Does ammonium sulfate added to a herbicide mix improve weed control?
Ammonium sulfate (also known as AMS within the adjuvant world) can be quite useful in situations of chemical antagonism, such as when using hard water or when mixing herbicides that are antagonistic among themselves. Ammonium sulfate adjuvant can also be useful under stressful growing conditions, such as cold or droughty weather. For these reasons, several herbicides recommend ammonium sulfate adjuvant use within the label. Always refer to the corresponding herbicide label for specific rate recommendations.
