Hello all, I know this has already been covered in the past,and I appreciate you taking the time to respond. I am still not to sure on the proper application rate for my current plant size.

I currently have about a 10ft main with about 4 rows of 4 or 5ft sides, IF anybody else is using this and can tell me how much Bayer T&S 1.47% they are using with success that would be great.

I applied 30 ml (2 tablespoons/1 ounce) tonight. I mixed it in 2 gallons of water and watered it in mainly around the stump and some along the main where the tap roots come down.

IS this Too little/to much or close enough? I also read in another post In which Tremor said to water it in after you apply the mix, does anybody know the correct amount of water to apply. I don't want to water too much and dilute it before the plant can soak it into the system.

Thanks A lot for your Help!!

Hi, I use it. Believe Tremor's post that I remember is use 5 ounces per 1000 sq. ft.. I used 5 ounces per 2 gallons of water and poured around stumps and first few secondarys. Did this 1st of may and again 1st week of June(6 plants). SVB's hit on time the 2nd week of June and wiped out half my crooked neck squash, but DIDN'T touch my pumpkins. Thanks.

Pumpkin Picker, the post that brotherdave posted is wonderful..It answered all my questions. I use Bayer T&S and use 5-8oz per 2 gallons of water. You should keep the soil moist after you apply. Good luck. Croley

Also, you can water the plant with it without damage I assume? I used Merit in early May but have run out.

Give Tremor the credit. He explained it to where even I could understand.
