Remedy Ultra Herbicide Mixing Rates for Diesel Applications
Remedy Ultra herbicide mixing rates for diesel applications typically range from 1 to 2.5 gallons of Remedy per 100 gallons of diesel, depending on the target weed species and application method. For spot treatments, the common ratio is 1 quart (32 oz) of Remedy Ultra per 2.5 gallons of diesel fuel. This low-volume basal bark treatment effectively controls woody plants and broadleaf weeds while minimizing herbicide use.
Standard Mixing Ratios for Different Applications
- Spot treatment: 1 quart Remedy Ultra per 2.5 gallons diesel
- Low-volume basal: 1-2 gallons Remedy Ultra per 100 gallons diesel
- Cut stump: 1 quart Remedy Ultra per 2.5 gallons diesel
- Broadleaf weed control: 2-2.5 gallons Remedy Ultra per 100 gallons diesel
Comparison of Remedy Diesel Mixing Methods
| Application Method | Remedy Amount | Diesel Amount | Target Plants |
|---|---|---|---|
| Spot Treatment | 32 oz (1 quart) | 2.5 gallons | Woody plants, brush |
| Low-Volume Basal | 1-2 gallons | 100 gallons | Trees, large brush |
| Cut Stump | 32 oz (1 quart) | 2.5 gallons | Freshly cut stumps |
| Broadleaf Control | 2-2.5 gallons | 100 gallons | Weeds, broadleaf plants |
Application Tips and Safety Considerations
Always wear protective equipment including gloves, eye protection, and chemical-resistant clothing when mixing and applying Remedy diesel solutions. Apply during dormant seasons for woody plants or when target weeds are actively growing. Avoid application near desirable plants as diesel can cause non-selective damage. Store mixed solutions in labeled containers away from heat sources and direct sunlight. Clean application equipment thoroughly after use to prevent cross-contamination.
Factors Affecting Mixing Rates
Plant species, size, and growth stage significantly impact required Remedy concentrations. Dense infestations or difficult-to-control species may require higher rates within the recommended range. Environmental conditions such as temperature and humidity affect herbicide uptake and efficacy. Always consult the product label for specific recommendations based on your target weeds and application method. Some states have restrictions on diesel-based herbicide applications, so verify local regulations before use.
