I had a recent conversation with a farmer about planning for tank mixing his burndown recipie. He was planning on using a pre-imergent with a broadleaf and Roundup Weather Max. He had questions about why he needed a surfactant with his pre-imergent. He was reading the label, and what he was actually reading was the requirement of using a nonionic surfactant in a tank mix and to be sure to follow the other chemicals requirements. After a short conversation and looking at his water analysis he agreed to purchase Poseidon SAS.
I then asked him if he was going to bag the AMS or if he wanted to use our LIQ-AMS. He said he was going to use 28 at which time I told him to re-read his Roundup label. 28 was acceptable for his second herbicide as was AMS, however, Roundup specifically requires AMS. Tank mixing takes time to study ALL your labels and meet the least restrictive requirements. If he were to use 28 instead of 17 lbs of AMS in his water, the Roundup would have been totally a waste of money.
