What about Ignite?
• Ignite (glufosinate) is a viable alternative• Needs to be applied during middle of the day• Use minimum of 15 gallons of water• New for this year – – Sequential Application– 22-36 oz fb 22-29 oz
29oz Ignite @ 10gal
Same Weed – 3 WAA
Timing is CRITICAL!!!
PPO’s• 1-3 tall Palmer• Multiple applications
may be necessary• Sequential applications
prohibited
Ignite• 1-6 tall Palmer• MUST USE 15gal/Ac!• Try to apply in the
