Southern Ag Surfactant for Herbicides Non-Ionic, 128oz - 1 Gallon

This surfactant is a must have when spraying for weeds. It bonds to the weed to absorb the weed killer more effectively. It's not expensive and this brand is my go-to every time. Do yourself a favor and don't spray weeds without it.

Used this before and cheaper and easier to get it buy the gallon. Breaking surface tension to kill weeds with a spray is important.

works perfect

Using this product, which is an oil, makes your herbicides more effective because the oil makes herbicide cling to what you have sprayed, thus saving money and time. It also reduces the likelihood that you will need to respray. On the downside, using a surfactant makes it more likely that your sprayer tip will become clogged. If nothing is coming out of the wand and the cannister is pressurized you may have a clog. The surfactant can become a little gummy and/or bond with debris in the sprayer. Another symptom might be product coming out at an odd angle or not in a symmetrical pattern.

Recommended. The label says 1-2 teaspoons per gal for general selective herbicides. I find you need closer to 1-1.5 tablespoons (3-4 teaspoons) / gallon. Why use this? Herbicides act faster - 3-5 days instead of a week+ More dead weeds at the same dose Less resprays Less effect on grass (weed vs. grass leaf surface area) 1tbspn/gal means 256 gallons of spray can be made Surfactants are much cheaper than herbicides This surfactant is low foaming, thus I believe it is of high quality. Dont waste time with the 16oz / pint. You’ll use it in a season. A gallon will last far too long. Tip1: Also, I’ve had good luck using this with Methylated Seed Oil (MSO). MSO is definitely not required though it helped with very mature weeds. Tip2: For general weeds don’t use plain 2-4D like I did. Get a mixture. Add either: quinchlorac, dicamba, tricylopr, sedge hammer, etc. 2-4D is amazing for dandelions, but most people have a lot of weed varieties: clover, creeping charlie, wild violet, spurge, etc. The mixture will save your sanity and resprays. Tip3: If it’s cold or the grass is not stressed you can mix a bit heavier than label. If it’s hot and sunny and you dont water 2x a day or 2x a week (depending on grass type) then mix at label rates or a bit less. Tip4: Look for the following chemical names Amine - summer spray (slower acting) Esters & acetic acid - spring & fall (faster acting but can burn grass more easily) Good luck. P.S. Donate to my lawn fund so I can actually mow grass not weeds. Hahah

The “soil” where I live is basically decomposed sandstone and clay which is very hydrophobic. Even watering with a light mist results in runoff without any real penetration. I applied this with a hose-end sprayer and it worked like a miracle. Getting deep water penetration and no runoff. Plants are loving it. Cut my watering time in half and tripled the effectiveness. Highly recommend.

Does the job.

As expected
