    With the forecast of the next few days being warm and dry is it a bad idea to spray eagle on the silage ground

    Perhaps use the higher rate of water in the instructions but should be ok. Could use s sticking agent also, some use washing up liquid I think but wouldn't be an expert on that

    going to day, as moooo says using higher water volume and sticky (wetcit)


    ( I'm no expert either but it's do or die time)

    Extra water and washing up liquid. Better to spray in the cool of the evening as the plant closes the spores to avoid evaporation in the heat of the day.

    FYI.

    Eagle is v poor at killing docks. Might as well be pissing on them.

    Have used it before for docks and as long as you put it out correctly found it as good as any other product, water per ha is more important than anything

    That's just my experience

    Have had poor results with it ok.
    Used dockstar a week ago, hopefully it will fare better.
