Cant use this automatic Spinosad bottle.

I received imy 32 ounce bottle this morning and after scratching my head for half an hour i was no further forward, in fact i still cant see how to fit the hose pipe ha ha. Now i find i am not allowed to use the hose pipe anyway so could anyone tell me how much of the liquid i should add to a 1 liter bottle, then i will just spray by hand as normal.I don't really understand fluid ounces and gallons and the instructions aren't that easy to follow.
I read before that the 16ounce and the 32 ounce are the same so does it say what measures to use when doing it by hand when you get the 16 ounce bottle?

Hi David,

This type of sprayer is available in the US for several pesticides and is intended to make it easy to spray. The key is the garden hoses available to you. The spinsad bottle fits onto the standard hose size in the US. The threads are matched so all you do is screw the spinosad bottle onto the end of the hose. Turn on the water and the right amount of spinosad is mixed into the water as the water passes out of the hose, into the bottle, and then out of the bottle. You point the bottle sprayer toward the plants and a light spray of spinosad and water comes out which covers the leaves of the plants.

If the garden hoses available to you in Vietnam are not the right size then the spray bottle cannot be attached to them. I wonder if adapters are available. Anyway, you can mix the concentrated spinosad that is in the bottle into your own sprayer with the right amount of water.

To use the spinosad in your own sprayer shake well, then mix 15 ml of the concentrate from the bottle into 1 liter of water. Spray onto foliage and buds once or twice per week until the problem is gone.
