I have been using 1.5 oz per gallon with no problems. I think that is the recommended rate on the directions.

wow, i need to up it. growth products on the jug say 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon per gallon. 2 oz is 4 tablespoons? correct?

Big Orange this is straight from Tom, yes you can substitute 0-0-25 at 2 oz per gallon without any worries as a foliar.

This point in the season, if your fruit is healthy and no major cracks...its go time! I gave my remaining fruit a 3 oz per gallon 0-0-25 and 10-10-10 foliar application this evening.

everyone is talking about the concentration or ammount of product per gallon, but not the application rate or gallons per 1000sq feet or per plant. Are we talking a cup per plant with 50 gallons of water or only 2 oz of product in 1 gallon spread over the entire plant?

Per the product application rate chart: for pumpkins - 1/2 to 3 gal per acre. So lets take it on the high side for an end of season last ditch effort! 3 gallons = 384 oz. Per Steve Jepsen (better write this down for future reference)..."When a product is listed as an amount per acre, divide the amount by 43.56 to get the amount per 1,000 sq. ft.". Sooooo....384 oz. divided by 43.56 = 8.8 oz of product per 1,000 sq. ft. And this 8.8 oz can be put on with whatever amount of water you want. Just cover the entire area. But don't burn your leaves, and water it in good. Got it? Please holler if I did the math wrong!!!

Nana....I love ya !

on the lower end of the application rate is 1.4 OZ. 8.8 OZs is a lot for a semi mature fruit and temperature swings.
