(tablespoons of liquid concentrate per gallon)
((actual square feet) / (square feet per acre)) x (gallons per acre)
= (how many gallons of mixed solution to use)
To use dry concentrate with a "pounds per acre" instruction
(or kilos per acre), first you weigh a tablespoon of the dry
concentrate.
(((pounds per acre) x (ounces per pound)) /
(ounces per tablespoon)) / (gallons per acre) =
(tablespoons of dry concentrate per gallon of water)
(To use kilos and grams, get the weight in grams of a
tablespoon of the dry concentrate, then subsitute kilos
for pounds and grams for ounces in the formula above.)
Once you have tablespoons of dry concentrate per gallon,
use the same area formula to decide how many gallons
to use:
((actual square feet) / (square feet per acre)) x (gallons per acre)
= (how many gallons of mixed solution to use)

Thanks! (I think)
Pretty sure most of my fungicides for Late Blight and other things were 1.5 pints/A. I have one in a squeezable pancake syrup bottle and see "1.5t" written on it...
