We have a 2600 sqft lawn and a 4 gallon backpack commercial sprayer. How much drive, water and surfactant should we add to the sprayer?

Seems like overkill. One jug of Drive will do your size lawn 10x over. Hose sprayer, 4-5 TBsp per gallon ratio. In my sprayer I add 12 oz of Drive and 2 oz of surfactant. (Always use surfactant!) Seriously for you I would just go to Home Depot or Lowes and get a $12 bottle of crabgrass & weed killer. Save your money.

50/50 mix of drive and surfactant on your sprayer you set it to deliver double the amount of what the drive directions say since you are diluting it by 50%. If you cannot dial how much is delivered then mix drive and water according to direction and add an equal amount of water.

I consulted with the local golf course and they recommended 4oz per gallon of water

I bought 1/2 gallon of XLR8 for probably 10,000 sf of lawn. I used 2 ounces per gallon + 1 teaspoon or so of surfactant on actively growing crabgrass in a bermuda and fescue central Arkansas lawn this summer. I spot treated the crabgrass, which had taken over probably 25% of the lawn and small patches of it in throughout. I've hit newly sprouted crabgrass or areas that I missed or that survived several times a couple weeks apart, and almost all of the crabgrass is dead. I still have more than 1/2 left. I don't think you would need to spray more than 1/4 of your tank at a time for 2600 sf, I would think 1/2 gallon would last you several years.

.9 oz / gal is my mix rate. Don't be scared to go a little heavy with the spray. It shouldn't damage the turf.

Formula is Length x Width x dept x 7.48 = gallons The amount of copper sulfate should never go above 2.0 parts per million(ppm) I use a 2 gallon Hudson sprayer and mix 6 ounces(granulated) per gallon for my smaller rather odd shaped rather shallow 1/4 acre farm pond. This has proved to help eliminate most of the green slime type of algae I have a problem every season. I generally give it a second booster treatment mid-season without any danger to the stocked fish I have in the pond. When mixing the product I use a five gallon plastic bucket(product is very corrosive)and always made sure to strain the mixed product when adding it to your sprayer, I use an old piece of a discarded t-shirt, works perfect. Unstrained it will clog your sprayer tip. The spray should not be a real fine spray but adjusted to more of a splatter type setting.

Hello - the instructions say to mix 0.9 gram (one scoop of the measuring spoon that comes with the powder) with one or two gallons of water to treat 1000 square feet. It also says to add 2 teaspoons (1/3 fluid ounce) of nonionic surfactant per gallon of water; I used dish soap as the nonionic surfactant and the results were fine. Here is a link to a discussion about dish soaps; looks like some are better suited for this purpose than others: http://forums2.gardenweb.com/forums/load/lawns/msg0511192431499.html

It depends on the concentration you mix. For the majority of the insects it calls for 1oz per gallon of water. My house is only about 1,000 sq/ft with a one car garage and it takes about 2 batches or 2 ounces to spray the foundation, eaves, windows, and doors. This includes spraying the inside of the basement along the band board. This of course is also depend on how heavy it is applied through the sprayer, ie as a mist or stream. It also says on the label how many sq/ft an ounce should cover, but as I stated above there are a few factors that go into that.

Yes, you will have more than enough Tempo to cover all the areas you mentioned. You need about 8ml of Tempo to be added onto about one gallon of water or diluent of your choice. Therefore, this 240ml of tempo will produce about 30 gallons of pesticide spray!

Yes it includes the surfactant. I couldn't find any information on the instructions about how much lawn it will cover, but it says to use 5 tablespoons per gallon of water. The container contains 1 quart of product.

I used 1 teaspoon in a 2 gallon pump sprayer. This worked great on my lawn! Mwangen

Well, it depends on how you want to use it. I use Surflan for 2,000 square feet of rock landscaping. If I am going to be planting anything in the near future then I cover any areas I might be seeding. (It wont kill established flowers, plants etc) Then I use a hose sprayer like this: Gilmour 362 Professional No Pre-Mix Sprayer, White (Discontinued by Manufacturer)Then I set the dilution rate and do my whole rock yard in about 20 minutes. Awesomeness in a bottle. Note that it is orange dyed so I would not recommend on white landscape rock, although the orange tint does go away after a few weeks.

I mixed it 3oz per gallon and I used a Smith contractor series two gallon pump sprayer for application. I spot sprayed and reapplied in two weeks with outstanding results. I had a couple of large areas and numerous "stragglers".

Jerry read the instructions booklet attached to the container, all applications (target foliage) require different mixes to destroy, its like 1.5 oz. to a gallon of water+ a quart of surfacant (cide kick) per acre for some aqua plants. Be careful or you may destroy your aquatic life as well as weeds. 2.5 gallons is gonna last a real long time as that amount just may be enough to treat Lake Erie. RAMC

For grass I use half a tablespoon per gallon. For best results spray every 2 weeks with at least 3 applications.

Using a 1 gallon pump sprayer, with a mix of 5 to 10 ounces of Pramitol 25E, expect to cover 500 square feet. At 10 ounces per gallon of water, 1 gallon of Pramitol should make about 12 gallons of spray or about 6,000 sq feet. Double that if using the weaker 5 ounce to the gallon mix.

I use 1and1/2 oz's per gallon of water. That will cover completely my 2800 square foot house. Takes me about 1 hour to completely spray the house. I use 2 oz per gallon outside

Mix according to the directions on the bottle and put it in your pump sprayer. You must also purchase and use some surfactant, otherwise itvwill bead off the grass. Spray away!

Yes. I teaspoon per gallon of water. Also add 1 teaspoon of a surfactant like Bonide 097 Turbo Spreader to help it stick to the weeds. When you spray it, hit the weeds very lightly with each treatment. No need to soak them. Tenacity works great. I used it last year on the nimblewill in our yard.

I use 1 oz. per gallon in a 15 gallon spray tank on about 1/2 acre to kill crabgrass. One time will kill what is up at the time. My yard is 4 acres and this year I have just sprayed Dimension 2EW (Dow) to prevent the problem from the start. Drive is a very good post emergent.

it depends on how much you are spraying of dollarweed. we filled a 4 gallon sprayer and did an acre of grass with a lot of dollarweed. It worked and was more than enough for us. Love the product. worked real well
