11/06/2026 – From the label to spray tallow seedlings in the new 6-wire fence and other locations:
Mesquite Control Using High Volume Foliage Treatment: For control
of mesquite infestations of low to moderate density, apply Remedy® Ultra
specialty herbicide and Reclaim in a tank mixture to individual plants
with backpack or hand-held sprayers or a vehicle-mounted sprayer with
hand-held spray wand or spray gun. For individual plant treatment,
use 2 quarts of Remedy Ultra in combination with Reclaim per 100 gallons
of total spray solution (1/2% v/v of each product). Apply in water or
as an oil-water emulsion as described in Mixing Directions. If using an
oil-water emulsion, add the oil at a rate of 5% of the total spray volume.
2 qts= 64 oz. So, in 100 gal means 0.64 oz per gal.
| Gal of mix to spray | Ounces of Remedy |
| 3 | 1.92 or 2 oz |
| 4 | 2.54 |
| 5 | 3.2 |
Remedy Ultra post on this site contains the following related to blackberry control.
7/20/2021 Plans to Re-spray Briars in the North Fields
For blackberry and dewberry control in pastures see this aces.com paper. It recommends 2 pints of Remedy Ultra per acre. Converting that to a spot spray rate anticipating 1 gallon of liquid spread over 1,000 SF results in the following.
2 pints per ac = 4 cups per ac > 16 tbsp x 4 cups = 64 tbsp for 43.56 k SF = 1.47 tbsp/1000 SF
So: ~1.5 tbsp/KSF or ~1.5 tbsp/gallon spot-sprayed over 1 KSF = 1/4 cup in 2 gallons of water = 1 cup in 8 gallons of water.
Mix with 2,4-D Amine at 1 oz. per gallon, i.e. per 1,000 SF.
Ordered on 5/20/2026 – VivaGrow’s Pentra-Bark Penetrating Surfactant (4oz). The following is extracts from the Amazon AI. Plan is to use it instead of Diesel to mix with Remedy.
The amount of VivaGrow Pentra-Bark depends on what you’re mixing it with. Here’s the breakdown:
Standard mixing ratio: 1:20 (most common)
1 oz of Pentra-Bark + 20 oz of active product (Agri-Fos, Reliant, Safari, Merit, etc.)
This 4 oz bottle makes enough for 4 gallons of ready-to-spray mixture when mixed correctly
Per-tree application:
- Small trees (under 4″ diameter): 1–2 quarts of mixed solution
- Medium trees (4–8″ diameter): 2–4 quarts of mixed solution
- Large trees (over 8″ diameter): 4+ quarts of mixed solution
Key tip: Apply the mixture as a basal bark spray (saturate the lower 12–18 inches of trunk) or cut-surface treatment. Customers report needing significantly less product than foliar spraying because Pentra-Bark helps the systemic product penetrate directly into the vascular system.
