Daconil application

duajones · April 12, 2009

I need to spray today and am thinking about using my ortho dial and spray versus the pump sprayer to speed things up a bit. Adding 10.5 oz of water along with 3 TBSP Daconil with the dial set to 4 oz. Does this sound correct and are there any disadvantages to using this method?

Suze's instructions to me:

Set to 4 oz.
Add 8oz water.
Add 4 tbsp Daconil.

So you are doing it a bit more dilute than I do.

Ortho Dial-n-Spray is SO much faster than the pump sprayer that I switched to it and just do Dial-n-Spray instead. It does use up the Daconil faster though. So costs a little more, but you're done in 10 minutes instead of 30+.

Okie Dokie, if that is the rate you guys are using, I will do the same. Thanks

edit to add: This method sure save me some time, I can see where folks with many plants would use it instead of the pump type sprayer.
