Anyone use drive DF with or without melthalated seed oil?

Trying to decide if using meth. seed oil is that much better than using H2O.

Also having trouble locating the meth/ seed oil.

Any feedback would be appreciated.

Yes, it does make a difference.

We use "Destiny Oil".

I use it, and substitute spreader sticker for the MSO. I mix at the rate that is says to mix the MSO (from memory I think its a quite a bit for spreader sticker) and I have had excellent luck with it. I followed the advice from someone who also had this work well, and we are both spraying it low volume, from a permagreen.

Lesco makes a product called Hawkeye, if you ask your BASF rep for copies of their field studies you will see some of the best results ever with Drive75 is in combination with this product.

I believe the label will direct you to mix Drive with either a MSO or Non-Ionic surfactant.
We use a product called 80/20 surfac.

If you happen to use UAP/CPS for a supplier, get the Liberate or LI700 & you will have no problems.

UAP has MSO in 2.5 gal jugs @$16.00 a gallon. The Drive label specifies .55 oz per 1000 sq. ft. & .367 oz of drive per 1000 sq. ft.

Gary,

Crop Production Services sells "Momentum" MSO.

They always have plenty in stock as the Farmer uses LOTS of MSO.
