1.5 oz per gallon. i think one gallon per thousand sq ft and spray when its under 85 degrees, takes some two weeks to a month. alternatively, you could let this dangerous chemical lay and wait for your crabgrass to die this fall, and then place a pre-emergent.

Asulox(carbamate family, catagory 3) needs to be agitated when applyed, maintain agitation during application if using high volumes. if your water has a PH of 6 or less the performance will be reduced. Asulox is usually used to control bracken fern, grasses in sugar cane, and a range of weeds and grasses in crops and pastures. dont know if you where planning on using a wetting agent with the Asulox but if you do it will damage the turf.

Asulox is very valuable since the manufacturer screwed homeowners over andyanked labeling for anything but crops and sod farms. You might considering selling it.

Isn’t Image labeled for post-emergent crabgrass control?
