One week ago I sprayed 3 acres with gly...
I used a 15 gallon atv sprayer with 3 oz of GLY per gallon (5 refills)
I also believe I sprayed heavier than necessary , making two or three passes in some sections.
The plots had been mowed in Feb and had about knee to thigh high regrowth
The plots had morning dew still
Pretty windy day, so they were dry by the time I was making the last pass.
it rained about 3 hours after application
Plot one, the sprayer was filled with softened water from the house
plots two and three I used filtered creek water since there is no other source at the farm so perhaps the water is hard and reduced the effectiveness on plots 2 and 3 but all three plots look like they were hardly touched (even the one with PH balanced water). maybe 25% of the taller plants are slightly wilted.
with nothing brown 8 days later. I'm pretty sure its a failed application at this point but could it be taking longer to show its effects dues to lots of rain, cool temps and higher growth?
I'm already a week behind and the plan was to drop buckwheat and lime on Sunday then mow my dead plots but now I fear I'll be doing all of that and then dropping another 1.5 gallons of gly after I mow it.
thoughts?
