[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1249244, member: 18945"] How did you come to the conclusion that 1 qt is double strength? If you are told to heat something to 350°F for 32-34 minutes and you heat it for 34 minutes, did you heat it 4 minutes longer than recommended? If a herbicide label says the max allowed to be broadcast per year is 2.6pts/acre per year total, and you only need to spray once, at 1.3pts/acre per year, did you apply it at half the recommended rate? If that same herbicide label says to apply at a rate of 1.5 to 2 pints per/ac for wolley croton but you also want to get rid of dog fennel which carries a higher recommendation of 2 to 2.6 pint/ac, did you just exceed the allowable rate by .4pts/ac? When I see instructions that have a range like 1-2 qts/100 gal, I assume the 1 qt is minimum that will work for most plants and spray rates, the 2qts is maximum you should ever use, and 1.5qts/100 gals is average reccomendation. Dow's reccomendation btw, for surfactant use says exactly the same thing. [url=http://www.cdms.net/ldat/ld8C6012.pdf]http://www.cdms.net/ldat/ld8C6012.pdf[/url] Pg 4 Mixing instructions: [/QUOTE]
