Rodeo Herbicide is not labeled to treat Petasites japonicus. We recommend that you contact your local cooperative extension office for a recommendation.
Just to be clear, Crossbow Herbicide is not labeled for aquatic use like the Rodeo Herbicide is. So if you are using this in or around water where you would have run off we would not recommend mixing these two products. If not then you would mix them at 1 1/3 - 5 1/3 oz of Crossbow per gallon of water, and 2 2/3 oz of Rodeo per gallon. We always recommend you do a small treatment area to be sure that these combined products will not cause any damage.

Per the chart at the top of page 5 on the Rodeo Herbicide product label, you can use between 2/3 oz and 13 oz per gallon of water depending on the maturity of the target weed. For most weeds you want to get the product directly on the leaf surface as much as possible for the quickest result, however it will depend on the particular type of aquatic weed or grass if more specific treatment steps need to be taken. Please review the product label for specific instructions for your needs.

While Rodeo is not labeled to control Yellow Flag Iris, being a glyphosate-based product it possibly could. We are unable to find any product listed to kill this plant specifically, but any glyphosate product is non-selective and would affect plants treated with it. If you are making an application with a sprayer you would use approx. 2 and 2/3 fluid oz. Rodeo per gallon water or 5 pints Rodeo per acre. Please refer to the product label for application.
Rodeo and Honcho Plus contain the same active ingredient, but they are each formulated a little differently and are labeled for different types of applications. Rodeo is mainly for use on aquatic weeds, while Honcho Plus is used to treat annual and perennial weeds, woody brush, and trees.

Rodeo Herbicide is not labeled to control coontail/hornwort or any other submerged weeds. You will need to use a different active ingredient, such as Diquat, fluridone, or flumioxazin for best results. Diquat is a contact kill herbicide that works very quickly, but you may need to apply more than once, depending on how good the coverage is with your first application. Fluridone is in Sonar products, which are systemic, so they move more slowly, but work to kill the plant completely. This article from TAMU Aquaplant has more details on treatment recommendations for this weed.
