    I’ve not used that. Does it have a small booklet stuck on the container? I tend to stick with Roundup which serves me well.

    I’ll see if there’s documentation for it online.

    All the details are there. At the end it shows rates for knapsack use and nozzle. Normally if it’s grass or what I class as weak plants I aim at a low rate. Once you step up to brambles, ivy then I increase the mixture rate to comply with outputs.

    If I was doing around 500m2 I would be using 10ltrs of water and 250ml of Roundup with a 1mtr width nozzle and walking about 1mtr per second following the dosage on the instructions.
    I tend to use 100ml per 5ltr for general weed applications with good results. For grasses I go less if it’s annual meadow for example or more if it’s bramble or nettles.

    if say you wanted the best performance and with my professional cap off if you follow me, 250ml in 10ltrs would be fine but don’t quote me on that
    Gallup would be in the same ball park if aiming at the same coverage at 5/ha for 1000m2.

      Thanks for the info @Liz the pot :blue thumb: So a 2.5% mix is correct for my usage.
      You can put your cap back on now :)
