I plan to use this product to kill privet hedge. What is the proper mixture per 5 gallon sprayer? Thanks...

Must be a big hedge for 5 gallons. I mix only one gallon at a time in a small (1.5 gallon) sprayer, 4 quarts of diesel and 2 quart of herbicide. Mostly applying to the trunk of small trees, but this mixture also effectively took out a few privet hedges along a clearing. It works slow but is deadly. Good Luck, be careful with over spray and drifting MIKE

You can buy this herbicide premixed for non-forest uses at Home Depot and Lowes. The percentage I have seen was 6%, which seems low. If you want to buy and create your own mixture I would make it stronger. I have used the 1:3 Tri:Diesel on english ivy only to have it affect nearby plants, so I suggest a much weaker mix. I suggest beginning at 10% and working up depending on its effectiveness.

I sprayed the privet hedge at my place using 5 ounces per gal. and it killed it the first spraying. One suggestion, when the leaves fall after spraying(about a week) cut it to the ground and paint the stumps with the Tricolopyr, to insure it won't come back. Use a mask, long sleeve and rubber gloves, spray on a windless day, there will be drift. I would recommend buying the sprayer that attaches to a garden hose and use setting 10, it makes spraying a snap. The sprayer sprays up to 30 feet with a wide swath, or a stream and it cost less than 20 bucks.

Ortho Poison Ivy Control concentrate is 8% Triclopyr (5.74% acid equivalent). Recommended dilution is 1oz/ gallon to 4oz/gallon (100 sq feet coverage per gallon). The effective concentration of the working solution is 0.25% of triclopyr. This is ridiculously low number, yet it is effective when the green leaves are uniformly wet. When treating woody stem (stumps, or instances where the leaves are sparse or unreachable), it may require hacking the stem, and application (by painting or drizzling) of higher concentration of the herbicide.

I don't know exactly. It depends what you're trying to kill and what you're trying to preserve. I can tell you that I was trying to eliminate a persistent creeping weed from my lawn and mixed the concentrate stronger than recommended on the directions. The result was killed weeds and killed lawn. It's taken some time for the lawn to return after much hard work but the weeds seem to be gone for good. I suggest following the directions and try a stronger dose two weeks later if the initial application does not work.

One of the label suggestions is to mix Triclopyr 4E with diesel in the ratio 1/3 Triclopyr, 2/3 diesel. I take that and put in a little sprayer and squirt it on the trunk of the plant for an area of about 18 inches of trunk. It can be close to the ground or a little higher, either is ok. You might have to do all of the main branches. It takes about 6-8 weeks to kill the woody type plants.

USDA published a book concerning non-native invasive plants. They have several different recommendations including Triclopyr 4 oz per gallon of water. The suggestions about application to stumps and to the trunks are also useful, depending on the size of the plants you are dealing with. If you are going to cut it down eventually, why not do that first and make the stump application, which must be done immediately after cutting.

Not sure of the mix ratio. On the label. You can use hose end or pump sprayer

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.

Hi Aufderheide,You mix this product anywhere from 1/2 ounce to 3 ounces per gallon of water or diesel fuel for control of broadleaf weeds and brush.Best,Innova Supply Inc

there is a 15 page doc attached to the back. i use about 4 oz in a 2.5 gallon hand sprayer. the doc has 3-4 oz for 2 gal and covers 2000 sq ft. this says for cool season turfgrass. different for warm season turfgrass. I spray on weeds that aren't in any grass.

I use a ortho sprayer and all you do is set the oz's etc. If you do it manual use 2-4 tbsp. per/Gal of water

According to product's website you need to apply 1 to 3 tbsp./Gal. of ready-to-spray herbicide. If you use 1 tbsp./Gal. this bottle will cover about 16 Gallons of ready-to-spray herbicide.

The quick answer is no, but the best answer is to mix about 1/2 to 1 cup (varies with amount of weeds) with about 2 gallons of water then add a 'wetting' agent like (believe it or not) 1 1/2 ounces (about 1 shot) of joy liquid soap. That will break the surface tension of the water and spread the diuron over a larger area before allowing it to drop to the bottom. This will vastly increase the coverage area and improve the overall job while using less material. If the intent is to totally clear out the pond, then throw a half pound in dry and it will mix. As I have mentioned to others, brace yourself for an algae bloom from the dying weeds. It will need to be treated as well when it comes.

The dilution ratio varies by what you want to kill. For tough-to-kill vegetation I use a dilution as strong as 6 oz. per gallon. I've used a dilution of 2 oz. per gallon and gotten good results. I've even used about a half-gallon of the 6oz./gallon mix that was left in my tank sprayer, added 15 gallons of water and sprayed a field where I wanted to suppress weeds and got good results, with a few weeds dead and the rest of them stopped growing. For more information you can search the web for the label instructions.

Don't use the sprayer that comes in the quart size. The plunger doesn't work and the spray nozzle clogs easily. Buy the quart concentrate and use a regular 2.5 gallon sprayer you can get at any hardware store. Deer Stopper is the most effective deer repellent I have ever used on my Rhododendrons. Deer won't even eat impatiens (known as "deer candy") treated with Deer Stopper.

Depends what you want to kill but for most weeds (not brush) 2.5 ounces per gallon works great.

I mix at 4-5oz/gallon. Takes about a week for yellowing, everything sprayed is dead as door nail after 2 weeks.

I wish I could provide a good answer to your question but I really don't know much you should dilute it. I'd suggest you contact your local County or State Agricultural Extension Agent to determine the correct mix of this herbicide & water to spray on a specific plant. I used it full strength (no dilution) when I applied it to the Chinese Tallow trees I was trying to kill, and from the results I've seen in a very short time, I can say it's a VERY STRONG & effective herbicide. It's so strong that it might have been effective (in my case) if I'd diluted it 50-50 water & herbicide. Regardless of how much it's diluted, you'll need to use extra care to avoid having it contact ANY nearby vegetation that you don't want to kill. Wish I could have been more helpful.

I used it for spots of "bentgrass" and it killed it. Unfortunately I sprayed in the fall, I know it killed it, but I'm away and can't say how it is now. Asto area I would say at the mix amounts in directions 8 oz should do the job with some left.

.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.

It is Trimec!... I have used it ovr 25 years and nothing can beat it as I kills over 200 weeds! You just have to make sure that if you are using a lawn sprayer, that you do not apply more that 1 and 1/2 ounce per gallon of water. For an average size yard, a gallon will last you 2-3 years! much cheaper than a lawn service! just do not let it freeze in your garage over the winter.
