from the perspectives of herbicide uptake, efficacy and label requirements, night spraying is OK as long as weeds are not under any stress and are growing actively going into the evening… -
With wind delays and pressure to get crops seeded, the weed spraying operation could be bouncing from crop to crop, and from pre-seed burnoff in one field to early post-emergence in another. This requires extra attention to detail for tank mixing and sprayer clean-out…

What are these weeds? And what would you tank-mix with glyphosate to improve pre-seed burnoff efficacy on these weeds?…
