I think 1 quart of 4% glyphosate makes a 1% solution (sold in every garden store) in 10 gallons of water.

Usually its figured for a soil test that 1 ppm is 2 pounds per acre based on half a foot of soil being 2 million pounds, in rough figures, so 4.4 million pounds for a foot is about right.

Spreading oil contaminated soil out to evaporate the oil/gasoline is a standard procedure. A local hydraulics factory spilled some test or cutting oil and spent years in their back lot spreading and stirring.

What's wilder than 1 pound per four million pounds is some of the magic juices that take a quart to the acre have so little special ingredient by the MSDS that the quart appears cleaner than some well water. Yet those milligrams of magic ingredient are going to result in many bushels of extra crop.
