How to Use This Calculator
- Enter Concentrate Strength, Target Application Rate, and Tank Size.
- Review Concentrate Needed (oz) and Coverage Area (sq ft).
- Use Water (gal) and Application Rate (oz/gal) to inform your decision.
- Use the chart to visualize the results and explore different scenarios by adjusting inputs.
How the result changes with Concentrate Strength
| Concentrate Strength | Concentrate Needed | Coverage Area |
|---|---|---|
| 10 | 3.07 oz | 4,000 sq ft |
| 35 | 0.88 oz | 4,000 sq ft |
| 65 | 0.47 oz | 4,000 sq ft |
| 90 | 0.34 oz | 4,000 sq ft |
What each input means
- Concentrate Strength
- Active ingredient percentage on the product label (e.g., 25.1% for Demand CS).
- Target Application Rate
- Desired finished solution concentration per the label (e.g., 0.06%).
- Tank Size
- Capacity of your pump sprayer or tank.
What each result means
- Concentrate Needed
- Fluid ounces of concentrate to add to the tank.
- Water
- Gallons of water to fill the tank after adding concentrate.
- Coverage Area
- Estimated area covered at 1 gal per 1,000 sq ft.
- Application Rate
- Ounces of concentrate per gallon of finished solution.
