Under the plant canopy there are visible roots on the surface of the soil. Will glycophosphate harm the root or plant if applied under the canopy?

6 feet eh Don? I sprayed about 6 inches away a couple days ago. I smoked one plant, my best and I'm hoping it comes through. I got greedy, but the other two plants are fine. I did the same last year and got away with it.

With not enough time to grow pumpkins, I sometimes push the limit when I'm working in the garden.

I'm hoping it pulls through. Light green leaves but it's not getting worse.

Ryan, it will be ok, as i did the same thing, lol !
Dons 6 feet is correct and will be my new rule. Those small leaves must be VERY sensitive.
