For a 1.5o/o solution mix 2oz. per gallon or2qt. per 50 gal. Don't forget to wear protective equipment.
I use and love crossbow, it works very well. I mix 1.5 quarts to 25 gallons and add 2oz. of a leaf penetration solution that makes it very effective for Black Berries, which we have a ton of here. I'll run to the barn in a few minutes and get you the the name and excatly what it does. but it really makes a difference in the quality and speed of the kill.

Thanks everyone, I appreciate the help. Pump acted up this evening and couldn't get but one tank thru. Wonder how close you can spray to a garden without ill effects? Good thing the wife's not home tonight, if it's brown tomorrow night I'll just blame it on the japanese beetles.

Whenever you lose a label or it becomes unreadable, it is generally safe to say its going to be 2 ounces a gallon for liquid herbicides or insecticides. Just an observation I have made and I'm sure there are exceptions.

My wife keeps wondering why the rubarb (sp) dies every year.

Unless this is updated DAILY then you need to look at the label because I have seen crossbow labels change three times in four years as far as rates on certain plants, etc. We use one rate across the board sometimes overkill others just right.

I wasn't trying to jerk your chain or anything like that.
That just popped or pooped into my mind while I was reading this topic about the rates on the labels changing almost yearly it seems

About 10 ft if it is still. 50 ft if the wind is blowing. And yes, cfpinz the couch does sleep good.

Even if the wind is blowing away from the garden, 50 feet isn;t alwasy enough. Killed all of my wifes melons last year spraying down the driveway on the other side of the house with the wind from the garden to me.

I spot-sprayed some thistles with the 4wheeler sprayer about 5 feet from her garden a few weeks ago, no ill effects. Not even on those wretched squash!
