How in the world do I measure.04 oz.?

0.04 oz of liquid is approximately 0.24 teaspoons (tsp).
This conversion assumes the liquid is water or has a similar density, as 1 fluid ounce equals approximately 6 teaspoons. So, 0.04 oz × 6 tsp/oz = 0.24 tsp.

Recognition Herbicide Application Rates
1 acre = 43,500 sq ft
1.29 / 43.5 = .03 oz

1 oz = 28 grams
.03 oz = .85 grams

So the rate converted to grams is .85 grams / 1,000 sq ft
1 gallon of spray mix covers 1,000 sq ft

Fusilade2 Herbicide rate: 24 oz / acre
This is a liquid concentrate so the rate here is expressed in volume. This means you can use a measuring cup to measure out the product.

1 acre = 43,500 sq ft
24 oz / acre

24 / 43.5 = .55

So the rate of Fusilade2 is .55 oz / 1,000 sq ft
1 gallon of spray mix covers 1,000 sq ft

Surfactant
There is also a recommendation to use surfactant. I have non-ionic surfactant and I used 1 oz / gallon.

I mixed up 3 gallons which is enough to cover 3,000 sq ft. If you also want to mix up 3 gallons, this is your fill sheet:

3,000 sq ft
3 gallons

.85 x 3 = 2.55 grams of RECOGNITION herbicide

.55 x 3 = 1.65 oz FUSILADE2 herbicide

3 oz non-ionic surfactant

This same mix can be used on St Augustine grass and Zoysia grass as a broad leaf weed killer and to eliminate the bermuda grass that may be invading. Here are some other best practices to follow:

No watering or rain for at least 3 hours. That’s the minimum amount of time they want you to leave it sitting but if you can let it go overnight that’s even better. Let that stuff soak in!
