    Hi, got Croplink d50 for the bloody ragwort...had a read of the label, but it says only the rate at which it should be applied per hectare...I need to know at what ratio it should be mixed with water in the tank, but it doesnt say.Rang a saucy rep from croplink who more or less said i was a fool, and the rate per hectare was all i needed to know..It gives a mix rate for using in a knapsack sprayer, which i suppose i could use as a guide, but why does the label not give a ratio to mix with water for a sprayer...or maybe i am a gom....

    I think there is a fairly wide range in the rate of water you can use. I normally put on about 200 l to the hectare.

    Most sprays reccomend a minimum of 100L/HA I am not sure of the max if it is windy the less water and the less pressure the better I have mine set so I can use the 2WD tractor I think it is about 60L / acre about 170/ hectare so I just add the Weedkiller at that rate if it is 2L/Acre and I am doing a 5 acre field I put 300L water 10L of spray and away I go
