247908 2004-06-28 11:29:00 TAG = amitrole + glyphosate + terbuthylazine (TAG)

DAS = Chloroacetanilide and Chlorotriazine

247912 2004-06-28 20:39:00 Agricultural salt - buy from any Wrightsons or PGG or agricultural outlet. Its just coarse unrefined "rock salt". godfather (25)
247913 2004-06-29 01:42:00 I think the important thing here is what ever you use, make sure you apply at the manufactures recommended rates and for the purpose of which it was intended . More does not mean better, just more out of your pocket . As for TAG, well I would be careful of uptake with any product with terbuthylazine in it . Terbuthylazine is a residual chemical that stops seeds from germinating . Fine for driveways as long as runoff is not a problem but will make your lawn and garden very sick if it runs to these areas . There is a reason why TAG and other products is not available in smaller quantities, they are not recommended for the home gardener!!
One thing to clarify- one poster made the comment that Glyphosate requires 2-3 days before rain to be affective . This is not true . 6 hours is the norm on a normal heat day . And going back to the original posters question, 360g/L of Glyphosate is the norm, and will do the same job regardless of the Label on the bottle .

Remember, even though Glyphosate is resembly safe, there are many products on the shelf that home gardeners have access to that are NOT safe . Be aware of the kids playing nextdoor and the wind direction before spraying anything .
