I ordered Compass and it came in a dry form with small pellets to be mixed with water. How much of a teaspoon would you add with 1 gallon of water for AGs? How many square feet of plant per gallon of mix of spray is best for AG application?
Any help is appreciated, Shaz

Bayer used to supply the purchaser with a small red plastic spoon with each 2 oz bottle purchased. I *THINK* the spoon was 1cc. Where did you buy the Compass? Maybe they have the spoons.

1-4 oz per 100 gallons to the point of run-off (according to the label) which is also the correct rate PER ACRE for Flint (same stuff).
So 28-112 grams per acre divided by 43.56 = .64-2.57 GRAMS per 1-2 gallons water per 1000 square feet.
If you can't find one of those little red spoons, then a postage, diet or other digital (or drug-dealer type) scale is the only accurate way.
If I had to guess, I'd say this would be about a quarter teaspoon. But this is a guess.

Rosemania.com is a good complementary website since rose growers fight similiar problems as pumpkin growers. They also sell same products. They state 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon per gallon of water. Once again, Tremor was on target.

Compass is very good fungicide. I weighted and transfered to parts of a teaspoon. I came up with 1/8 teaspoon for prevention and 1/4 teaspoon for all out war. Last year I never got any mildew so I stayed with Compass and three others in rotation.
