Roundup

[Rookie]

I got me some land what needs bombed with Roundup. What I be wonderin is if I mix it and spray it with my boom sprayer will I be able ta flush it out good enough so as ta not kill everything I fertilize this fall. Someone told me once that molecules of the roundup can bind with the polymers in ya tank, hoses , etc, and be deadly for some time ta come in the future. Any body ever done this? :roll:

I've used Round-Up for spraying fencelines and then went back and sprayed non-RR corn with just a semi-quick rinse of the tank before and haven't had any problems. I would think there would be such a small trace left it wouldn't be enough to hurt. Maybe I've just been lucky, and I hate to give advice that may be incorrect, but personally I wouldn't worry about it.

Use amonia to clean the tank and a good rinse should do it

I do it all the time. Never have had a problem with changing chemicals. I just make sure it has a good rinse including all of the nozzles and the hand sprayer before I use something different

Yes you can buy a tank neutralizer from your chemical supplier just put what it says to put in add the water and run it out through the system and done.

The take neutrailizer also seems to protect the seals.
