I had purchased a bottle of Spectracide-Pro Pre-emergent from Home Depot about 4 years ago which had 12% dithiopyr(Dimension). I had been tank mixing it and spraying it on the driveway and sidewalk edges for crabgrass control and it worked great. It is now all gone and the product is no longer for sale. I am going to purchase a 64oz bottle of Dimension 2EW which has 24% dithiopyr.

Question:

What would be the required/recommended amount of Dimension 2EW to add to a 2-gallon wand sprayer. Can't seem to get that information online anywhere. This is in the Northeast

I have read through that label multiple times.........I just can't seem to figure how much to put in a small 2 gallon tank. Seems those directions are for much larger areas than what I am trying to use it for.

See the 'Equivalent Application Rates' chart at the middle of the left side of page 6.
The oz / 1000 sq ft recommeded is .73
What the label doesn't tell you is that it's 'green industry standard' that when working with hand-tanks, every attempt should be made to cover 1000 square feet with 1 gallon of spray.

So thus, add .73 oz to 1 gallon.

It's painfully obvious this label wasn't targeted for Joe Homeowner. :laugh:
