I've calibrated my sprayer for 1000 sq ft. If my calculations are correct, I need 1 2/3 Tablespoons of Prodiamine 65 wdg and 2 teaspoons of Celsius wg. Do these dry measure volumes look correct for each 1000 sq ft of St Augustine?

TIA

Though I prefer to weigh dry herbicides on a small digital food/jewerly scale that you can buy on Amazon for $15-20, your measurement for Prodiamine 65 WDG appears to be fine, but your Celsius volume appears to be 2X too high. According to the label, a “high” rate Celsius application in 1 gallon of water is 1 teaspoon.

ETA: A high rate of Celsius per 1000 sq ft is 3.2 grams, and a teaspoon of Celsius weighs 3.2 grams. So apply 3.2 grams = 1 teaspoon evenly over the 1000 sq ft.

Thank you for the feedback and probably saving my daughter's yard.
