Always predetermine the compatibility of this product or labeled mixtures of this product with water carrier or sprayable fluid fertilizer carrier by mixing small proportional quantities in advance. See the ~~STANDARD SPRAYABLE FLUID FERTILIZER COMPATIBILITY TEST" section in this label to determine the compatibility of this product and labeled tank mixtures recol!llIiended Ior use with sprayablef~uid fertilizer carrier. NOTE: Reduced results may occur if muddy water is used, such as water from ponds or ditches. Mix this product or labeled tank mixture of this product with the appropriate .carrier as follows: .. 1. 2. 3. Place a 20 to 35-mesh screen or wetting basket over filling port. Through the screen, fill the sprayer tank one-half full with the appropriate carrier. If a compatibility agent is necessary to improve mixing or to prevent the formation of undesirable and unsprayable gels or precipitates, while agitating add it to the carrier already 1n the tank. Use only compat1.bi+it y agents cleared by FDA Ior this use. Read and follow all d1rection for use, cautionary statements and all other information appearing on the se+ect~d compatibility agent label. Check for adequate ag1tat1on. 4. Add tank mix components. If a wettable powder is used, make a slurry with water, and add it SLOWLY through the screen into the tank. continue agitation. 5. 6. If flowable herbicides are used L add slowly through screen into the tank. Mixing and compa~ibility may be improved when flowable is preJllixed one part flowable with one part water. Add diluted mixture SLOWLY through the screen into the tank. Premix one part of this product with one part water. Add diluted mixture SLOWLY through the screen into the tank. Complete filling the sprayer tank with water. Remove hose from tank immed1ately to avoid siphoning back into the water source. Maintain gooa agitation at all times until the contents of the tank are sprayed. Maintain good aqitation at all times until the contents of the tank are sprayed. NOTE: If spray mixture is allowed to settle at any time, th9rough agitation is required to resuspend the mixture beIore spray1ng 1S resumed. Keep bypass l1ne on or near bottom of tank to min1mize foaming. Screen S1ze in nozzle or line strainers should be no finer than 50 mesh. Carefully select proper nozzle 10 .. ' ~ to avoid spraying a fine mist. Check for even distribution of spray droplets. For best results with ground application equipment, use flat fan or whirl-chamber nozzle. To reduce loss of chemical due to drift of a fine mist, apply at pressures less than 40 psi. STANDARD SPRAYABLB PLUID PERTILIZER COMPATIBILITY TEST Herbicides may not always mix evenly throughout a sprayable fluid fertilizer or the components may separatetQo quickly to make their combined use of practical value. This may be due to certain characteristics of the different fluid fertilizers. A simple test using small quantities of the components is suggested to provide compatibility potential.The test follows: A. Materials Required Por A compatibility Test 1. Two one-quart jars with lid or stopper (marked "with" and "without") . 2. TEAspoonS. (for a more exacting test, a five to ten milliliter (mI.) pipette or graduated cylinder is desirable) • 3. Sprayable fluid fertilizer to be tested. 4. The herbicide chemicals to be mixed. 5. A compatibility agent (the purpose of the adjuvant is to help keep the fertilizer and crop protection chemical in ) suspension, if this assistance is needed). B. Procedure 1. Add one pint of the sprayable fluid fertilizer that will be used or other herbicide carrier to each jar marked "with" and "without". WITH Add One Pint Liquid Fertilizer To Two Quart Jars. :;::: "..' WITHOUT 2. To the jar marked "with", add 1/4 TEAspoon or 1.2 milliliters of a suitable compatibility agent; shake gently for five to ten seconds to mix. (1/4 Teaspoon in one pint is the equivalent of two pints per 100 gallons of liquid fertilizer.) 11 ~~~--------==~- ) WITH To Jar Marked "With" Add Compatibility Agent And Shake to Mix. WITHOUT 3. To each jar add the appropriate amount of herbicide(s). If more tilan one is used, add them separately with the wettable powders or dry flowables added first, flowables second and liquid last. Shake gently five to,. ten seconds after each addition. WITH HERBICIDE Wettable Powders· or Dry Flowables HERBICIDE emulsifiable Concentrates Flowables or Liquids or Solutions or Add Herbicide(s) To Both Jars And shake to Mix. . Amount to Be Added Per pint Of Sprayable Fluid Fertilizer (Assuming Volume is 25 gal/A) RATE/A Level TEAspoons J. lb. = 1.5 2 lb. = 3 3 lb. = 4.5 4 lb. = 6 5 lb. = 7.5 Level RATE/A TEAspoons Milliliters J. pint 0.5 or 2.4 J. quart = J. or 4.7 2 quarts = 2 or 9.5 3 quarts = 3 or J.4.2 J. gallon = 4 or J.9.0 5 quarts = 5 or 23-.8 WITHOUT This compatibility test is designed for 25 gallons of spray per acre with the maximum labeled rate of herbicide. For change~ in 12 ) ) spray volume or herbicide rate, make appropriate changes in the ingredients of the test. Regardless of spray volume, the amount of compatibility agent should be equal to two or three pints (two pints = 1/4 TEAspoon or 1.2 milliliters, three pints = 3/8 TEAspoon or 1.8 milliliters per pint of sprayable fluid fertilizer) per 100 gallons of liquid fertilizer. c. Observlltions and Decisions 1. If the herbicide(s) and the sprayable fluid fertilizer are compatible. 2. If a compatibility age~t is necessary. Five minutes after the final addition and mixing, observe both jars for the formation of large flakes, sludge, gels or other precipitates. Observe if the herbicide(s) cannot be physically mixed with the liquid f~rtilizer but remains as small oily particles in the solution. If incompatibility in any form described above_Qccursin the jar "with" the compatibility agent added, the liquid fertilizer and the herbicide(s) should not be used together in the same spray tank. If incompatibility as described above occurs in the jar "without" the adjuvant but not in the jar "with" adjuvant, the use of a compatibility adjuvant is recommended. Both jars should be allowed to stand and be observed periodically for one-half hour. If the separate layers of ,liquid fertilizer and additives can be resuspended by shaking, commercial application is possible. An emulsifiable concentrate normally will go to the top after standing; wettable powders will either settle to the bottom of the tank or jar, or float to the top, depending upon the density of the fertilizers. If the herbicide(s) is compatible with fluid fertilizer in the foregoing test without having to use a compatibility agent, fluid fertilizer may be used for the premixing. If it is not compatible without the compatibility agent, the herbicide(s) should be premixed ,lith water before adding to the spray tank.
