Peter, you might want to look at this:
http://newenglandvfc.org/pdf_proceedings/2009/ABCofTRV.pdf
And in direct answer to your age old question, it's both the amount of
water and the amount of pesticide that change (per acre) if using TRV.
(Assuming using TRV is appropriate and indicated.)
:-)
That said, we've always been told "the label is the law", and when you
apply materials below labeled rate, you are on your own in terms of
efficacy. Assume that manufacturer will assume no responsibility for damage
if rate applied is below minimum stated on label.
I'm confident that we are close
My understanding is it is both. X ounces of pesticide per 100 gal of water
and then TRV calculation and # of gals per acre.

got from a Cornell Cooperative Extension Publication at

You're probably correct Con. What do you think about coverage and
penetration? Reaching in, say 7-8 ft and up, maybe 14 ft as opposed to 3-4
ft in and 8-10 ft up. This goes to canopy density and the equalizer is the
denser canopy of the dwarf planting. What spacings are common on your farm?
