    I know it was on here, just can’t remember which post it was in…

    How much Glyphosate should I use per acre on my round up ready soy beans?

    Weeds are becoming an issue……

    Thanks!!!

    2 qts. per acre. Soft water will make it work much better. [rainwater} is best

    If your grasses are short. (under 6″)I quart per acre with a good surfactant, Will smoke your weeds in less than 10 days. If your weeds are 12″ or taller I would agree that 2 quarts per acre with surfactant would be your best choice.

    Weeds are tall, outcompeting the beans in some cases. 2 quarts it is!

    surfactants are overblown. I farm and use rr all the time, if you use rainwater nothing else is needed. 2qts will get the ones just under the surface, it will be and stay cleaner

    I assume that if you use too much Roundup, you could end up killing everything, including the beans. Am I correct?

    Anyone know roughly what the “upper limit” or maximum Roundup tolerance is for RR beans?? (in quarts of Roundup per acre)

    Just curious

    Soybeans will tolerate 2 quarts no problem. Where you live and how you apply your round up is a big factor. An atv sprayer using low pressure does a way better job when using roundup and a surfactant. also between southern and northern mn. I don’t use a surfactant in southern mn with good results. But in northern mn. I would have to double my mix rate to achieve the same results if I didn’t use a surfactant. When I use the tractor sprayer I only use 16oz per acre on soybeans but with the atv sprayer i have to jump to 32oz. Surfactant is cheap! why not use it as cheap insurance that you will improve your kill? “Use non-ionic surfactant”

    if they are RR then no amount of Roundup will kill them, however if adding anything to it this mix, would not be the case [surfactant][crop oil] or liquid nitrogen.
