DEFOAMING: Squirt directly onto foam that has already foamed. Stop agitation then add enough Farm General® Defoamer Antifoaming Agent to get rid of foam.
ANTIFOAMING: Add Farm General® Defoamer Antifoaming Agent after the first ingredient. Do not add to dry tank or before the addition of water. Some tank mix partners create more foam than others.

and amount of agitation will increase or decrease the amount of control needed.
