Could I use a spray bottle successfully to apply this to a few brassicas?

you mix it with water according to the instructions, then spray it onto your plants using a spray bottle

Indont see why not. I have a larger area to spray so mix up a gallon at a time, but a smaller batch would be no problem. The stuff works great,too.

I would think you could use it for either substance. I have grapeseed oil inside of mine and it works perfectly well. It sprays in more of a stream opposed to a mist though, so you may wish to be mindful of that.

I haven't done this, but don't see why not. The stain probably isn't any thicker than other gardening solutions commonly used in this sprayer. Thinking that it may be easier to throw sprayer away after the job, or spend a whole lot of time doing a proper cleaning so as not affect future spraying .

My husband used it and this is his response. "One bottle goes a long way since it is diluted directly 1:8 in a pump sprayer. It took 2 sprays to kill unwanted growth from a Live Oak, probably due to the amount of rain we get almost everyday. You could probably use a garden hose with a sprayer attachment but I don't feel you have as much control. We were able to direct the spray on the unwanted growth and save my other plants nearby."

I found its not very easy, but doable. I vigorously shake the container first (doesn't do much to rid it of the clumps) but I think it distributes the ingredients in the container if needed. Then I measure out the amount to go in water. Since I use a pump sprayer its fairly easy to VIGOROUSLY SHAKE the pump sprayer after adding the 3&1 to the measured out water. Then I pump it to pressure and spray one plant. While moving to the next plant I shake the sprayer again. Since its never clogged the nozzle I think that pretty much works. One thing - after spraying it really does create a not-too-pleasant odor. But the stuff does work on powdery mildew which is the main problem I use it for. I found its not very easy, but doable.

I haven't tried either, but my guess is that it would work just fine for vinegar, as long as it's not thick such as a reduced vinegar. But your normal variety vinegar should work. I wouldn't say the same with oil. I just think it would be too thick to make it through the fine sprayer.

I would guess that 1 bottle will be enough for your blueberry bushes. You really don't use much of the product, and if it's going to work than you shouldn't need to keep applying it. For my broccoli plants I only needed to apply it twice I think.

It's in the form of an oil, so you could get it into a spray bottle, but I can't speak to how safe it would or would not be using it that way. I put it into water and use it in a vaporizor; I have not attempted to use the oil in any other way.

I wouldn't recommend it. Prodiamine, straight out of the container, is in granular form. Each granule is about 1 mm in diameter. All the hose end sprayers I know of require dispensing of the product as a liquid. For my application, which is to treat for Annual Bluegrass (Poa Annua) in a Zoysia lawn, I used a 3 gallon backpack tank sprayer. I measured 3/4 Tbsp. Prodiamine and poured it into a quart container. I then added 3 cups water and mixed the two together into a concentrate. I then poured the concentrate into the backpack tank sprayer and added water to make 3 gallons. 3 gallons will treat 750 sq. ft. The amount to use is 1/4 Tbsp. Prodiamine per gallon of water. Each gallon will treat 250 sq. ft. There are 3 tsp. in a Tbsp.

I used it in a hand-pumped one gallon spray bottle. If you don't need to cover a large area, a regular spray bottle should work fine.

If one was really careful ... yes. However after trying this the cost vs results are not what I expected. I have used 20% solution of vinegar added to water with a tsp of dish soap with great results. Discourage use directly in the garden. Use more for around. Also another recipe which works best is 1 gal cheap white vinegar, 2 cups of Epsom salt and 1/4 of dawn. Best to apply in sun.All these recommendations are for eliminating or killing plants and weeds so care needs to be done near healthy plants. In fact I use this formula strictly for weeding out stuff not in my healthy plant area. Both formulas work well on the average weeds but aggressive things like crabgrass and other toughies this does not work If one was really careful ... yes.

I see no reason why it would not work. I don't think I would leave it in the sprayer, but it should work. It handles Roundup well. We do not leave any thing in it. Mix only what you will use.

I do.. However, must be thin foundation un irder to spray effectively. not thick over counter bottle type.

You could try it. I would try the process on a similar sample surface first. This product is a fine powder meant to be mixed in to a volume of liquid. I am not sure it will stick to a sprayed on coating. Good luck!

I don't think so.I looked into that and it seems to be counter productive.The spray should be all you need.

Probably. This isn't a spray anyway. It's meant to selectively kill vines etc. on which you dab the poison using the little dabber that is part of the cap. Because of the possibility of "drift" you shouldn't spray herbicides b/c the stuff could land on plants you don't want killed. You should seriously consider less drastic measures as sprays can be very harmful to the environment. I would start by cutting the vines off at the base or as close to the ground as you can. Pull off the vines--take out all your aggressions on those stupid weeds. It's very therapeutic! If you can find where the vine is coming out of the ground try digging it out. If you can't, then carefully "paint" the remaining stem with Stump-Out. It might take more than one application. I have bind weed on my property. It has a tap root to hell. The only way I can control it is to keep cutting it back a couple times a year and make sure I prevent it from setting seed. I have been gardening for over 50 years and the longer I do, the more convinced I am that it is important not to spray herbicides or pesticides. Hope I have helped you.
