Gallup 360 weedkiller mixture

Bog Butter

Well! I'm spraying some weedkiller today while the weather is dry. I got 5 liters of Gallup 360 and i'm using a knapsnack. I'm not quite sure of the mixture though. I'm not spraying near crops so it can be as strong as need be. What ratio of weedkiller to water do you reckon I should use? Here is what the leaflet says:

B.GALLUP 360 recommendation___________B.GALLUP 360 required per 20 liters spray mixture
4 l/ha in 250 l/ha water_______________________________320 ml
5 l/ha in 250 l/ha water_______________________________320 ml
6 l/ha in 250 l/ha water_______________________________320 ml


I think I know now after writing it all out. Is it a ratio of 4:20/1:5 on 4 hectares and so on?

Spraying through the tractor mounted sprayer I'd usually be applying 130lt of water to the HA, and adding the required rate of roundup, so for full rate (5lt/HA) the ratio is 26:1.

The standard recommended rate for knapsack is 20:1 or 50ml roundup per litre of water.

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately I have done it already. Assuming the ratios of Roundup and Gallup are the same, my mixture was four times stronger than the recommended, because I used a ratio of 5:1.

At least I know for again.

Just as a point of interest I once sprayed this stuff at 80:1 and still got a full kill.

I'd well believe it, I've seen some poor unfortunates leave a very small amount in the sprayer, with disastrous results for the next crop sprayed......


80:1 would be the equivalent of 1.25 lt/HA which is one of the recommended rates.

So is Gallup just as good as Roundup, if not better?

Gallup, Roundup and Rambo - all the same, provided they are 360, which referrs to the concentration of glyphosate in them.
(360 grams/litre), However there is a hugh difference in price!

The basic one's are the same, probably come from the same factory just rebadged, the biactive and gold versions have the same active ingredient but with extra wetters and penetrants which can significantly improve performance when uptake might be poor, or on hard to kill weeds.

Hi,

I have a 5 litre sprayer and just bought a 1 (1000ml) litre of Gallup 360. What would the ratio be in relation to water.

170ml per 5 litres?

Thanks.

250 ml in your sprayer would be full recommended rate, you'd need that if you have a problem with scutch, docks or thistles, slightly less will do otherwise.
