1 fl oz is 6 tsp. So 5 fl oz is 30 tsp. Divide by 100 and you have .3 tsp per gallon.

That is equivalent to 24 - 36 teaspoons per 100 gallons (6 teaspoons per ounce), thus ~1/4 - ~1/3 teaspoon per gallon.

Mighty, and I'd say suspiciously, low rate. I'd double check that application rate.

4 oz per 100 gal is the proper rate for eagle 20 ew
I run loads of this stuff in the spring.

Looked up the 4-6 oz/100gal rate on the label, it is correct.

MM:

I use a systemic called Orbit as a brown rot preventative on stone fruits that has a similar application rate on the accompanying brochure (intended for commercial use), and my math is the same as Scott's.

I use an eyedropper intended for veterinary administration of antibiotics that is calibrated in CC's, and add 1 1/2-2 CC's to each gallon of water. That's a tiny amount in terms of volume, but it seems to be enough with these powerful systemics.

It is also enough to give a distinct chemical odor to the spray mix.

Don: great idea, I think I might try a syringe or 2 minus the needle. My boss is a commercial applicator out here in the wheat belt. One day he showed me a 16oz. container of some pesticide he now uses in his 500 gal spray tank. He had to buy a scale to measure accurately in the 10ths of grams/500gal.. The little bottle cost him several hundred dollars.

Thanks to all for thier feedback - I may have been able to figure it out but I would not have been very confident in the results.
Next question - I realize now I have enough of this product to last me decades. Any idea on the shelf life of this and other fungicides including those in powder form?
Thanks

Contact the manufacturers and then get back with the answers, please. There are lots if not all liquids that must not freeze. I salted out my liquid lime spray the first winter I had it by leaving it in the garage, oops! Speaking of that, any chemists out there know if I can heat the stuff to get it back in solution?

cool thread.

Southern Ag in Boone, NC all but guaranteed me that I could keep NOVA in a cool dry place for 15 years and it would be just as effective on cedar rust as it was the day it was funneled into the package. it is a wettable powder.

HURRAY!!! Wait a minute, I don't have a cool, dry place. Cool damp, yep, warm dry, yep. Wonder which is better?

I went to Dow's site but could not find any specifics for eagle.However this Ohio state site stated that with good storage conditions most fungicides can last up to 3 years. As to wet,dry ,hot or cold -this might help- scroll down to page 86-

MM:

I can't speak to all the fungicides in their myriad forms, but the Orbit I bought about 12 years ago is just as effective as the day I first applied it. Good thing too, because I use such small amounts that I still have most of a quart left. It looks like the shelf life of Orbit is indefinite.

I keep my chemicals in the furnace room, but the furnace is almost never on since I heat with a wood stove. So the chemicals are at ambient heat and humidity of the house. I keep the lids on everything tight.
