Need help on the math on spraying TZONE in a 25 gallon sprayer w boom nozzle. I want to go full rate at 1.5. I have 2 acres in the front yard, 1 acre in back yard. If you can help simplify things that would be great. Like 2-3 quarts per tank fill. Fill tank 3x. Twice for front...etc. simple instructions appreciated!! Plant Cloud Sky Leaf Nature

Also in my experience, you don't need full max rate TZone to be effective. There is a risk of tip burn. #3 · Apr 7, 2018 Yes output at 1000. I sprayed tzone last year going after wild violets. It did a great job. I also loved tenacity but it’s expensive and will use it late spring summer if needed. Got some henbit, dandelions and clover going after. Yard looks VERY good but needs cleanup. Please advise on mix if I should go less than full rate. #4 · Apr 7, 2018 I wouldn't blanket TZONE unless you have good experience blanket spraying. Try Surge or Speedzone, they are cheaper anyway. #5 · Apr 7, 2018 If all you're targeting is henbit, dandelions and clover just get some 3-way. It's about 1/3 the price per acre and works great on those weeds. T-zone is only needed for harder to kill weeds like violets, sedges, and oxalis. At full rate it can definitely cause some tip burn because of the surfactant they're adding in with the sulfentrazone. No one can tell you how much you need to add because they don't have access to your sprayer. You need to find out how much carrier you're putting out per 1,000 sq ft or per acre. Start with just water in the sprayer. Figure out how wide a swath your sprayer is doing on one pass... typical would be 5-8ft on a 2-3 nozzle boom. You want to overlap 50% for even coverage on each pass, (so every time you go over a bump or your hand moves a bit on your steering controls you're not leaving an untreated spot or swath). A good way to do this is to spray back to your wheel tracks on each pass. Say your swath is 6 ft; measure out an area 10ft by 100ft to get a total area of 1,000 sq ft. Put a known quantity of water into your sprayer, say 5gal from a bucket. Treat the measured 1k area as normal, 3 passes, overlapping in the middle for even coverage. Now measure how much water is left in the tank. The difference is the amount of carrier needed to treat that area. Use that to figure out how much chemical to put in the tank. Like if you know you're using 1 gal/k, you need 1.5oz of 3-way per gallon in your tank for max rate. Note that all the #s in the above example are totally made up and just to be used for illustrative purposes. You need to actually go out and do all those steps yourself to be accurate. #6 · Apr 7, 2018 thank you all!! I ended up going crossbow w a surfactant. 2/4 D, tricloypr. I realize I was going overkill and running the risk of turf damage w Tzone #8 · Apr 7, 2018 Anything with triclopyr can be tricky to blanket. Volatile. If you over lap too much you can burn, gets too much on the tires you can leave stripes and you can also kill trees/ shrubs under the right conditions. 0 Reply #7 · Apr 7, 2018 crossbow is not labeled for lawns but i bet you dont care you must be a home owner that does not know what they are doing you do not know how to calibrate your sprayer or answer questions LOL have fun #11 · Apr 7, 2018 He showed you some pics. Aren't you impressed :popcorn:

#10 · Apr 7, 2018 Amount of product needed is clearly written on every label. Read the label and 99.99% of your questions will be answered. Using the label above you will need 9.72-12 pints for 3 acres of cool season turf in 30-660 gallons of water. Warm season rate goes to 6-6.75 pints with same amount of carrier. But to figure out your rate per tank you need to calibrate your sparyer.

It a lot easier to take care of one yard per season. Make 50 properties look like yours on its best day and you can brag a bit. 0 Reply #12 · Apr 7, 2018 Get some speedzone like the above poster pointed out. It’s an ester so it’s a bit more potent than a three way amine. Just don’t spray it when there is less than 3mph wind or over 10 mph wind #15 · Apr 8, 2018
