Today I saw my first cucumber bettle and figured it was time to start spraying. I have some Warrior II That I got over the winter but all the lable tells you is how much per acre. I'm looking for a good mixture per gallon. Any help would be great.
Thanks

If the plants are young, I would use 1/4 tea spoon
as the plant gets older you can up the amount but like
any other spray don't spray in the heat of the day.
You do mean Warrior T ?

One quarter teaspoon to a gal works just fine..

agreed on the 1/4 teaspoon. I believe I went too strong last year (3 tsp./gal) one time and really shocked the plant at less than a month of kin growth.(completely stalled growth and didn't know why at the time but I point to this as the only thing that happened just before growth stopped) I would be interested to see what others maximum suggestion is when the plant is well established.

I have never used Warrior and I think there are several differnt strengths.

But here is how I figure out measurements for chemicals that are labeled for use by the acre.

First you need to know how many acres your patch is.
1 acre is 43560 sq ft

My calculations.
My 1st year patch 26x42 = 1092sq ft
1092 / 43560 = .025 acres
So my 1st year size in acres was .025

Anything that is measured for an acre I multiplied that number x .025 to find out how much I was supposed to use.

And I always cut the strength by at least half on plants under 10 ft long and try to never spray new growth.

Thanks for the response everyone. Looks like 1/4 teaspoon per gallon will work. I took houses off the plants today so the fun begins.
