    Applications & Uses

    Application Technique
    Mixing Instructions

    Before mixing this product with the pesticide of choice, it is recommended that a compatibility test be done in a small (1 quart) container to determine if the components of the spray tank are compatible. Refer to the label of the tank-mix partner for any additional use instructions or precautions. Always follow the most restrictive label.

    Add pesticides and/or fertilizers as directed by label or in the following sequence:

    1. Micronutrients and fertilizers
    2. Dry flowables and dispersible granules
    3. Flowables
    4. Water-soluble concentrates
    5. Emulsifiable concentrates

    Continue agitation and add this product and mix for 1 to 2 minutes with lower than normal agitation. Continue filling tank, maintaining minimal agitation.

    Add two-thirds the amount of water to the spray tank and begin agitation. If foaming is anticipated, the addition of an anti-foaming agent should be added before pesticides, nutrients or this product.

    Direction For Use

    Spray mixes containing this product should be applied within 36 hours after mixing. Crop and rate guidelines are for use with pesticides whose labels recommend the use of a non-ionic surfactant. Some pesticides may require higher or lower surfactant rates for optimum effect. Follow the pesticide label directions when this occurs.

    Applications should be made to ensure thorough coverage without excessive runoff of the application spray.
