❑ W– Water or fluid fertilizer go into the tank before anything else. Fill tank at least 1/4 full and start ‘rolling’ agitation.

❑ W– WSPs go into clean water before any other products.❑ W– Next add WPs.❑ W– Add WDGs.❑ A – Maintain agitation during the mixing/spraying

process. Allow each product to mix before adding new materials.

❑ L – Add Flowable (F), Suspension Concentrates (SC), Suspoemulsions (SE), or Soluble Liquids (SL).

❑ E – Add Emulsifiable Concentrates (EC).❑ Complete filling of the tank with carrier.❑ Lastly, add any surfactants such as NIS (when required

by the label).❑ Maintain agitation until all of the solution has been sprayed.

For the Correct MixingProcedures, remember

WWW-WALEUsing the correct mixing order is crucial when working with multiple chemicals, fertilizers and adjuvants. Remembering the WWW-WALE procedure for adding chemicals to the spray tanks is the first step to ensure your agricultural products are applied correctly. Other factors to consider for maximum effectiveness of your chemical applications are proper sprayer calibration and environmental conditions during the time of application. If you have any reason to be concerned about compatibility, do a jar test before starting the mixing operation, and always consult the product label.

31

• Read the label!• Mixing and spray equipment should be clean.

• Use new spray mix with caution; use a jar test to test for compatibility.• Check spray water pH, add acidifying agent if necessary.

• Pre-dissolve (slurry) pesticides if necessary.• Avoid spraying under conditions that will cause drift.

• When compatibility agents must be used, put them into the tank beforeany agrochemicals.

• When spraying foliar mixtures, surfactants and/or COC are added lastto the tank.

• ‘Nurse’ tanks must have agitation systems.

The Basics of Spraying

Additional Tips

Mixing Flexstar or Reflex and Glyphosate Formulations

This is to communicate information about the known incompatibility of Flexstar® or Reflex® plus glyphosate formulations, and recommendations for managing this issue. The table below describes Flexstar or Reflex plus glyphosate mixes that should be compatible if the mixing parameters outlined in the table are followed. Flexstar or Reflex + glyphosate + spray additive combinations other than those listed below may be incompatible.

Product Tank Partner Spray Additive* Minimum GPA

* Plus or minus AMS

Avoid the following tank mixes due to known incompatibility: Reflex + Touchdown HiTech Reflex + Roundup Original Max Reflex + Roundup Weather Max

Mixing Order: 1. Fill spray tank ¾ full with clean water.2. Begin tank agitation and continue throughout mixing and spraying.3. Add AMS (if used).4. Add dry formulations (WP, DF, etc.) to tank.5. Add liquid formulations (Flexstar or Reflex) to tank.6. Add glyphosate formulation.7. Add nonionic surfactant or wetting agent (if used).8. Fill remainder of spray tank.

Ammonia Fix if Incompatibility (Precipitate) Occurs: If Reflex or Flexstar + glyphosate have been mixed together and a precipitate forms in the spray tank, add ammonia (household) to the spray tank at a concentration of 2% of the total tank volume to remove the precipitate.

Additional Recommendations: 1. In all cases, it is best to mix and spray out immediately. Adhere to the recommendations above if solution is

left overnight.2. It is recommended that spray volumes of 15 GPA or greater be utilized. The recommended minimum spray

volume is 10 GPA; at spray volumes less than 10 GPA there is more chance of incompatibility.

This document is intended to provide guidance regarding sprayer setup for Halex® GT applications and for those situations where Halex GT is tank mixed with another product (e.g. AAtrex® herbicide, atrazine).

Recommended Halex GT Sprayer Setup 50 mesh in-line strainer(s) 50 mesh screens at nozzleMinimum of 10 GPA – best for compatibility, spray coverage and performanceUse water only as the carrier

Halex GT Mixing Order Recommendation When adding products to the spray tank, make sure each product is added separately and thoroughly agitated before adding the next product.

1. Fill tank 1/3 to 1/2 full of clean water and start agitation2. Add ammonium sulfate (AMS)3. Add nonionic surfactant (NIS)4. Add atrazine – make sure atrazine is fully dispersed before other products are added to the mix5. Add Halex GT6. Add EC products (e.g. insecticides) last. Be aware that adding any EC type product will increase

the risk for crop injury7. Fill tank with water to the desired level

If using an induction tank, add only one product at a time. For example, add water, then add atrazine to the induction tank and transfer to spray tank, rinse induction tank with water, then add Halex GT.

Syngenta Crop Protection, Inc. does not recommend the use of compatibility agents with Halex GT. When used, compatibility agents have been shown to cause excessive crop injury.

Use Recommendations Apply Halex GT at a rate of 3.6 – 4.0 pts./A.Add NIS at 1.0 – 2.0 qts./100 gallons of waterAdd AMS at 8.5 – 17.0 lbs./100 gallons of waterHalex GT is only for post-emergence use in glyphosate-tolerant corn (Agrisure® GT and Round-

up Ready® hybrids). Optimum post-emergence application timing is before weeds reach four inches in height. If weeds are greater than four inches in height or resistant or suspected to be resistant to glyphosate,

Halex GT should be tank mixed with either AAtrex® 4L herbicide or AAtrex® Nine-O™ herbicide (see label for rates).

Notes:

1. Do not allow mixtures to sit for an extended period without agitation.

2. Omit AMS if glyphosate is omitted from this combination.

3. It is recommended to conduct a jar test when adding foliar fertilizers to this combination.

4. If a loaded glyphosate is used, NIS can be omitted.

This sheet is intended to provide a recommended tank-mix order of addition for physical tank-mix

compatibility. In cases where local practice or knowledge indicates that alternative orders of addition will work,

they may be used. We recommend a jar test be carried out, prior to using tank-mix partners that have not been

used before, in the local water to be used for the large-scale spray operation, and at rates and spray volume that

are proportional to the field use rates of the products in the tank-mixture.
