    Q
    Can I put the 63 oz Drive XLR8 Herbicide Crabgrass Killer in a 25 gallon sprayer and distribute over 1 acre without refilling?
    I have a 25 gallon tow behind sprayer that can adjust to distribute the 25 gallons on 1 acre or 43,500 square feet. The instructions for Drive indicate 1.45 oz per 1000 sf which would be 63 oz for the full acre in 43.5 gallons of water. If I put the full 63 oz in the 25 gallon sprayer, it would be the equivalent of 2.5 oz of Drive per gallon.
    A

    Yes, you can use 63 oz of Drive XLR8 Herbicide Crabgrass Killer in 20 gallons of water to cover 1 acre and not need to refil your tank. That is how the product label states to use.
