    Q
    Is there a mixture ratio for Malation 57% for a small garden per 1 gallon of water?
    Would like to know if there is a catch all mixture for a small garden about 450 Sq ft. Of Cucumbers, squash, tomatoes, watermelon, parsley etc And does this product work on pomegranate trees.
    A

    When using Malathion 57%, each of the vegetable and fruits you have listed have a different ratio to use per gallon of water. You would use any where from 0.15 - 0.28 fl oz per gallon of water for each one you have listed with squash requiring the most of 0.28 fl oz per gallon. However, watermelon only requires .15 fl oz per gallon. So unfortunately,  there truly is no catch all for your over all garden that would cover everything based on the product label
