Pride Dilution Rates??

paddy147

Just trying to figure out some dilution rates here at the moment.

1 litre bottle of Pride Industrial weed killer (that would be 1000 milliliters)

The leaflet says 5 litres of Pride to spray 1 hectare. Im presuming that 1 hectare is 10,000 square meters?

So that would be 5000 milliliters per 10,000 square meters.

Water to be used is 90-220 litres per hectare.
Thats 90,000-220,000 millilitres per 10,000 square meters.

How do I figure out in millilitres,the right amount/mixture of Pride and water to use per square meter?

Any help appreciated,as Im a bit confused by it all.:o

Thanks in advance.

those application rates would be for farmers doing huge areas, it helps then to be very accurate. if you work on a rate of 45ml to 10 litres of water you wont be far off. 45ml is about a third of a small(125g) yoplait yoghurt carton- mango and orange;);).
hope this helps

Thanks for the advice.:)


So thats 45ml Pride into 10 litres of water for every square meter then?

Im going to use it in a 10 litre round sprayer bottle and lance to spray an area of around 45 square meters,thats covered in nettles and large weeds,thistles.




Oh and fruit of the forest for me.;):D

rje66 how did you calculate it?

I see it this way

P = pride W= water
5 litres P - 1 ha = 10000sq m
1 litre P - 200sq m

200 litres W - 5 litres P
40 litres W - 1 litre P
10 litres W - 0.25 litres P (250ml)

i hope it is clear
1 litre of Pride weedkileer can be use to spray area around 200sq meters,
you can dilute your 1 litre of weedkiller with 40 litres of water,
to 10 litres sprayer you have to add at least 250ml of Pride weedkiller

Well took a chance on the weather and sprayed the area today.

rje66

blackharvest, agree with your calculations.

I got 45ml/10L rate from one of the suppliers, but it wasnt Pride , so could be different rates.

That rate seems to work for most herbicides I use. I generally dont worry too much about the per M2 rates.

To blackharvester and rje66...forgot to say to both of you.....thanks for the advice.:)

At least I picked a good calmish,dry day for it (thank god).:D

Can anyone tell me where I can purchase Pride.
I was told it only available around Dublin and Wicklow, but have still failed to find it.

Thanks.

1 litre to 200sq/m ??? I think you're wrong there.
100mm to 200sq/m I reckon

100ml? :-)

Would you also not have to take into account the amount of water the sprayer spreads in certain time. Nozzle size, flow rates

I have never heard of pride herbicide, did an online search and only came up with something from the USA?
