Here are a few basic tips to keep in mind when you are spraying your food plots:
- Determine what type of plants you want to get rid of first, then choose the correct herbicide for the job
- Follow all safety instructions listed on the label when mixing and applying chemicals
- Know the size of your food plot. Using too much herbicide on an area is wasteful and increases the cost of spraying. Not using enough herbicide may make the treatment unsuccessful
- Be sure to use the correct ratio of herbicide to water
- Do not spray when plants are wet or when rain is expected within 24 hours
- Do not spray when it is windy. The drift can be harmful to the applicator and kill surrounding plants
- Do not spray during an extended drought because weed control is ineffective and valuable crop species may be injured or killed
- Always be sure to clean your sprayer after each use
