24D Spray rate?

Recommended Posts

Anyone know the mixing rate (chemical to water) for 2-4-D? I have 2.5 gallon jug of it and the directions wore off. I use just a basic 15 gallon Fimco lawn sprayer. Just need to know how many ounces of spray per gallon of water.

Thanks!

Labels permit rates in the 0.5 to 2 lb ae/A rate (1-4 pints) for broadleaf weed control in pastures. Most applications go out in the 2 to 3 pint/A range depending on weed size and moisture conditions. Dry conditions require higher rates.

What product and how much area do you cover per 15 gallons?

I use 1 oz/1000ft2.

In my 3 gallon back pack sprayer, I use 3 oz of the herbicide.

If you know what you have for herbicide, you should be able to find a label online.

Where did you get the jug of chemical?

That would be a LOT of 2-4D. I don't know where you're reading those specifications but when I broadcast on my small grain the rate is about 3/4pt. per acre with about 10-15 gal. of water per acre coverage.

Fleet Farm

You need to go back to Fleet Farm and read a label then.

Either that, or if you know the brand, do a google for the product and find a label online.

Once you have the label, or the product NAME, not "2-4-d", I can help you out.

You can't really use what numbers people are throwing out because each product is going to have a different percentage of active ingredient.

Also, depending on what you're going to use to spray, you're going to use different amounts. Depending on how fast you're going to go with your sprayer, you're going to use different amounts.

Personally, the equipment I use, I use 50 ounces per 50,000 sq ft. That's about 3 pints per acre.

I use it in 10 gallons of water. If I mixed at 2 ounces per gallon, I would only have 20 ounces of chemical, and be applying at less than 1/2 rate, and wondering why nothing died.

However, if I'm using my spot sprayer to get close to bushes, flowers and trees, my chemical is rated at 3 oz per gallon in a handheld sprayer.

Lastly, I don't mean to be mean, harsh or rude either. I'm just trying to help you out to do the job right the first time, rather than waste an afternoon / evening, and then wonder or worry why nothing died, or possibly everything died, even the grass.

I could post many pictures where people thought they could just do it themselves, and "if a little chemical works, then alot of chemical will work better, right"?

I have worked with many chemicals and one needs to read the label as LwnmwnMan2 says as they are all different in rates. What works for one weed height may not work for another.

I always cut the rate down when I use a hand sprayer as one can apply a little too much very easily.

1 pint/acre 43560sq ft = acre

24D under dry condition can be a little hot and may damage some grass roots causing grass to yellow if sprayed on too heavy

i assume you are going after broadleaves and dandilions in your lawn remember if sprayed on wet grass the chemical will lift and move as sun warms the ground and kill flowers and gardens

good luck

I have found this to be something you need to experiment with to figure out what works best for your setup and the chemical you have purchased. A decent starting point is 1 oz chemical to 1 gallon of water. Try that, then check in a couple weeks to see how it worked. That's probably the lightest you'll want to go, and you might find that 1.5 oz per gallon really puts the knock on 'em.

1.3 oz per gallon is what I use in my 25 gallon sprayer. Ya need to be careful not to make it too rich, or it can kill the grass too or turn it yellow. I can say that because I have used up to 8oz in a 2 gallon sprayer, but at the time I didn't know any better, and that was a waste of chemical.

With 2-4D you won't have to wait a couple weeks. It's a fast acting herbicide. When I spray my grains in the morning I can see wilting on a lot of plants before day's end.

It's going to depend on the weeds, chemical formulation (percentage of active ingredient) and climate.

I did a yard about a month ago, and it was cool. The dandelions wilted fairly quickly, but the customer complained the creeping charlie was still green and growing.

I went back a week later, the temps had warmed up some, and the creeping charlie had started to turn yellow / red.

I agree 100%. You need to know what the 2-4-D% is before you can tell what rate to spray. There are differnt % of 2-4-D in most kinds of spray so one kind might have a higher rate than another. Best bet is to do as LwnmwnMan2 says and go back to where you bought it from and look at the lable of the same kind you have..

    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
    • I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.
    • reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
