For a 100-gallon tank, how much pesticide and diluent should be added with an application rate of 2 pints of 40% dango in 5 gallons of water per acre?

To determine the correct amounts of pesticide and diluent required for a 100-gallon tank with an application rate of 2 pints of 40% dango in 5 gallons of water per acre, we need to follow a methodical approach.

First, calculate the total volume of the spray mixture required per acre. Since the application rate specifies 5 gallons of water, this is the volume of the diluent that needs to be considered. Since you're applying 2 pints of pesticide, let's convert that into gallons for consistency with the water measurement. There are 8 pints in a gallon, so 2 pints is 0.25 gallons.

Now, the total mixture per acre becomes:

• Water: 5 gallons

• Pesticide: 0.25 gallons (2 pints)

Thus, for each acre, you would need:

5 gallons of water + 0.25 gallons of pesticide = 5.25 gallons of total mixture.

Next, let's scale this up to fit the 100-gallon tank. If you need to fill a 100-gallon tank, you can determine how many acres you can treat with that amount.
