And should he use a quart of surfactant with 50 gallons? I've been given conflicting advice over the years on the amount of surfactant to use. I have used a pint to 25 gallons the past few years. It seems to work ok, but you never really know if you are getting maximum use of your herbicides. Would there be any benefit from also putting crop oil in the tank?

Lance, I have started just spraying once about 30 days after they come up. I used to spray twice, but that was before I heard about Milestone and started using it. It takes about 90 days to make a crop. I've noticed weeds and grass getting worse at about 75 days, but I think the chufas are gonna make whatever they are gonna make by then. With every spraying you do some amount of damage to the crop, so I think I come out better with just one.

All of this is based on a broadcast planting. If you have a planter and can plant in rows, you might be better off to plow them once early and spray later. I have made crops just by plowing and never spraying at all.
