Accurate Reading, Measurement and Application of Agricultural Chemicals
It doesn't take much to do the job!
I broke down a pesticide label recommendation for the application per acre.
Label dilution recommendation: 2.5 fl oz, that's 2.5 fluid ounces / 100 Gallons of water.
Using the following Metric Calculator provides the conversion to Tablespoons which = 5 Tbs, or 15 tsp's

15 tsp/100 gallons = 0.15 tsp/gallon
ok, that does not work for the average person
Let's go back to the metric system.
http://www.sciencemadesimple.net/volume.php
Converting fl oz to ml = 73.93 ml / gallon
73.93 ml / 100 gallons = 0.7394 or 0.74 ml / gallon
Only 20 gallons of spray material is recommended / acre.
Here are some very important questions:
Who is doing the measuring of the pesticide?
How is the measurement being done and by what method?
Under what field conditions was the material applied?
Please comment.
