        How much RM43 does it take for 100 gal of spray for fields?
        ByJul 26, 2024
        1 Answer | 
        Answer This Question

        It is about coverage when you doing a large acreage like that. Use 7.4% ounces of chemical per 1000 square feet in 1 to 10 gallons of water to cover the area. So on an acre use 7.4 ounces times 45.3=335.22 ounces. (2.61 gallons of chemical). You can put that in 44 gallons up to 440 gallons of water depending on how much water you are putting out per acre. You should test how far you spray with 100 gallons and then mix accordingly. Call us at 800-264-5281 if you have any questions.

          Has anyone used RM43 to eliminate bush honeysuckle? I read that spraying herbicide on the leaves would kill it to the root. Any input on your experiences would be appreciated.

          It will kill them and any other vegetation it gets on. Do not spray under the drip line of any plants you want to keep.

              Can you use RM43 in between the rows of pumpkins? When the pumpkin plants start to vine and put their feelers in the ground will they die off?

              I`m not an expert by any stretch but I would not put this down anywhere near plants that you do not want to kill. This stuff is fantastic for what it`s designed for, but rain and moving water will carry it to nearby vegetation and kill it as well.

                Yes, this will kill your pumpkin plants and the weeds. When they say total vegetation kill, they mean total kill for many feet beyond where you sprayed. This is so effective it will kill the pumpkin plants before they even have a chance to put their feelers out. This is NOT a selective herbicide, it is a blunt instrument when you want no vegetation to grow whatsoever where you spray for an entire year.

                  You shouldn't use it for that.

                        Summarized by generative AI from text of customer reviews

                        Customers say RM43 Total Vegetation Control is an effective herbicide that delivers strong results in killing weeds and unwanted vegetation, often within a week of application. Many users appreciate its long-lasting effects, with some reporting up to a year of weed control. However, the product requires patience as it may take several days to show results, and some customers noted that it may not be as effective on certain stubborn weeds. Overall, users find it to be a cost-effective alternative to other brands like Roundup, though proper mixing and application are essential for optimal performance.

                            It didn't do a minimal of the job that it was supposed to do and I can tell you that I did follow the recommended instructions step by step. All weeds were completely removed, I waited the 2 weeks recommended before applying the weed killer to the newly growing weeds. Mixed 6 oz to 1 gallon of water. Sprayed. Waited 3 days to see the results and not even ONE weed died. All new weeds were not even an inch tall.

                            This product definitely delivers and does what you would expect. I've tried other weed killers and all they do is upset the weeds at best, somehow weeds miraculously come back from the dead with a vengeance. RM43 is a concentrate which is the part that I really like, not to mention its got the preemergent (who wouldn't like that). It took out a woody vine that I tried other products on. I will continue to use RM43 in the future because if its effective potency. I will add that, in my experience, it takes 2-3 days to see any results. Just a little side note, I protected the root zone of my landscape plants with plastic garbage bags and sprayed around them and in close proximity and it did not hurt unintended plants. True story, I sprayed this over the roots of a Philodendron, because the roots were covered in this woody vine (Bindweed) that was slowly taking over my growing space. I wasn't too concerned with the Philodendron, but it killed the vine and not the Philodendron (Hooray)

                            Kills anything green and was a good price compared to RoundUp. We'll see how long the effectiveness lasts but all is good so far! I wish it was stocked in HD stores so I could pick it up the same day I realize I need it instead of having to wait a few days.

                            Best Weed and Grass Killer
                            The RM43 works better than any weed killer I have used before. For the most part, the large area I used this on is all dead and has been dead for 5 months now.

                            Works Great! Cost per gallon of spray including tax and shipping is around $2.05.
                            When compared to the in store products this is a bargain at about $2.05 per gallon of ready to use spray including tax and shipping. The two and one half gallon jug will make 53 gallons of ready to use spray when following the directions to use 6 ounces of concentrate per gallon of water. I did add a tablespoon of dish washing liquid per gallon of spray. This product does work. The product will kill grass, Bermuda grass, nut grass, weeds and all vegetation. I purchased this to clean up an asphalt parking lot which has been neglected for years. Thick growth of a combination of Bermuda grass, nut grass, rye grass and weeds were growing through cracks in the asphalt and covering the surface of the parking lot. Within a week after spraying the growth begin to die and within two weeks time after spraying all growth had been killed. As for the prevention of any new growth for a year I cannot say at this time as it has only been three weeks since the product was first used. I also spayed a small hackberry tree growing in a fence with the product and the tree shows signs of dying with the leaves turning brown. If you need to kill grass and weeds this is a fine product at a price that is hard to beat.
