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.
