Has anyone used the generic liberty made by willowood? FBN has some and I’m considering that brand.

Question

Answer

It’s all about spray tips and water quality not the amount of water . They want you to use more water for drift and to use more chemical so it gets diluted. I had better control when I used less water . Using Liberty recommended rate of water and chemical I got very little control and when I cut my water down to 4 gallons and cut the chemical I got much better control.

Answer

Great stuff. Worked better than Liberty.

Answer

I don’t know whether I used that one last year or if it was another generic Liberty. I have used several several and all seem to work just as good as the regular Liberty. I’ll probably order that one this year   It’s a good deal on that.

Answer

Generic Liberty works fine

Answer

We used a tote of whatever generic they sent us last year. Killed the weeds just as well, and foamed less in the sprayer than the brand name Liberty.

Answer

We used the willowood 280 before dicamba took over in northeast Arkansas, the key to any glufosinate is adequate ams, if you can get it use the sprayable dry @ 2 lb /A, better control compared to the liquid equivalent in my experience. And 32 oz along with a pint of generic dual is a great one shot tank mix if you get the timing right

Answer

We have used generic Liberty from FBN Direct for several years. Had excellent success! Saved lots of money

Answer

I used name brand Liberty first year.  Used Generic every year since.  I think this was 4th year some type of Liberty soybeans, Liberty, GT27, Enlist E3.  Having great weed control.

Takes plenty of water.and it foams up.  So grab some defoamer.  Liberty isn’t quite as foolproof as RR was years ago.  But it’s worked well for us, considering Plain RR soybeans don’t work anymore.

I sprayed plain RR for friend this year.  That was a mistake.  Leave yourself options.  Plain RR soybeans are over.  Bad experience

Answer

Bought some this year for our beans and will be giving it a try!  This will be the 3rd year for Liberty beans at our farm.  1st year did the name brand and last year all generic, didnt see any diff between the 2.  Like others said spray on hot days with no rain forthcoming and it will work great!

Answer

If u use  the 125 rule( take the high temp and low temp of the day. , if thy add up to 125 or greater your good to go. along with 3 lbs of Ams and at least 15 galss of water, they will all be fine,  just buy the one which has the lowest price!!

Answer

Bought all my Liberty through FBN last year, it was a couple brands of generic, my cousin bought all name brand for 2xs the price from the local coop.  His landlord missed a strip with the pre-emerge when he sprayed behind the planter for him.  I had a similar spot where the water cleared out of the lines in the corner of the field.  The strip sprayed with the name brand stuff didn't completely kill and started showing up above the canopy late in the season, I never saw any plants come through on my "plot".  The key to getting Liberty to work from my small sample set isn't how much money you spend on it, but when you spray it.  It takes a full four hours to be rain fast, (experience on that one), spray on the hottest most humid days you can, and spray when the weeds are small.  It will scorch anything if you can get those right.  Deviate from one of those or try and push a rain event and gamble with control levels. My cousin admitted he sprayed his "test plot" late in the day just before it got dark, which I suspect had to do more with the poor control than the product used.  I wait until temps are over 80,  hotter if extended forecast gives me enough time, and then get after it.  Your round-up neighbors will think your crazy, but it works almost flawlessly. 
I am also using twin air tips at 20 gal/acres, 32oz./acre. with 2# ams. I think you can go up to 36 if it gets questionable or 3# ams. My agronomist told me the other day he has tried putting Dual in with Liberty and didn't think it killed as well. No experience, just what he told me.
