoomLowDrift @SeanFeldman5 All the data we collected with water sensitive paper the best was with a ground rig at 40% coverage at 15 GPA. Airplane at 2 GPA was similar in fungicides ~30-35%. Drones were the worst at ~12% coverage.

@LowBoomLowDrift @SeanFeldman5 And then the countless environmental effects- wind, evaporation, humidity, leaf surface, crop residues…

[Garth Duncan @thegarthinator]

@LowBoomLowDrift @SeanFeldman5 Well, there are many published studies on spray deposition. But imagine if you are spraying small weeds, you are mostly spraying dirt. If you’re spraying larger weeds, you are only hitting the top leaves and not the shorter weeds covered by larger weeds.

[Garth Duncan @thegarthinator]

@LowBoomLowDrift @SeanFeldman5 But even in the best conditions, you’re only getting 35-40% coverage

[Garth Duncan @thegarthinator]

@LowBoomLowDrift @SeanFeldman5 True.

[Garth Duncan @thegarthinator]

@LowBoomLowDrift @SeanFeldman5 Pile theory. The idea is the larger the droplet, the more active. You only need that 1 droplet to penetrate the leaf surface. If you have 10 droplets of 1/10th the size, there is a chance that not all of them break through the cuticle, so theoretically less chemical entering.

@cowbroker Simple answer is yes, higher transaction merchants can negotiate lower transaction fees, but it is not 0. I think some Big biz also accounts for the processing fee in the price where small businesses surcharge or just don’t accept high % cards like American Express

@_TheMizzouTiger The 2022 study referenced used paraquat as a preharvest desiccant in wheat which is banned in the US. Not to mention, the trials were done in fields with sandy/sandy loam soil types. It is a very dangerous chemical, but not one that will kill you from bioaccumulation in the soil.

Can confirm selling a lawnmower on FB Marketplace causes significant mental and emotional strain. Only an ATV is worse

History is strange. 90 years ago today Huey Long died from his assassination wounds.

@alex_woodall Are the yields reported based on the actual moisture or standard moisture?

@bigaljack They are boost boxes. They are used for variable rate or pulse width modulation to jump up the current. Do you need it? Depending on what the Deere controller is doing, you probably won’t need them.
