Weeds- Chateau and Stylet Oil. Last week we saw a situation where the grower had applied a foliar spray with JMS Stylet Oil, following use of the same tank to apply herbicides, including Chateau, the newly registered pre-emergent herbicide from Valent. Apparently the oil in the stylet oil acted as a solvent for residual chateau that coated the sprayer tank. This could only be a problem if: 1) you use your foliar sprayer tank for applying herbicides, 2) you applied JMS Stylet Oil, or another oil-based product, and 3) you didn't thoroughly clean your sprayer. The Chateau label gives detailed instructions on cleaning your sprayer following use of chateau. See the note below from Regina Rieckenberg:
