How much MSM Turf Herbicide you use will depend on the size of the area you are covering as well as the type of turfgrass you are treating. So if you are treating 1 acre of Bermudagrass and applying 1 oz of MSM per Acre, then you first need to determine how much water you will use to treat that 1 acre. If your 14 gallons of solution will only cover 1/4 acre, then you would use 0.25 oz of MSM Herbicide per tank. If your 14 gallons will cover 1/2 acre, then you would use 0.5 oz of MSM Herbicide per tank.
