Tominator Posted June 17, 2006 Report Share Posted June 17, 2006 For those who plant roundup ready soy beans--how high do the beans have to be before you hit surrounding weeds with roundup? Question #2--if you're using 41% glysophate, how many ounces of roundup do you use per gallon of water? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogdoc Posted June 17, 2006 Report Share Posted June 17, 2006 Re: Two Questions question one--I don't think they have to be a certain height but I sprayed mine when they were about 4" tall. question two: 2 ounces of roundup per gallon of water is what I use when I spot spray or 2 quarts per acre. todd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tominator Posted June 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2006 Re: Two Questions I went ahead and sprayed yesterday, we'll see if I killed the plants or not. Only 2 ozs. per gallon? I've been using way too much. I'll cut back from now on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Born2Hunt Posted June 20, 2006 Report Share Posted June 20, 2006 Re: Two Questions We sprayed when the weeds were about 6 inches high at 1 qt per acre last week. It must have worked because the only green plant in the plot is the RR beans and RR corn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LETMGROW Posted June 21, 2006 Report Share Posted June 21, 2006 Re: Two Questions Born2Hunt is right. 1 qt. per acre is good for weed control in RR soybean or RR corn. The water you are using is a carrier for the herbicide. As long as you get 1 qt. per acre on the plot you will get the results you are looking for.
