Spraying Calculations for Tall Plants

Retired UT Extension Agent Mike Dennison talks about how to figure out how much to spray on tall plants. Garden chemicals have an application rate in terms of amount per acre, 1000 square feet or similar. When you spray tall plants, you need to keep the same rate based on the square footage covered by the plant or tree. Mike talks about how to determine how much product you need to mix with how much water in your sprayer to get the correct application rate.
