Buy concentrate 41% with the surfactant added to it already. Mix 2 oz per gallon of water. I mix 1qt(32oz) to 15 gallons in a spot sprayer.

I have nothing against roundup, or any other chemical, BUT...
I'm 57 years old and was diagnosed with leukemia 10 years ago. I take a very expensive little poison pill every day to fight it off now.
I have no idea where that blood cancer developed. Gasoline, diesel, lawn chems, inhaling diesel fumes, processed foods, who knows?
That said, young men, take care of yourself. Try not to get chemicals on yourself, and if you do, take a moment to rinse it off. You probably will want to watch your kids grow up, and who knows, maybe even their kids.
I sprayed grass killer on my lawn today, and I'm not mad at Monsanto. Be careful.

At home, at camp, mix it with 2-4D when spraying duck lease to get the other stuff 2-4D isn’t effective on.

There are countless other chemicals you are exposed to on a daily basis that are WAY more likely to cause you health problems. That ain’t the one!!

personally I do not use it.
when it enters the soil it disrupts the mycorrhizae network that quite literally keeps us alive

Sorry to hear that. I’m about the same age. We drank out of any rubber hose, crawled under and around everything, rode bikes behind the mosquito truck and did pretty much everything folks don’t do anymore. It’s a wonder I haven’t developed it myself.

How much per gallon of roundup?

I'm using a 60 gal spray rig. I use 4 red solo cups of 2-4D, 1 of roundup and 1 of surfactant. Based on reports I was a little light on the roundup or the other weeds were under the hyacinth leaves. Regardless need to make a pass thru and touch up. Next batch will be 4-2-1.

So, roughly an ounce/gallon.

Wait, you don't? I think I may have been using it incorrectly

Switched to RM43 and find it to be much more effective.
