For sowthistle, prickly sowthistle, Canada thistle, or scotch thistle, you would use 1.5 - 2.1 pints per Acre(this is the same for blackberry), or 0.5 - 0.78 oz per 1000 sq ft. For spot treating with a 1-2 gallon sprayer, you would use the 1,000 sq ft rate in 1 gallon of water.

Without knowing the specific weeds you are targeting, we are unable to give an exact mix rate. GrazonNext HL Herbicide is applied at 19-34 fl oz per acre (43,560 sq ft). The amount of water will depend on how much water it takes to cover 1,000 sq ft thoroughly. Typically 1-2 gallons of water every 1,000 sq ft is sufficent, the label is recommending to use 3 gallons of water every 1000 sq ft to ensure the active ingredient in GrazonNext gets into the soil. Please see the break down below.
To treat each of the 5 acres, you would need 130 gallons of water for each acre. ** 1 acre = 130 gallons of water (3 gal of water x 43,560 sq ft (sq ft in acre)
You would need to refill your sprayer approx 3 times to thoroughly treat 1 acre.
Depending on what weeds you are targeting, you will divide the 19 fl oz, 24 fl oz or 34 fl oz mix rate per acre and divide by 3 (the # of times you will fill the 40 gal sprayer) .
Low Rate 19 fl oz / 3 tank fills = 6.3 fl oz per tank
Mid Rate 24 fl oz / 3 tank fills = 8 fl oz per tank
High Rate 34 fl oz / 3 tank fills + 11.3 fl oz per tank
You can mix the GrazonNext directly into the tank. To prepare the spray, add about half the required amount of water in the spray tank. Then, with agitation, add the specified amount of GrazonNext HL and other registered tank mix herbicides. Finally, with continued agitation, add the rest of the water and additives such as surfactants or drift control and deposition aids.
GrazonNext HL Herbicide is a post-emergent herbicide so it can be used any time the weeds are in an actively growing state. If the weeds are apparent now, then you can use the product now to try and eliminate them. The rate range for GrazonNext HL Herbicide is 1.2 to 1.5 pints (19 to 24 fluid oz) product per acre. Please provide details on your application for specific information.
The use rate for GrazonNext HL per acre varies by target plant species and use area. For general applications you can use around 19 oz per acre, and can do no more than 2 broadcast applications per year. This will be typically be applied at around 45 gallons of water per acre.
