Unfortunately you did not give us any information to help determine what usage rate you should use. We recommend you review the product label to determine how much product you will require per 1,000 sq ft. Once you have determined the usage per 1,000 sq ft you follow the directions below to decide how much water you should per 1,000 sq ft (this will vary for every person as the type of equipment will be different and the walking speed of the applicator will be different). 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 as directed on the product label.
5. To each volume of water used as measured in step 3, add the amount of product as determined in step 4.
Example: If the sprayer uses 1 gallon of water to cover 1,000 square feet and the desired application rate of Bonide Grass Beater Over-The-Top Grass Killer is .80 fluid oz./1,000 square feet, then you would add .80 fluid ounces of Bonide Grass Beater Over-The-Top Grass Killer to every 1 gallon of water to be used." If you still find you need help figuring out the correct usage rate (we know this label is confusing) please don't hesitate to call us and let one of our customer service representatives help you 866-581-7378 (M-F 9-5 EST)

Can you convert 1.5 v/v to 2 gallons in spray tank for spot removal?

A

The mixing ratio for Bonide Grass Beater Over the Top Concentrate is 0.55 fl. oz. per gallon of water. This will treat 1000 square feet.

Q

How much Bonide Grass Beater Over-the-Top Grass Killer Concentrate do I use in a pump sprayer to spot spray specific grassy weeds?
Your instructions say to use so much per 1000 sq feet. I am not spraying a large area but spot spraying on an ornamental grass. So it would be VERY helpful if you explained how much to use per gallon in a pump sprayer. I read an answer to a question that someone asked you on-line and you completely missed their point. I guess will follow the standard that Roundup suggests and if that does not work then I wasted $23.00 on Bonide Grass Beater.

A

When labels, such as for the Bonide Grass Beater, state 1000 square feet, the recommended amount is mixed in a gallon of water. The mixing ratio is 0.55 - 1.38 oz. per gallon of water. This will generally cover 1000 square feet depending on how heavily the product is being sprayed.

Why can "Bonide Grass Beater" be used with centipede while your other Sethoxydim products can't?
Sethoxydim products: Hi-Yield Grass Killer Post-Emergent Herbicide, Fertilome Over the Top II Grass Killer, and Monterey Grass Getter Herbicide all fail to mention them being used with centipede grass while Bonide Grass Beater does.

A

Bonide Grass Beater Over-The-Top Grass Killer Concentrate needs to be applied to weeds that are actively growing in order to kill them. This product rapidly enters the target weed through its foliage and translocates throughout the plant. The effects range from slowing or stopping growth (generally within 2 days), to foliage reddening and leaf tip burn. Subsequently, foliage burnback may occur. These symptoms will generally be observed within 3 weeks depending on environmental conditions. You would need to wait until the grass you are targeting is dead before tilling.

Q

Does Grass Beater become ineffective with age or freezing over the winter?
I used 2 oz per gallon of water...2 weeks later the grass was still lush as ever in the flower beds. I left in the garage over the winter and we had below zero temps for a couple weeks. It also had been awhile since I used it.may be 4 years old...it seems it worked when i 1st used it after purchase in 2015. Also it rained maybe 12 hours after I used it this last time...could that affect it?

A

Bonide Grass Beater Over-The-Top Grass Killer Concentrate has a shelf life of about 3-5 years from the date of purchase if stored at room temperature. It it was stored in freezing temperatures for a long period of time, this can reduce the efficacy. It is rainfast in 1 hour.
