Here is some good information from UGA Extension Weed Scients Dr. Eric Prostko. He performed a few tank mixes for us as well as answered some common questions:<\/p>\n

1) Can I tank-mix Prowl EC and Prowl H20?<\/p>\n

<\/u><\/strong> I have never have done that in my research plots but I recently did 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.<\/em><\/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><\/em><\/p>\n

I have never done that either in my research plots but I did 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.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

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

a) Water soluble bags (WSB)<\/em>
\n b) Water soluble granules (WSG)<\/em>
\n c) Water dispersible granules (WG, XP, DF)<\/em>
\n d) Wettable powders (WP)<\/em>
\n e) Water based suspension concentrates\/aqueous flowables (SC, F)<\/em>
\n f) Water soluble concentrates (SL)<\/em>
\n g) Suspoemulsions (SE)<\/em>
\n h) Oil-based suspension concentrates (OD)<\/em>
\n i) Emulsifiable concentrates (EC)<\/em>
\n j) Surfactants, oils, adjuvants<\/em>
\n k) Soluble fertilizers<\/em>
\n l) Drift retardants<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0There is an app called Mix-Tank<\/b> (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?<\/em><\/p>\n

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

a) Add 1\/2 of the required amount of clean water into the spray tank<\/em>
\n b) Start up and maintain tank agitation<\/em>
\n c) Add NIS<\/em>
\n d) Add Reflex<\/em>
\n e) Add Gramoxone<\/em>
\n f) Add remaining amount of clean water<\/em>
\n
\n<\/b> 5) How do I mix Atrazine and Halex GT?<\/u><\/b><\/em><\/p>\n

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