I wonder what instructions they use in Canada?
I would have said 12 and 20 mL/L, but close enough.

So many times I get teed off because of the stupid non-metric mixing
instructions for Roundup herbicide. I thought readers might be interested.

Dear Eula,
Thanks for your email. But you sent me a canned response, except for the "Mr.
Wyeth" part. I am not stupid, and I know all about the metric system. My
email was to try to force someone in authority to even think about why Monsanto
does not list metric mixing instructions on its Roundup concentrate jug. It
would be so easy to do!
Actually, the mix for Roundup concentrate is about 1%, or 10 mL per L, and
double that for extra strength. What could be simpler? Why do I have to get
out the calculator to obtain this answer? Why can't Monsanto just say so on
the label? It is beyond me how opaque the marketing people are at this company.
Couldn't you forward this to someone in authority to at least get them to
think about this?

Thank you for contacting us and for the opportunity to help you with your weed
control solutions.
I am very sorry that you feel that the label of Roundup Weed & Grass Killer
Super Concentrate is misleading, Mr. Wyeth. Please note that there are two
dilution rates listed on the label; 1.5 ounces per gallon, and 2.5 ounces per
gallon. If you are trying to control hardy, perennial weeds, use the higher 2.5
ounce per gallon dilution rate. Easy-to-control, annual weeds can be
effectively controlled at the lower 1.5 ounce per gallon dilution rate.
The following will show you approximately how much coverage you can expect
from your container of Weed & Grass Killer Super Concentrate:
| | Quart | Gallon |
| 1.5 ounces per gallon | 6,300 square feet | 26,000 square feet |
| 2.5 ounces per gallon | 3,900 square feet | 15,360 square feet |
Mr. Wyeth, there are 1,000 milliliters in 1 liter. Thank you for taking the
time to contact us and for your interest in our products. Please feel free to
contact our company anytime we may be of assistance.
