Trimec Southern Broadleaf Herbicide is applied at 0.37 - 1.1 oz per 1,000 sq. ft depending on your lawn type per the product label. 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. It could also take you up to 5 gallons of water to cover an area, depending on the equipment used and speed you are walking.
