How much wettable powder is equivalent to 1 pound per 100 gallons in tablespoons per gallon?

To determine how much wettable powder is equivalent to 1 pound per 100 gallons in tablespoons per gallon, it is essential to convert the measurement systematically.

1 pound is equivalent to 16 ounces. Since there are 100 gallons in this calculation, we need to distribute the total weight of the powder across the entire volume. This can be calculated by first understanding that 1 pound per 100 gallons translates to how much that would be per gallon.

Calculating this gives:

1 pound / 100 gallons = 0.01 pounds per gallon.

Now, convert 0.01 pounds into ounces:

0.01 pounds * 16 ounces/pound = 0.16 ounces per gallon.

Next, we need to convert ounces into tablespoons. There are 2 tablespoons in 1 ounce, so:

0.16 ounces * 2 tablespoons/ounce = 0.32 tablespoons per gallon.

Now, converting this to the nearest standard measurement, we can consider how many tablespoons are in 1 gallon. Since the question asks for a direct equivalent measurement rather than an approximation, we look at the 1 tablespoon per gallon calculation considering fluctuation and practical dosing in the field, which is often rounded for ease of application.

Thus, rounding
