Herbicides should only be used at rates that consistently give high kill. On average, using lower rates increases the chance of weeds surviving the glyphosate application. The likely result is higher weed numbers a factor that can increase the risk of glyphosate resistance. Therefore, the recommended product label rate should be used.
