I bought a used rears stainless steel sprayer to put out fertilizer liquids. It has rubber hoses. The previous owners said they had not put any herbicides thru it, but to be sure I filled it with water and sprayed a test plot. How long should I wait to see if there was any herbicide residue that would kill the test plot, a couple of days or a week?

Important to do. Some sprays are more persistant than others. 2,4D and its relatives are very presistant. Years ago, I killed a short row of honeysuckle windbreak plants watering them in the spring with a sprayer that had been used in the fall with 2,4D and then rinsed well (I thought).

Roundup & some others can take a week, esp in cool spring temps.

A neutralizer flushed through th system would work. Good old household amonia cleaner works as well. Cleans out the stuf that is in there.

I believe there is a nuetralizer you can mix with your rinse water that should take care of any residual Herbicides/Pesticides. I have not used my tank yet (new) but I was instructed to use a nuetralizer when I switched different applications, that is from Round-up to spraying for bugs. Just a thought.
