I got this product called heat that is suppose to kick dandlion ass but supposed short supply there is no mixing instruction and its not in the book its granular and you throw it in on top of your glypos if anybody knows anything about it I would like to here

Mixing for HEAT.......
HEAT first, then the glyphos then the correct ammound of Adjuvant. The label calls for 2 jugs of Merge per 80 acre container of HEAT.

If seeding wheat or barley add Express to your glyphosate - provides better control and also gets some broadleaves. There are other alternatives (Prepass I think) that also do the same thing.

Picked up some heat, will give that a go. Dealer said it was kinda a toss up, heat or Aim (Cleanstart). Thought Heat would be a bit better then Cleanstart on Dandielion.

it better be, its twice as much money. Stick to express on cereals. It systematic where as heat and cleanstart are contact herbicides.

I have used a lot of express in the past to strenghten half litre R-up in past couple years when it was expensive, this year find I am just increasing to .75 or 1 litre. Do you feel express helps on dandelion?

Used express once ahead of lentils and would not repeat. Wonder if a imi tolerant lentil would have more resistance to group 2 express used with burnoff?

We use express on fields not spayed in crop last fall Canola stubble since we were combining in nov. It works really good but slow kill. Add 1/2 to 1 liter glypos its cheap this year.

Clean start is group 9 and group 14. Express SG and
express pro are group 2.

Heat is also group 14 I believe.

Something to consider. It is scary how many group 2
herbicides are used. It may be worth switching out of
the group 2 to reduce the risk of resistance.

Fyi I use cleanstart and have started using HEAT this year. I do this on all my lentil acres. Have gotten reasonably good results on dandelion with cleansyart and hoping for same with HEAT. As others have said it is a contact so no less than 6 gpa imo with high pressure to fog er in. I have never been happier after moving away as much as I can from group 2's like refine and express. (Hey have their place in limited quantities only
