I am going to spray my fescue fields with 2 4 D to controll some weeds. I have looked every where and can not find the amount of water to mix with it. I will be applying about 1pt/ac.
I have a large spray tank. Does anyone know howmuch water to mx with it?

Thanks
Devin

Most herbicides work with 10-15 gal per acre, but you need to calibrate your sprayer as you are doing to find out what you are spraying per acre, and then from there put in the right amount of chemical for the acres covered....

Both my sprayers put on right around 12.5 gal of spray per acre. Find out what yours does. The pressure, and the nozzle type, make a big difference.

I am guessing you are not a licensed applicator.

Read the label the info on water rate should be there. Keep in mind that the labels on most herbicides are in booklet form. You will need to remove it from the jug to read.

Nozzle's, travel speed and pressure are all variables in solution rate applied. Make sure you can acheive the rate you need before mixing the product in case you need to change nozzles.

Be careful about Temprature inversions and wind or you neighbors will be mad that you killed their trees or flowers. Or worse yet your wife will be irate for the same reason.

Hi , Does 2,4,d need a license to apply ? If it's bought at a farm store it's not strong enough to kill a weed anyway I've noticed . It might hurt your rosebushes but it only feeds real weeds . Same with store bought roundup . We mixed according to directions and spot sprayed some burdock in the side yard and it didn't even turn the leaves brown in a week . So we doubled the dose and same thing - weeds continued to grow healthy . We then put it on full strength and got some brown spots and a couple of wilted leaves but no kill except the grass around it . I gave up using store bought herbicides . I don't kill many weeds now though either ;) . If it's somewhere I really don't want it I spray diesel on em . Works every time . But I don't do that except as a last resort . I don't spray my fields anyway because it's horse feed and I don't want to take the chance . The horses can eat around the weeds . Besides , my wifes horses I've noticed eat the weeds in the field along with the grass so I don't worry about it . They love dandelions and canadian thistle . I don't like them because of the stickers in the hay but that's what gloves are for . JMHO ...Randy

The correct answer to your question is impossible to give you with the information supplied . You should have your sprayer calibrated and have an idea of how much GPA (gallons per acre) you put down at a certain pressure and ground speed with the nozzle tips you intend to use , then it is a simple thing to figure out - acres x GPA = how much water you need.

i was spot spraying 2,4 d yesterday, and read the label to find the mix percentage. i pretty much glanced through everything and seem to remember reading "10-25 gallons of carrier per acre".

if you have broadband, go to cdms.net and look at the label.
