SUMMARY For glyphosate, the AIXR and TT had
best control. When comparing similar nozzle designs,
the twin-fan IDK-T performed better than the twin-fan TTJ60 and TDHSTF.
Within the new venturi designs, the AIXR outperformed the AM and GA.
For the old style venturi designs, the AIC and ULD performed the same.

SUMMARY For paraquat, the twin-fan TTJ60 had the best
control, followed by the IDK-T, also a twin-fan. The AIC was next, followed by the AIXR and the AM. The TDHSTF, ULD, TT, and the GA had the lowest
control. When comparing similar designs:
with the twin-fan designs, TTJ60 and IDK-T outperformed the TDHSTF.
with the single outlet, TT was outperformed by the double outlet TTJ60.
with the new style venturi designs, the AIXR and AM performed better than the GA.
For the old style venturi designs, the AIC performed better than the ULD.

CONCLUSIONS: For both years, species control varied
between glyphosate and paraquat. Differences in control with glyphosate across
nozzle and species had little differences. With paraquat, in both years mixed results
with some differences were found across all nozzle types and species.
In 2009, for the paraquat treatments, the broadleaf species control was much better than the grass species control.
