    Lost my roundup directions… Have about an acre of RUR corn/beans to spray. How much Round up do I need to add to my 25 gallon ATV boom sprayer?

    Might hit a little clover patch with it, too… Same rate?

    Much appreciated.

    Most guys use a rate of Round up(gly) per acre not per gallon, but you need to calibrate your sprayer so you know how much water you are using per acre.

    If you are using 41% gly the mix is 2oz per gallon of water. If it is less than 41% the amount varys, but it’s close to 6 oz per gallon.

    If you going to hit a clover plot you want to cut the amount of gly in half.

    Allot depends on how tall your weeds are. if they are 12″ or less use 32oz of 41% per acre. if they are taller don’t be afraid to go to 40oz per acre I would also recommend adding a surfactant and amonium sulphate or a product like hell-fire to insure a good kill.
    as far as the clover plot I would use 16oz of 41% per acre.
    I also have a 25 gallon sprayer and use 10 gallons per acre when spraying.
