I believe the label says 1 1/2 tsp of non ionic surfact per gallon.
That's 7 Tbsp or 3.5 fluid ounces.

What are you spraying?

Usually the label is your best source of truth on these things.

I use the very fragile "Glug" measurement system for Surfactants. 1.23674 glugs is good. So is 2.87546 glugs. You get the idea.

I’m a glugger as well and things have seemed to work out.

Sure could use some rain!

Same here. Surfactant additions aren't exactly what I'd call exacting.

Us? We could do with an evening out of the rainfall, thank you. Nine inches in the last week means any more means severe flooding.

Send it my way, we are in a drought and hard to keep up.

Ditto on the glug. Add a few ounces-ish when I fill my sprayers
