MU: Glyphosate and pH factor with dicamba

A leading weed scientist says there’s a lot that’s been

learned about dicamba off-target movement in the past year.

Dr. Kevin Bradley with the University of Missouri, tells Brownfield Ag News that in the past few months it’s been discovered that there’s more dicamba in the air when glyphosate is included in the tank, “From a volatility standpoint, if you’re a believer and you’re concerned it’s in that – which I am – the safest bet is to keep that glyphosate out.”

And over the past year, Bradley says spray tank and soil pH have raised red flags, “If you have too low of a pH of your spray tank, you’re increasing the likelihood of volatility right out of the nozzles, if you will.
