Applied the remaining amount of concentrate of 5 fl oz with 14 gallons of water and treated 1 acre, I am not seeing the same great results as I did last year, was my math off in this 2nd treatment?
When it comes to Dismiss NXT Herbicide, the rate will depend on your type of turfgrass (cool or warm season). For a cool-season lawn, you will mix at 0.117 - 0.234 per 1 gallon, or 1.638 to 3.276 oz per 14 gallons of water. For a warm-season lawn, you will mix at 0.234 - 0.350, or 3.276 to 4.9 oz to 14 gallons of water. If using 5 fl oz with 14 gallons of water, that sounds like you mixed at a high rate for a warm-season lawn. With cooler temperatures, it can take longer for the herbicide to translocate throughout the weed it could just be more time is needed for the application to work its way down to the roots. Other factors could be where the bottle was stored after opening. Was it exposed to extreme heat or freezing temperatures or stored in a cool dry environment? If concentrates are exposed to extremely high or freezing temperatures, this can affect or reduce the efficacy of the application.
