Can I apply a non-selective herbicide such as RoundUP QuikPro in a Chapin hose end sprayer?

Need a long lasting non selective herbicide for 200 ft driveway using the Chapin hose end sprayer. Used Ground Clear in past but required mixture does not work with the Chapin. Have to give up tank spray application due to hand problems.

Answer:

We usually do not recommend applying herbicides or fungicides using a hose end applicator. Applying using a hand held or backpack sprayer offers better accuracy of application. You can apply a non-selective herbicide such as RoundUP QuikPro for eliminating anything currently on the driveway in a hose end sprayer.  However, you would only want to use a hose end sprayer if you wanted to kill all vegetation in a large area.  You must be careful when applying this product so it does not get on any plant or grass that you do not want to kill.  Also be attentive to over-spray when applying QuikPRO on a windy day. Please refer to the product label to apply the usage rate needed for your use.
