I have some Echo 720 that I believe is the same or very similar to Bravo. What I picked up is farm grade concentrate. There isn't much mixing info as it's all in L/hectares. Does anyone have it worked out to pumpkin numbers?

you first have to figure out how much of a hectare you have in area.

One hectare is 10000 sq meters

As an example, my 2700 sq ft patch is about 250 sq meters, which is .025 hectares (250/10000).

the label I found http://www.herbiguide.com.au/Labels/CHLO720_52518-0200.PDF states to use 1.6 to 2.5 L/ha in 200-500L water (depending on delivery system) per hectare.

I generally go with in the middle of a range first to make sure I don't burn the leaves. In this case 2L/ha is about the middle of the range. I would then convert to ml to make things easier.
2 L is 2000ml

Then figure out chemical amount for patch size.
On my patch I would apply 50 ml (2000 * .025)

Then figure out the amount of water to use. Using my stihl It takes just under a gallon to cover 900 sq ft. Converted to L and meters I get about 9L for 250 sq meters, this would be 360L/ha (9 / .025) which falls into the rate of water to be used on label.

So in my example, I would spray 50ml of Echo 720 in 9 L of water.

(for those of you that want US conversion, that is 9-10 tsp in 2.5-3 gallons for 2700 sq ft)

Thanks, I found an American pints/acres label that I converted down to the same rate that you ended up with.
