Bruce from Ripley, Ms writes
I want to spray Panoramic 2SL on weedy plots this fall to prepare for planting wildflower seed later this winter. What kind of adjuvant do I need?
The product label for Alligare Panoramic 2SL Herbicide states, "The preferred spray adjuvant for use with Alligare Panoramic 2SL is a methylated vegetable-based seed oil concentrate containing 5 to 20% surfactant and the remainder methylated seed oil (MSO). For MSO, use a rate of 1 1/2 to 2 pints per acre. Best results are achieved when MSOs are applied with Alligare Panoramic 2SL in total spray volumes of 30 gallons per acre or less. The advantage of using the MSO decreases as the spray volume increases to higher volumes. If spray volumes above 30 gallons per acre are used, mix the MSO with Alligare Panoramic 2SL at a rate of 1% of the total spray volume. As an alternative, a non-ionic surfactant, as described below could be used when Alligare Panoramic 2SL is applied at spray volumes above 30 gallons per acre. MSOs have been shown to aid in the deposition and uptake of Alligare Panoramic 2SL in hard-to-control perennials, in weeds with waxy leaf surfaces and in weeds under stressed conditions."
