Subject: [Market-farming] Sandea

Jay... Sandea is not related to 2-4D. Its a completely different chemistry 
and a different mode of action. I do not recommend using 2-4D anywhere near a 
vegetable farm the chance of vapor drift is not worth the risk. Sandea comes 
in 10 ounce bottles, its a dry dispersible granule and sells for around $400 
and treats 20 acres... Bob.

Thanks Bob.

I assume Sandea is similar to 2-4-D in that it kills only broad leaf 
weeds; however I don't think 2-4-D is effective against nutsedge.
Is Sandea safer than 2-4-D and how expensive is it per quart?

Jay

Jay, Sandea does not kill grasses, it works well on nutsedge pigweed 
velvetleaf ragweed jimsonweed coclebur and gallensoga. It will slow down 
morninglory and very small lambsquarters... Bob.
