Hello Tex.

We use Ammonium Sulfate with Glyphosate. 1 pound to go with 1 quart of 36% active ingredient Glyphosate.
We dissolve it in water before adding to spray mix. If not technically pure you may have to strain it first.

The Ammonium Sulphate binds to the Calsium molecules in the water thus preventing them from partially deactivating the Glyphosate. Therefore we add the Ammonium Sulphate ahead of the Glyphosate.

We also add a wetting agent to the spray mix.
