Have 3 acres of gravel lot with fringe edges worst for broadleafs, I estimate I need to spray about 1 Acre.. Considering Pramitol 25E with RoundUP sprayed at 75G water per acre, a 1-10 ratio for pramitol. Many weeds have been up for over 3 mos, reason for RoundUp. Most area will be sprayed with wand. PRIORITY IS PERMANENT AS CAN KILLING THE GROUND. What do you recommend for water rate per acre, Pramitol + Roundup rates for aggressive kills? thanks, I am a non-expert.
You are pretty close on your application needs. The Pramitol 25E Product Label states for under asphalt and similar areas: Apply Pramitol 25E uniformly at the rate of 7.8 gals. per acre (23 oz. per 1,000 sq. ft.) in a minimum of 100 gals. of water. Use the lower rate to control annual and susceptible perennial weeds and grasses such as downy bromegrass, oatgrass, goosegrass, quackgrass, puncturevine, goldenrod, and plantain. Use the higher rate to control hard-to-kill perennial weeds and grasses such as johnsongrass, bindweed, and wild carrot. Mixing roundup in will definitely help with the burn down of the already actively growing and emerged weeds. Using most roundup products around 2-5 oz per gallon of water will yield a strong enough solution for any burn down. Be sure to keep the Pramitol outside the dripline of any desirable vegetation on the property like trees/bushes/shrubs etc.
