How much Trimec Southern do I mix with water in a one gallon sprayer? I have 7,400 sq ft to cover

I don't see that info on the label I have 7,400 sq feet to cover but don't know what size bottle to buy.

Answer:

How much of the Trimec Southern you use is dependent on your grass type and is found on the product label as amounts per 1000 sqft not not per gallon. For Bermudagrass and Bentgrass: 0.75 fl oz per 1000 sqft. For Bluegrass, Fescues and Zoysiagrass: 0.75 to 1.1 fl oz per 1000 sqft For St. Augustinegrass and Centipedegrass: 0.37 to 0.55 per 1000 sqft The amount of water is not as important as making sure to apply the solution uniformily over the 1,000 square foot section. Most herbicide labels will list how much active ingredient should be used per 1,000 square feet. To calibrate your equipment, for example, mark off an area of 1,000 square feet, and cover that area at your normal pace as evenly as possible. If you used an entire gallon, you would use the recommended amount in 1 gallon of water. If you only use ½ gallon to cover the 1000 square feet then you mix the recommended amount on the product label in a 1/2 gallon of water.
