I am considering using household dishwashing detergent as a wetting agent
for a herbicide. I am hoping it will allow a finer spray and help prevent
the solution from beading up and rolling off of the leaves. Is this likely
to work? |

yes. A 'citrus' smelling soap is often recommended. You won't need much!
