You will need to take a look at the product label as you will not be mixing by the ounce or by the gallon. Dismiss South is a very specific herbicide and the label states when using it on the tolerant species of turf for weed control, you use 9.5-14 ounces per acre, which breaks down to roughly 0.220-0.331 per 1000 sq/ft. When using herbicides the amount of water you use is not what is key, only that you get the correct amount of product over the correct amount of area so as to not harm your lawn by using to much, or not see results by not using enough. The best way to measure out amount per a set gallon of water is to mark off 1000 sq/ft, walk it with just water and see how many gallons of water it takes you to cover that area. Whether its 1 or 5 gallons of water both are correct and you will mix whatever you come up with for coverage with either of the above stated rates. Please let us know if you have any other questions.
