General Information

• BUFFER P.S.™is a spreader-buffering agent designed to adjust the pH of alkaline waters andminimize hydrolysis of pesticides which tend to decompose in alkaline spray solutions.BUFFER P.S.™also has the properties of a wetter/spreader surfactant and compatibilityagent. BUFFER P.S.™can positively affect pesticide spray application and pesticide efficacy.
• Do not apply this product in such a manner as to directly or through drift expose workers orother persons. Do not spray pesticides if conditions of thermal inversion exist, or if winddirection and speed may cause drift onto adjacent areas. With both aerial and groundapplications, the use of a drift control or spray deposition additive (in accordance withpesticide(s) label(s) directions) may reduce the potential for drift to occur. Drift minimization isthe responsibility of the applicator. Consult your local and state agricultural authorities forinformation regarding avoiding or minimizing spray drift.
