The following are useful conversion factors for small measurements of fertilizers, pesticides, or growth regulators when using backpack or small scale sprayers or application equipment.

Volume
1 gallon (gal) = 128 fluid ounces (fl oz)
1 fl oz = 30 milliliters (ml)
1 gal = 3785 ml = 3.785 liters
1 cup = 48 teaspoons
1 tablespoon = 3 teaspoons
1 fl oz = 2 tablespoons = 6 teaspoons

Weight
1 ounce (oz) = 28.3 grams (g)
1 pound (lb) = 16 oz = 454 g

Concentration
1% = 10,000 ppm
1 ppm = 1 milligram (mg) per liter
