The round up label has many suggestions and limits.

I find the average carrier rate is about 10 gallons per acre. I started out this year at 8 gallons per acre but the tractor ride was too rough because that needed 10 mph with my tractor and went back to 10 gallons per acre.

You need a couple pounds of AMS per acre in the water to tie up hardness ions in the water that would deactivate glyphosate. AMS also makes some weeds take up the glyphosate better. You may need a squirt of an antifoam and you need to mix thoroughly.

You have to spend time in the TeeJet catalog picking nozzles and ground speed as well as pressure to set the rate.

I got a complete burndown on my RR corn with 10 gallons of water, 2.5 pounds of AMS, and 32 ounces of Glystar plus. That is where I could drive. Some of the burndown was done much later with knee high weeds. I drove slower and so gave them more than 32 ounces to the acre and got a clean fast weed kill.

I you spray 10 gallons to the acre you have a mix for 32.5 acres and that will take 8 gallons of a standard quart per acre glyphosate after you mix in about 75 pounds of dry AMS.

The label allows water rates from 3 to 15 gallons per acre. My big time farming neighbors use 8 to 15 gallons per acre. I like Air Injected Turbo TeeJets. They make drops that don't drift.
