Frankie Sapp is always searching for that next best thing and decided to give Reviton a try.
Sapp grows cotton, peanuts, soybeans and some wheat in mid-south Georgia. The growing season is long and he battles almost constant weed pressure, particularly pesky weeds like wild turnip.
“We were spraying cover crop, which is a wheat crop, and those wild turnips are just all over the place,” says Sapp.
“I used it in several different locations, under different pressures, weed pressures and things, and there was no doubt that the Reviton just smoked those wild turnips graveyard-dead,” says Sapp. “We got a burn instantly, and in three or four days, you could tell.”
He tried a few different applications. The first one was Roundup®, a 2,4-D product and Reviton. But, he preferred the tank mix without 2,4-D with just Reviton and Roundup®.
“2,4-D, it can volatize and move and you get a drift problem. We have fruit trees, we have pecan trees, we have peach trees, we have all that around us, so I think Reviton’s safer to use around those sensitive crops than the 2,4-D.”
