I get many emails about the usage rate for TKO. TKO is a great product but it can be "hot". NEVER mix it with copper containing products. If I have applied copper I wait 20 days till a TKO application can be made. After the application of TKO and if I need copper I wait 10 days before applying any more copper containing products. Per the label DO NOT use surfactants or adjuvants in with TKO. Early in the season the drench rate on TKO is 1/4 ounce per gallon of water. A tablespoon is 1/2 ounce so 1 tablespoon will added to a standard 2 gallon watering can. From mid June till mid September we apply TKO at 3-5 ounces per 1,000 sq ft as a foliar application, depending on tissue test results we could also add 0-0-25 from Growth Products to this. Last year after test results I was adding 2 ounces per 1,000 sq ft of 0-0-25 along with 3 ounces per 1,000 sq ft of TKO every 10-14 days depending on weather and pumpkin growth.
