It could also be interpreted to mean one fiftieth part in the final mix.
Hardly, that is not how it is written. Instead of writing 50:1 it could
be written as 50 parts to 1 part, or 50 measures to 1 measure.
If they meant that 50 was the total measure, they would write it as
49:1. The total volume is not mentioned and doesn't really matter,
unless space is limited in the mixing tank.
And yet, even Husqvarna describe a 50:1 mix as 2%.

But it is 2% to the degree of precision required. Indeed, it would be
2.0% to two significant figures.
