Yes good move. Anyone using chems should be trying to improve efficiency, regen or conventional.
With glyphosate we use
1% sulphate of ammonia
0.15% citric acid
40-100g/ha fulvic acid powder. (Liquid versions vary in strength)
0.2% wetter
Rain water where possible. Lower water rates help if water isn’t great. We settle tanks with aluminium sulphate to reduce hardness and have a reverse osmosis machine coming.
I can’t comment of reduction of rates but id say were 20% lower at least than most. You will have to work that one out for your own situation.
Certainly interested in impacts of structured water on foliars, that’s a very interesting topic 🙂
