The sandy soil and high pH clays make it very dangerous to use Puma at rates to kill wild oats. They won't accept the liability of spraying it. Pity you didn't ask on which evidence they base their concerns. There is almost always some damage to the wheat and it is unpredictable how bad the damage will be depending on soil type and weather after the application. snip So many words, and yet you couldn't spare any to present a shed of evidence, that "the sandy soil and high pH clays make it very dangerous to use Puma at rates to kill wild oats." I think you are fibbing, you don't have evidence to support that claim. |
