During spray season there are many things to consider: product, active ingredient, crop staging, weather conditions, water volume, nozzles, speed, the list goes on. But one factor that is often over looked is water quality. With so many factors effecting spray efficacy like environmental conditions, water volume, herbicide resistance, there’s many things that can cause reduced efficacy, which means poor water quality is hard to point the finger at and often overlooked. But water makes up well over 90% of our spray volume and is an important factor to consider when looking at chemical efficacy.
Poor water quality can cause significant tie up of herbicides, so it is important to ensure you have a good water source.
This Wheat Profit will be discussing spray water quality and water treatments with Martin Carr of Winfield United Canada
