    Q
    Can Trimec be applied with Ortho dial and spray? If yes, what setting to use for southern lawn?

    The rate for application for Gordons Trimec Classic Broadleaf Herbicide ranges from 0.75 - 1.5 oz. per 0.5 to 6 gallons of water per 1,000 sq. ft. depending on what type of lawn you have.  We do not carry the Ortho brand so are unfamiliar with the settings but you would apply based on the amount of product needed for your lawn type and the amount of water it takes for you to cover the 1000 sqft area.
