I've searched it many times, and everyone says something different,
in temps 80-85, not too much rain, what is safer, and what is more effective: an ester like speedzone, or an amine like momentum fx2? this is for cool season.
i know an ester is better in cool.
guys say the ester will vaporize and drift, reducing effectiveness and putting bushes etc in danger .... others say esters work better in heat ... are they more likely to burn the grass?
The speedzone label says to use MORE in drought and heat. (1.5oz)
The momentum label says to use LESS in drought and heat.(1.1oz) or to only use spot treatments.
so from that it sounds like ester is safer.
but sounds like most of you use amine in heat and ester in cool. I know ester works better colder, and amine is generally cheaper for general use .. i will assume this is in fact why some do it this way.
but i want to know which is safer and which is more effective in 80-85 temps and maybe some light rain every week or so.
a local company thats around 2mil in sales says they switch to speedzone in high temps.
so which is it? there seems to be no consensus vote. when these are 2 very different product types, and effectiveness/risk of burning a lawn is at stake it seems important that we all agree/know the same stuff.
hope you guys are enjoying your summer
