Tools Needed

You will need a backpack sprayer, hand-pump sprayer, power sprayer, or spraying rig for large volume applications.

How to Use

• Step 1: Determine how much Krovar I DF you will need by measuring the treatment area square fotoage. To get square footage, you will need to measure the treatment area's length and width in feet, then multiply them together (length x width = square footage). To get acreage, take the square footage and divide by one acre (square footage / 43,560 sq. ft. = Acreage). Krovar I DF is be mixed at a rate of 6 to 16 lbs. per acre depending on the weed you are treating. For small area applications, 1/4th of a cup (2 oz.) can treat a 200 sq. ft. area. So for example, if you were treating a 1,400 sq. ft. area you would need 14 oz. or 1 and 3/4 cup of Krovar I DF mixed in a sufficient amount of water (minimum of 10 gallons per acre). Refer to the product label for specific application rates and restrictions. 
• Step 2: Fill your sprayer halfway with the required amount of water and begin agitation. Add Krovar I DF at the rate based on your weed type and calculated size of the treatment area and then fill with water the rest of the way, agitating throughout.
• Step 3: Once mixed, apply Krovar as a band or broadcast treatment around weeds you wish to kill beneath or between citrus trees or to bare ground. Reapply until the target weed has died completely.
