Mixing Procedures and Safety
- Put on protective equipment, including chemical-resistant gloves, long sleeves, and safety glasses.
- Fill a clean pump sprayer or tank halfway with fresh, clean water.
- Measure the required amount of concentrate using a dedicated measuring cup or cylinder.
- Pour the concentrate into the water and stir or shake the container gently to initiate mixing.
- Add the remaining water to reach the desired total volume and agitate the tank again.
Usage and Storage Tips
Apply the mixture during active growth phases for the best results. Avoid spraying when wind speeds are high to prevent drifting onto desirable plants or crops. Store the original concentrate in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight and freezing temperatures. Do not store diluted mixtures in the sprayer for more than 24 hours, as the chemical may lose its potency or damage the equipment seals over time.
