I haven"t grown AG's for a few years so I had to pick up another pesticide for my rotation.My main product is Talstar with Merit as a systemic.I purchased Demand CS but the concentration per gallon was a bit confusing.I calculated that I would add 6cc per gallon of water.This is in a backyard patch so this is small scale.Is this the right mixture? I appreciate the advice!

Not an expert and just helping with what I read with 'Demand CS per gallon':
'Here's a more detailed breakdown:
Light infestations, maintenance, or general crawling pests: Use 0.2 fl oz (6 mL) of Demand CS per gallon of water, according to DoMyOwn.
Moderate infestations: Use 0.4 fl oz (12 mL) of Demand CS per gallon of water.
Severe infestations, clean-out applications, or for pests like scorpions and spiders: Use 0.8 fl oz (24 mL) of Demand CS per gallon of water.'

It is also quite harmful to bees upon their contacting it.
I wish they'd do all of the measurements when making a label.
(oz., ml, tsp, g, etc.)

Thank you!I wanted to doublecheck my measurements before application since I was not familiar with Demand as much as Talstar
