Default Kocide 3000 application rates??????

I bought some last year after I saw a Tomatovillian suggesting it and didn't end up using it because the warnings on the bejeebies (sp! out of me.

Working up the the courage to use it this year- and am wondering how you convert pound to acres to teaspoons per gallon. Started trying to convert it last night, I was thinking 1 teaspoon a gallon to be safe on my young plants (world's latest plant out ;0). . . then it occurred to me I should just ask y'all.

How do you guys mix it??? THANK YOU!!!!

Being the helpful kinda guy I am, I called the Dupont help line & asked the nice lady that answered. She gave me the following application rates & frequencies for Kocide 3000:

For prevention: 1 Tablespoon/Gallon every 7-10 days
With disease presence: 2 Tablespoons/Gallon every 5-7 days.

OMG---- thank you!!!!! I was thinking about calling but totally worried they'd be like "Kocide 3000 is not intended for use by home gardeners" and blah blah blah.

Now I just need to track down a hazmat suit to don while spraying it.

Thank you so much again. :0)
