My area will have ruined paraquat within 5 years, calling it now lol
I've always been told that Paraquat will never NOT work...........that there can't be resistance to it. But I'm pretty sure these weeds like Kochia are sure adapting to it. They are getting extremely bushy with far more leaves clustered in tight. Not all of them.............but when I go out and check my spray job, the normal looking kochias are toast..........and some of those tightly bound ones still have green in them.
I've been spraying a LOT of Paraquat these last couple of seasons. And while learning tricks..........still have a little trouble. Since it's relatively cheap compared to other chemicals, and I've got my old depreciated sprayer that runs cheap............I'm not beyond loading up and hitting a field again a week after I was just there. And for the record, I don't really get any better performance when I up my gallons beyond 10 per acre.
One last thing...........if you just spray Paraquat you'll wind up with an explosion of Devil's Claw (Lambsquarter). Some fields around here are ridiculously covered in them. I was going to get there if I hadn't changed up my plans. |
