Tank-Mixing by Dr. Prostko<\/h3>\n

Tank-mixing pesticides can be rather complicated especially when numerous products will be mixed.\u00a0 Here are a few questions and answers based upon some recent inquiries that I have received:
\n
\n<\/b>1) Can I tank-mix Prowl EC and Prowl H20?<\/u><\/b><\/p>\n

I have never have done this in my research plots but I recently conducted a small tank-mix test (Figure 1).\u00a0 With good agitation, I did not observe any problems.\u00a0 Do not mix these two herbicides together before putting in water.\u00a0 They should be put in spray tank (already filled with water) separately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

\n<\/u><\/b>2) Can I tank-mix dry and liquid Valor formulations together in a spray tank?<\/u><\/b><\/p>\n

I have never done this either in my research plots but I conducted another small tank-mix test (Figure 2).\u00a0 With good agitation, I did not observe any problems.\u00a0 Remember, it is always a good idea to pre-slurry dry formulations in water before dumping into a large spray tank.<\/p>\n

3)\u00a0 When tank-mixing various pesticides, what is the correct mixing order?\u00a0<\/u>\u00a0<\/b>
\n
\n<\/b>The general formulation science mixing order is as follows:<\/p>\n

a) water soluble bags (WSB)
\nb) water soluble granules (WSG)
\nc) water dispersible granules (WG, XP, DF)
\nd) wettable powders (WP)
\ne) water based suspension concentrates\/aqueous flowables (SC, F)
\nf) water soluble concentrates (SL)
\ng) suspoemulsions (SE)
\nh) oil-based suspension concentrates (OD)
\ni) emulsifiable concentrates (EC)
\nj) surfactants, oils, adjuvants
\nk) soluble fertilizers
\nl) drift retardants<\/p>\n

For those Millennials out there that sleep with their cell phones taped to their head or hands, there is an app called\u00a0Mix-Tank<\/i><\/b>\u00a0(Precision Laboratories) that you might find useful (https:\/\/www.mixtankapp.com\/<\/a>). There might be some other apps out there that I am not yet aware of?<\/p>\n

4) How do I mix Reflex and Gramoxone?<\/u><\/b><\/p>\n

a) add 1\/2 of the required amount of clean water into the spray tank
\nb) start up and maintain tank agitation
\nc) add NIS
\nd) add Reflex
\ne) add Gramoxone
\nf) add remaining amount of clean water
\n
\n<\/b>5) How do I mix Atrazine and Halex GT?<\/u><\/b><\/p>\n

a) add 1\/2 of the required amount of clean water into the spray tank and start\/maintain agitation
\nb) add AMS (**only if water quality sample indicates need<\/u><\/i><\/b>)
\nc) add NIS
\nd) add atrazine (make sure atrazine is fully dispersed before adding other products)
\ne) add Halex GT
\nf) add remaining amount of clean water<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
