I mixed 5 tbsp to 1.2 gallons of water, sprayed it on the leaves and NOTHING died. What am I doing wrong???

This thing needs 10 days before you see results. How long has it been since you spray?

It takes time for the vegetation to die. I sprayed our driveway & it took about a week before I saw things start to go brown. but a few days after I saw things start to turn brown, everything I sprayed was dead. It did a great job!

2 tablespoons = 1 fluid onceFor a 41% Glyphosate Concentrate mixture ratios are as follows:Water + Glyphosate = percentage of mixture1 Gal + 1.33oz = 1%1 Gal + 2oz = 1.5%1 Gal + 2.67oz = 2%1 Gal + 6.5oz = 5%1 Gal + 13oz = 10%I find tough weeds and shiny green leafy weeds respond best at 5% and above mixture rates. Also, it takes 3 to 4 days to see yellowing and 7 to 14 days for complete kill.

Most leaves have a thin waxy layer called 'cuticle' that covers the surface; sometimes its thinner, sometimes its thicker. Add a drop or two of dish detergent to each gallon of spray. It helps the solution 'stick' to leaf so it can be absorbed. I haven't used this brand of glyphoste before, but assuming its the same as Roundup, it will kill your weeds and this tip should help.

Normal Round Up is 2% Glyphosate. To equal that, you must use 6.5 oz. of this 41% concentrate per gallon of water. This means the product really only makes ~20 gallons of Round Up, not 85 gal as they advertise. Your mixture of 5 tbsp (2.5 fl oz) in 1.2 gal (128 oz) of water was only 2.5 oz/128 oz * 41% = 0.8% Glyphosate, less than half as strong as regular Round Up.

I mix at 4-5oz/gallon. Takes about a week for yellowing, everything sprayed is dead as door nail after 2 weeks.

Make sure you spray the leaves when there is no chance of rain anytime soon. Also it takes 4 or 5 days before they start dying.

One gallon is WAY more than enough for 1750 sq ft.... The concentrate dissolution is 3 tablespoons per gallon (1.5 oz per gallon) I put 3 gallons of water and 5 oz of Killzall in my 4 gallon backpack sprayer (3 gallons because I don't want to carry 24 pounds around at first as I spray....) Those 5 oz cover about 1/4 acre, the way I spray (a little over 10,000 square feet_ I spray my entire 3/4 acre grass area in February/March when the Bermuda is dormant.... killing everything green in about 3 weeks.... wilt starts in 3-4 days depending on temperature. Surrounded by pasture, I have a lot of noxious weeds and grasses that stay green in winter. Great product! One gallon is WAY more than enough for 1750 sq ft....

I put it into a hose-end sprayer that dilutes it automatically (it's an ancient sprayer, so I don't know what the dilution level is). I've been treating a yard that is approximately 100x100 feet and one gallon has lasted a single season.

I found its not very easy, but doable. I vigorously shake the container first (doesn't do much to rid it of the clumps) but I think it distributes the ingredients in the container if needed. Then I measure out the amount to go in water. Since I use a pump sprayer its fairly easy to VIGOROUSLY SHAKE the pump sprayer after adding the 3&1 to the measured out water. Then I pump it to pressure and spray one plant. While moving to the next plant I shake the sprayer again. Since its never clogged the nozzle I think that pretty much works. One thing - after spraying it really does create a not-too-pleasant odor. But the stuff does work on powdery mildew which is the main problem I use it for. I found its not very easy, but doable.

It is really easy to mix. I put the measured amount in a watering can and add the water. I try to avoid getting any on the leaves as it can leave a white residue on them. I use it last year when i thought all hope was lost. No more brown spotted bottoms. I started earlier this year and I have seen no spots.

That is what I did. I mixed it 50/50 with purified water.Since I am on a drilled water well, I boiled the water. Then let it cool, (but not cold). Put in an equal amount of flakes. Stirred them until the flakes were dissolved.Then put it into a spray bottle... It worked out OK. (No clogged sprayer like I thought might would happen).

I can't be certain, but it maybe over diluted. If you add 1 oz of water you reduce to 35 %, add a second oz of water further reduced to 17.5 %, third oz reduced to 8.75 %. That may explain lack of effectiveness.

This is a little hard to explain. Because it is based on your dilution rate with water versus what plants (weeds) you are going after.I mix at 2oz per gallon of water and use a 26 gallon sprayer for spot spraying our flowerbeds and the road ditches.Check this out for more info www.monsanto.com/sitecollectiondocuments/ito/2009%20herbicide%20handbook%20%282%29.pdfHope this helps

I had the same problem. A burst of blue came out, then clear, then more blue. I used it all up but I think I REALLY fertilized parts of my garden while some plants didn't even get a taste of it. Love Miracle Gro fertilizer, but the sprayer needs some help.

I don't know. My husband had no problems. Was your sprayer clean before using this? If you had something else in there and forgot to clean it out, it might have caused a problem. Did you make sure it was mixed? Also, did you make sure you had the right amount mixed in the sprayer. These are the only suggestions I have. It worked great for us.

I wish I could provide a good answer to your question but I really don't know much you should dilute it. I'd suggest you contact your local County or State Agricultural Extension Agent to determine the correct mix of this herbicide & water to spray on a specific plant. I used it full strength (no dilution) when I applied it to the Chinese Tallow trees I was trying to kill, and from the results I've seen in a very short time, I can say it's a VERY STRONG & effective herbicide. It's so strong that it might have been effective (in my case) if I'd diluted it 50-50 water & herbicide. Regardless of how much it's diluted, you'll need to use extra care to avoid having it contact ANY nearby vegetation that you don't want to kill. Wish I could have been more helpful.

I sprayed with a pump sprayer and did the best I could do, especially the lower affected leaves. It did work. My cousin told me about it. Then the darn frost got them before they ripened.

I mix with water and use some surfactant. I got a good looking result on autumn olive, blackberry vines, sericia lespedza(not sure of spelling) and bicolor lespedeza as well as any other broad leaf weeds. Hopes this helps. I sprayed last week.

I used 3 teaspoons full to 1 gallon of water. I water my 9 plants once a week. I did it for four weeks and it did work. We haven't seen any tiny flies in a while now. The plants were infested by a new plant I bought at the super market. I should have kept it apart from the others until I knew it was clean but I didn't. But the natrol WDG worked.

to to the website http://www.scotts.com/smg/templateFramework/images/microSites/SCOTTSCOM/pdf/GL_Fruit_Tree_Spray_Label.pdf - MIXING INSTRUCTIONS: Mix at the rate of 2 tablespoons (1 fluid ounce) per gallon of water. Thoroughly mix solution and spray all plant leaf surfaces including undersides of leaves) until completely wet. Excessive application is unnecessary and to be avoided. Frequently agitate solution as you spray.

Im not sure, since i only have a tomato plant and beets, i just mix about one to two teaspoons, a few drops of tea tree oil, a few drops of lavender oil, and a few drops of phosphate free dishwashing kiquid in a condiment bottle, about a 12oz squeeze bottle and dilute with water, shake and squeeze all over my leaves, and i havent seen a bug since.

Mixing depends on what you are treating. There is a very concise guide on the flyleaf of the product. All you need to do is pour the liquid into a sprayer (like Orhto or any major brand) and dial to the setting that matches what you are treating....could be 1 tablespoon per gallon, 1.5, 2, etc...it is pretty simple.
