Application Technique
Use Information

MIX is used to achieve stability and compatibility of pesticide(s) in solution with various liquid fertilizers and/or water. This product also improves the compatibility of micronutrients in liquid fertilizer solutions. Used as directed, this product improves the compatibility of liquid fertilizer – pesticide and aqueous pesticide mixtures. Uniform and stable mixtures ensure accurate pesticide applications with a minimum of agitation.

Direction For Use

METHOD 1: Add two-thirds of the required fertilizer to a spray tank. Add required amount of this product to liquid fertilizer and begin agitation. Add the required amount of pesticide with the agitator running. Fill spray tank with the remaining volume of liquid fertilizer and continue agitation until contents are thoroughly mixed.

METHOD 2: Add two-thirds of the required fertilizer to a spray tank. Prepare a pre-mix of the desired pesticide(s) in 2 to 3 parts water and the desired amount of this product. Add the pre-mix to the fertilizer with agitator running and fill the spray tank with the remaining volume of liquid fertilizer and thoroughly mix.

High nitrogen fertilizers generally require low concentrations of this product. Medium phosphate or phosphate/potassium solutions usually will require medium to high concentrations of this product. High phosphate fertilizers will require high concentrations of this product.

The use of this product will vary with the type of liquid fertilizer and pesticide used. Therefore, a jar test is recommended using proportional quantities of the components to determine the stability of the spray tank-mixture.

Compatibility Test: Into 1 gallon liquid fertilizer, add 1 to 4 teaspoons of this product and stir contents thoroughly. Add the appropriate amount of pesticide to the 1 gallon of liquid fertilizer, mix thoroughly and observe the stability of the solution. Stability for 5 to 10 minutes usually indicates a sufficient amount of this product was added. Eight teaspoons of pesticide to 1 gallon of liquid fertilizer approximates 1 gallon of pesticide to 100 gallons of liquid fertilizer in the field. One teaspoon per gallon approximates 1 pint per 100 gallons.
