    Q
    Can Grass Out Max (Clethodim Herbicide) be used as a spot treatment in flower beds?
    I have completely read the product label and the answer to "per gal.concentrations" questions which will not do! I have a garden with irregular shaped flower beds where it is impossible to estimate 1000 square feet for the amount of 0.2-0.4 oz. Grass Out Max. Like most people in my situation I will be SPOT SPRAYING throughout these beds. How much per gallon is necessary for an effective concentration to kill on contact regardless of the area covered?!!!
    A

    There is an applicaiton ratio for spot treaments on the product label for Grass Out Max (Clethodim Herbicide) as well. You would mix .33 oz - .65 oz. per gallon of water.

    Q
    What is the mixing ratio of Grass Out to water for spraying flower beds?
    I'm using Grass Out Max in a gallon sprayer for flower beds. In reading the labels, I can't find what amounts of grass max/water to use for that size container. Could you please give me that information?
    A
    You will need to use 0.2-0.4 fl oz of Grass Out per 1,000 sq ft area. Like most other herbicides the exact amount of water you use is not important, it is just important to make sure you get the specified amount of product over a 1,000 sq ft area. For ease of mixing/measuring you can add the specified amount of product to 1 gallon of water to apply to a 1,000 sq ft area.

    Q
    How do you convert fluid oz. per acre for Grass Out Max?
    I purchased Grass Out Max to treat goose grass in my yard however the application instructions only indicate fluid oz. per acre. How do I convert that so I can use the appropriate mixture in a 1 to 2 gallon tank sprayer?
    A

    Herbicides are a lot different than other concentrated products and can be hard to understand at first. The application rate depends on the speed at which you apply the product and the output of your sprayer. The amount of water used to apply Grass Out Max herbicide is not critical, but should be sufficient for uniform coverage of the target area. Calibrate by determining the volume of water required to treat 1,000 square feet. Use this calibration volume to determine the amount of water and Grass Out Max herbicide needed to treat the target area (see the following calibration example). Note: Sprayer calibration (volume of spray needed to treat 1,000 square feet) will vary with each individual operator.

    Steps in Calibration:
    1. Mark an area of 1,000 square feet (i.e. 20 by 50 feet or 25 by 40 feet).
    2. Place the sprayer on a level surface and add water noting the final level of water in the spray tank.
    3. Spray the marked area with a sufficient volume of water to provide uniform coverage. Refill the sprayer to the same level as before measuring the amount of water added. The measured water added to the sprayer is the volume needed to cover 1,000 square feet.
    4. Determine the application rate (0.073- .55 fl. oz./1,000 sq. ft.) for Grass Out from the Recommendations section of this label.
    5. To each volume of water used as measured in step 3, add the amount of Grass Out as determined in step 4.

    Example: If the sprayer uses 1 gallon of water to cover 1,000 square feet and the desired application rate of Grass Out is .55 fluid oz./1,000 square feet, then you would add .55 fluid ounces of Grass Out to every 1 gallon of water to be used.

    Grass Out Max per the product label is for use at the rate of 8 - 16 oz per acre to control goosegrass. So thats 0.18 - 0.36 oz per 1000 sq/ft mixed into the water volume you calculated from the test above. Grass Out Max also requires the use of a Non Ionic Surfactant which you will use at its labeled rates which are normally close to 1-2 teaspoons per gallon of water. 

    Keep in mind: Grass Out Max should NOT be used on home lawns or any areas where there is desirable turf grass. This is a GRASS killer and is to be used to remove grasses of almost every type from ornamental beds, around flowers and other labeled tolerant areas.

    Q
    Do I need to add ammonia sulfate when mixing with hard water?
    There's a reaction when mixing glysophate with hard water that stops it from working. Ammonia sulfate stops this reaction. Is grass out act similar to glysophate when mixing with hard water?
    A
    The active ingredient in Grass Out Max, Clethodim, is not generally affected by hard water, so you should not need to use water additives. However, if the pH level of your water is higher than 7, then you may want to decrease the pH level for best results.
