In the Label I do not see a recommendation for Tank Sprayer mixing. For non-crop land application, it recommends 4.5 oz/1000sq ft. Do you have any idea about the conversion for a 1 gallon tank sprayer?
The amount of water used to apply Surflan AS herbicide is not critical, but should be sufficient for uniform coverage of the target area. You can follow these steps from page 2 of the product label to calibrate how much water you will need. Steps in Calibration: 1. Mark an area of 1,000 square feet (i.e. 20 by 50 feet, or 25 by 40 feet). 2. Place the sprayer on a level surface and add water noting the final level of water in the spray tank. 3. Spray the marked area with a sufficient volume of water to provide uniform coverage. Refill the sprayer to the same level as before measuring the amount of water added. The measured water added to the sprayer is the volume needed to cover 1,000 square feet. 4. Determine the application rate (fl oz/1000 sq ft) for Sur flan AS from the “Approved Uses” section of this label. 5. To each volume of water used, as measured in step 3, add the amount of Surflan AS as determined in step 4. Example: If the sprayer used 2 gallons of water to cover 1,000 square feet and the desired application rate of Surflan AS is 3 fluid oz/1,000 square feet, then you would add 3 fluid ounces of Surflan AS to every 2 gallons of water to be used.
