I�m wondering what is the cost and prosses of getting a chemical license for weed killer?
I�ve tried a few available from TSC and they start to grow back in a few weeks.

Glyphosate (Roundup) works great on woody / perennial plants. The trick is to use toward the end of the growing season (Sepember here in Mass.)when the plants are breaking down chlorophyll in the leaves and transporting it to the roots. Glyphosate hitches a ride and kills the entire plant.

Earlier in the season (before seed set) all the translocation in the plant is from roots to shoots. Applied then, the glyphosate kills the leaves and, maybe the stems, but does not reach the roots.

If you are using Glyphosate it will only kill current live weeds, new one can start growing next week.

I got a gallon of "Pramitol" from Rural King for around $33. Put in on good and strong and nothing will grow there for quite some time-like a year or two. I use it around buildings, fuel tanks, driveway, etc.

But be careful-if it runs off into yard or crops it will do the same.

In Kansas you don't need a license to apply non-restricted use pesticides on your own property. Things like Roundup, Banvel, and 2,4-D are not restricted use. Lasso, paraquat, atrazine are examples of a few that are. If you bought your herbicide at TSC, it was likely 2,4-D or glyphosate (Roundup). Normal rates of Roundup do not work well on broadleaf weeds, as it is more of a grass killer. 2,4-D does nothing to grasses, and often does not completely kill broadleafs, it just sets them back. Mix the two and you get a good kill, or better mix Banvel and glyphosate. There are many others, if you farm. If you are just a homeowner, the 2,4-D/Banvel/glyphosate combination, depending on what you have will usually work well. Always spray the weeds when they are small.

License?

Do you have to have a license to spray 2-4-D on your own pasture in Oklahoma?

Inquiring minds want to know. . . :-)

No you don't need a license for non restricted pesticides. I got mine for Grazon P+D. Needed a better kill,blackberry vines.

Each state is different, slightly.

In general $50 and sit through a study afternoon & mail in a test & if you get a good enough score you are good for RUP chemicals for 3 years.

What weeds you trying to kill, & what did you use? I've had a RUP licence for 9+ years, never actually used a RUP herbicide tho.....

Is it actually the same weed putting back out or is it new ones germinating?
