ADVOCATE is a plant biostimulant which can improve the rooting of plant cuttings for plant propagation

  • ADVOCATE can be tank mixed and applied with other products (fertilizers, fungicides, biostimulants, plant growth regulators, etc.) to improve plant health and early growth. All possible combinations of the various products with ADVOCATE have not been tested. As such, perform a test mix of the materials to be used in the tank mix with ADVOCATE, as shown in the Compatibility section below, to evaluate compatibility of the mixture prior to preparing a larger amount for application in the field. Failure to do so could result in crop injury or lack of performance.
  • Tank mixes of ADVOCATE and other products as noted above must be mixed thoroughly and applied within 1 day of mixing. Agitation must be maintained to assure proper dispersal of the ADVOCATE in the tank mix.
  • Apply ADVOCATE utilizing properly calibrated application equipment. Failure to do so may result in an improper application to the crop which could result in injury to the crop or lack of performance.
  • Clean spray equipment thoroughly using a strong detergent or commercial sprayer cleaner according to the manufacturer’s directions before and after applying ADVOCATE.
  • This product cannot be used to formulate or reformulate any other pesticide product.
