I think the confusion was that both the 8.6 oz and the 4.3 oz were in 1 gallon of water so the concentration seemed way off between the label and the LSU paper. But if it works for you that’s all I need to know. Thanks.

Got you - it’s what I use, very effective and no damage to lawn provided you are applying it air temps that don’t exceed the high 80s, low 90s.

I know it can be confusing on the gallons issue, but it doesn’t matter how much water (gallons) you use to dispense the herbicide mixture provided you dispense it all over a 1000 sq ft. Think of the water as a carrier, not a dilutant. Some 1 gallon sprayers can dispense a gallon over 1000 sq ft, some can’t. Depends on your pace while walking and spraying.

That why it is recommended to calibrate your sprayer. Go in Your driveway with your 1 gallon sprayer filled with water only, walk and spray over a 1000 sq ft. If your sprayer empties before you cover 1000 sq ft pick up your pace while walking and spraying. If you have water remaining after spraying over 1000 sq ft then slow your down your pace while spraying. Sounds complicated but it’s not. It doesn’t need to be perfect but you want to be close.
