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

Works as described

Provides the necessary stickiness.

A good surfactant is greatly needed if you are spraying weed killer on your lawn. I use a homemade 25 gallon sprayer attached to my zero turn to apply Trimec weed killer to one acre of lawn. The surfactant is used to make sure that the weed killer will stick to the weeds and do it's job. I used 5 oz of this surfactant in 20 to 25 gallons of water, weedkiller, surfactant mix to apply to 10,000 sqft of lawn. Because of the size of my applications, I now purchase the 1 gallon size.

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 doseLess respraysLess effect on grass (weed vs. grass leaf surface area)1tbspn/gal means 256 gallons of spray can be madeSurfactants are much cheaper than herbicidesThis 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 namesAmine - 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

This surfactant is amazing. I was using a few drops of Dawn dishwashing soap as a spreader/sticker before, but this Southern Ag Surfactant is MUCH better than what I had been using for years. There is no beading of water on anything that I have sprayed and the effects of the RoundUp are visible much quicker. I purchased the gallon which will probably last me for years. I really recommend this product.

As expected it. Very useful. it's a need to work with herbicide.
