[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1012744, member: 18945"] Choose herbicide by what kind or species weed you are trying to control. Sounds like your old guy was adding ionic surfactant, but hard to tell. Surfactant I use calls for 1 pt per 100 gal of mix, but it varies. Droplet size will determine how fast the spray falls to the ground and how much drift you have, as well as the coverage on plant leaves. There's a good link in the tractors, trucks and machinery section about spray nozzle calibration. Harder to calibrate a boomless tho, other than travel speed and pressure. Ask your neighbors which herbicide they use--you and they probably have the same weeds. [/QUOTE]
