[AT] Honey Locust

[Cecil Bearden]

Trichlopyr 4, Pronto, Remedy and Crossbow are selective herbicides.  
Roundup kills everything.   I have found that the secret is to use 
enough water to soak the plants.  If the mix directions says to use 4 to 
10 gallons of water per acre, I use the 10 gallon water rate.   IIRC, my 
250 gallon sprayer covers 25 acres at 4mph at 50 psi pressure.  It is 
usually best to use the greatest concentration rate of spray.  If the 
recommendations are for 2 to 6 pints per acre, use the 6 pints rate.  
Those low rates might kill weeds for the first time, but the second time 
they might just grow faster!!!  I used to mix liquid fertilizer with 
2-4D and Cimarron Max for Thistle control.  It would brown the pasture 
until it rained then the grass came back like gangbusters.  I was in a 
hurry one time and did not mix the high ratio of spray with my 
fertilizer mix.   It seemed to just fertilize the weeds.
