Hi. If I have two different herbicides and one requires 2oz per gallon water  , the other requires 3oz per gallon water  do I put 2oz of first and 3 Oz of second into just 1 gallon water or 2 gallons of water. ?

    Could I check why you need 2 different herbicides?

    The advice generally is not to mix chemicals with others.  If you need to use both, spray them separately.

    @dm2244 Are you in the UK? Too cold if you are. Also a danger to wildlife and possibly human health.

    Agent Orange was a very good herbicide, didn't need mixing with anything else either.

    The only herbicides that would be mixed would be some of the very selective agricultural ones, and this isn't the right place to ask that type of question, call the sales rep for wherever you bought it. Some can be mixed without issues others can't.
    Assuming they can be mixed, then both go into the same gallon of water.

    As I recall, agent orange was very good at making people very ill, both combattants and civilians in the affected zones and heaven knows what it did to the local fauna while it was defoliating the flora.

    Surely by now we've learned to be very circumpsect when using any chemicals, herbicide or pesticide, in our gardens and the wider environment.

    Thanks.  I'm in Texas,  advice from university tenesee, golf course research.  https://youtu.be/O4sKzPLnoq4
    Mix Katana and Kerb . The question is do I use 1 gallon for both the herbicides or 2 seperate gallons . They said 1 gallon but it seems more logical to mix 2 gallons
