CrawDude, what mix rate are you using in your backpack sprayer? How much per gallon?

I just ordered some Specticle.

TIA

At the labeled rate of 6 fluid oz per acre for St Aug and Centipede, I’m applying 4 mL, or 0.135 fluid oz, per 1000 sq ft. Since my 3 gal Solo backpack sprayer distributes 1 gallon of water per 1000 sq ft at my walking gait, I’m adding 4 mL of the Specticle Flo per gallon of water. I have a 10 mL large needle syringe that use to draw the correct amount of the Specticle Flo after shaking the bottle good.

Of course you need to add 4 mL or 0.135 fl oz to however many gallon of water your sprayer distributes per 1000 sq ft.

Craw, do you use a surfactant with your Specticle application?

No - not needed for pre-emergents as they need to be “washed” into the soil where the weed seeds are.
