Mixing celsius for backpack treatments?

Ijustwantausername · Jan 27, 2016

I have not used a granular type pesticide other than roundup quikpro, and I generally mixed it a day before spraying so the agitation from the truck jostling would mix it perfectly.

Should I treat celsius any different? How hard is it to dissolve? It seems to have smaller granules compared to quikpro. On occasion I would mix the quikpro in an old jug. Suggestions?

I fill the pump sprayer with whatever amount of water I need to mix, then add one teaspoon of Celsius per gallon. I put the lid on and shake. When I get to the job site I shake again.

Ok thanks for the help.

Mix only what you need for the job. The granules go into solution rather easily. I put mine into an 8 oz measuring cup with water and stir until dissolved. I do the same with all granulated sulfonylurea herbicides.

For the MSO, am I reading this right that I would need 2.5-5oz/4 gallon mixture?

Celsius label reads: For difficult-to-control weeds, add methylated seed oil (MSO) at a rate of 0.5-1% v/v to the spray solution.

128oz*4=512oz*.01%vol=5.12oz MSO high rate for 4 gallons.

I think I read where someone just put in 1oz/Gal MSO for spot treatment.
