Mixture rate of Reward (diquat) - 06/20/13 02:46 PM
Hi, I am preparing to apply Reward subsurface for control of Pondweed. I plan to do this with a 15 gallon trailer sprayer with a small two nozzle boom and drag hoses.
I have a 3 acre pond, and plan to treat 1/3 at a time at 2 gallons per acre.
I am not sure until I do it once how much product/pressure rate I need to use.
So, I am thinking of adding 2 gallons of reward and 13 gallons of water to my 15 gallon sprayer. Use my boat and keep covering the 1/3 acre until I use it all.
For example, if I only use 1/2 on the first pass, then I make 2 passes.
Thoughts? Also, I assume its ok to dilute the reward? Otherwise it would be tough to requlate the application of just 2 gallons oner 1/3 acre; meaning that I think even on the lowest setting my sprayer would go through the 2 gallons before I finish a first pass on 1/3 acre.
Thanks again for you input!
