All,
I have used Speedzone the last two years without great results. I know to put some saop in to break down the surface tension to help efficacy.

I've never had much success with it. I don't think I was using it correctly. I was putting in about 3 to 4 drops of dishsoap in a 2 gallon mix.

I recently talk to an experienced veteran (chemical guy), he says to use a "sticker".

Please advise on the use of a "sticker" (name and quantity, assume I'm mixing up a 2 gallon batch at a time) or is soap good enough.

Lesco sells a surfacant for $23/gal. You use 3/4oz per gal. I dont think you were using enough soap.

Speedzone's label specifically says a sticker is not necessary.

I was using Lesco's Spreader Sticker with Speedzone and my Lesco guy said I was wasting my money.

I'm getting great results without the sticker.

I was getting great results with SpeedZone last year with no sticker.

I was told by a PBI Gordon rep at a trade show that there is a surfactant mixed in already.

My only compliant about the product is the price.

I just recently purchased some sticker because the dishsoap idea was failing for me as well....

My guess is you are not putting enough herbicide down. I get great results with a three-way.
