[QUOTE="Jogeephus, post: 599186, member: 4362"] If you only used Cogon X in water you will probably have not done a thing since Cogon X is not a herbicide but fertilizer with a few additives that will heat up the Roundup mix. Making Roundup hot can be done much much cheaper with a lot of other products. I'm not trying to argue with you but am merely trying to give some food for thought as I am sometimes skeptical of certain studies which are funded by companies and conducted by "neutral" universities. While I'm sure Cogon X is a fine product and am aware that when added to Roundup it increases the killed root mass by 68% when compared to Roundup alone. But at $35/acre for a 3.3.3 liquid fertilizer seems like an awefully high expense when Arsenal alone gave results 83% better than Roundup alone in root kill. To me, a better study would have been to compare a mix of ammonium sulfate and Roundup to see how much of this extra kill was actually due to just making the mix hot. There are also a host of other cheap foliar feedings that could be added to these trials as well. Many of which have growth stimulants in them. I just wonder why these weren't looked at. Why was it confined to just these three treatments? After all, it is our tax dollars that are funding a lot of these efforts. Seems to me it would be in our best interest to find the cheapest most effective way to accomplish the common goal of eradicating this scurge rather than limiting our options due to reasons I need not go into. Of course, I'm all about using cocktails and panther p!ss and other things that the experts don't seem to get funding to study. Just food for thought. [/QUOTE]
