Dear Sunny
Need a bit more detail. By this time of the season capeweed can be getting a bit of size on. Are you still relying on the spray recommendation your agronomist gave you when you bought the chemical 6 weeks ago. MCPA bromoxynil or mcpa dicamba may be preferable. Be aware that the label recommends about 1.5 lit/ha of chemical plus about 30 litres/ha of water. I have however, found that with my drone I get fab results with .5 litre and 5 litres water. What I like to call my 5/5 special. I am sure you don't have anything surrounding your 4 ha for me to worry about so I could probably fit it in tomorrow evening when it is lovely and calm.
Drones are us are here to help.
