ha = hectare

1 ha = 10,000 square meters
so use .1 kg or 100 grams for a 1,000 sq meters

1 kg = 35.27 oz
1 ha = 107,639 sq ft
so use 3.3 oz for 1,000 sq ft

so if your patch is 1,000 sq ft then you want to add 3.3 oz to your sprayer... and use however much water that it normally takes you to spray 1,000 sq ft.
if you don't know then do a test spray of your patch with just plant water to see how many gallons it takes ...

how big is your patch ?

the rate is not a per gallon amount it is per area amount.

you have 1800 sq ft ... so you need to apply 6 oz to your entire patch.

it doesn't matter if that 6 oz is in 1, 2, 5 or 10 gallons so long as it all used up and applied evenly (as best as you can).
