Watch the Total Spray Droplet Management® Video Series

We believe the safety and efficacy of spray applications can be enhanced by managing factors in the tank, through the air and on the target. That’s why we developed the Total Spray Droplet Management® education series. It highlights the importance of managing spray applications to protect people and the environment while maximizing product performance.

KEY TOPICS INCLUDE:

n Agronomics

n Droplet spectrum

n Nozzle types

n System pressure

n Calibration

n Use of adjuvants

n How weather and other interactions affect applications

We are pleased to offer the Total Spray Droplet Management series with six quizzes for Continuing Education Units (CEUs). Certified Crop Advisors have the opportunity to earn .5 credit for each of the quizzes for a total of 3 credits.

Water Quality is Important – Water usually makes up more than 99% of the spray solution. Considering that, it should be no surprise that the quality of water used greatly impacts crop protection effectiveness.

pH – Water pH is a measure of the H+ ion concentration in water. As water pH decreases, it becomes more acidic and the number of H+ ions increases. Acidic conditions (pH 3 to 6) are most suitable for mixing post-emergence herbicides classified as weak acids.

Hardness – Hard water contains high levels of calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), sodium (Na), or iron (Fe). Other cations can cause hard water, but these are the usual suspects. Ca, Mg, Na, and Fe cations (positively charged ions) attach to negatively charged herbicide molecules. Often, the association between certain weak acid herbicides and these cations renders the herbicide ineffective.

Alkalinity – Alkalinity refers to carbonate and bicarbonate levels in water. Alkalinity only becomes a problem with some herbicides, like sethoxydim, when levels exceed 300 ppm.

Turbidity – Turbid water, or water containing suspended solids, soil, or organic matter can reduce effectiveness of post-emergence herbicides. Water should be clean and clear for all crop protection product applications, however, some crop protection products are not as sensitive to turbidity as others.Crop protection products are measured for their ability to bind to soil particles. This information is typically used to assess their potential for off-site movement

or leaching through the soil profile. The soil organic carbon absorption coefficient (Koc) is used to describe the binding strength of herbicides to soil. Herbicides with high Koc bind more tightly to soil particles. See table below.

Dicamba 2 No

Paraquat 1,000,000 Yes Source: James Altland, Oregon State University

The herbicide glyphosate (Roundup®, and many other brand names) and paraquat (Gramoxone®) have very high Koc values. Because of their high Koc, these herbicides will bind to soil and organic matter particles suspended in water and will not be available for absorption into leaf tissue. Comparatively, dicamba (Banvel®) has a low Koc and has been found to be relatively unaffected by suspended solids in spray water.

Did You Know?General Recommendations

It is recommended that a compatibility test be done prior to mixing any combination of crop protection products.

If using a mixing vat or inductor, make sure there is adequate agitation and a minimum of 15% of the desired finished spray volume carrier in the mixing vessel prior to diluting the crop protection products. If the mixing vessel cannot hold the required minimum volume, open the valve and add the crop protection products in the recommended order.

Mixing Sequence1. Sulfonylurea Herbicides

*Add before reducing pH, or pre-slurry in 5 gallons of water at pH 8.5-9.5, and add once completely dissolved. Use 2-4 oz of household ammonia in 5 gallons of water to raise pH to desired level.

2. Compatibility Agents and Defoamers (Convert™/Gundown Elite™, Knockdown™)

Don’t Plug Your SprayerCorrect Mixing Order and Procedures Increase Productivity, Reduce Risk.Compatibility problems can cost applicators a lot of time and money — in wasted product, spraying time due to plugged sprayers and even lost customers — when the job isn’t done correctly.

The Root of the ProblemBefore glyphosate-resistant weeds began to emerge it was not uncommon for applicators to mix water-soluble liquids like glyphosate and surfactant together in an inductor or mixing vat with little or no water, and with little or no problems. But times are changing. More glyphosate-resistant weeds means more tank mixing with tank-mix partners that aren’t water-soluble, leading to compatibility problems.

The two leading causes of incompatibility problems are:

1) Little or no water to dilute crop protection products when using a mixing vat or inductor cone2) Improper mixing sequence

Mixing Vats and Inductor ConesAre you creating a new crop protection formulation? When combining undiluted crop protection products and adjuvants in a mixing vat or inductor cone that’s what you’re doing. These new “combinations” were not formulated to be together, undiluted, so they often begin to gel or salt out quickly. The good news is they usually rinse out of the mixing vat or inductor cone easily. The bad news is you’ve now transferred the problem to your sprayer, leading to plugged screens, lines and nozzles.

The Mixing Vat Solution If you’re going to use a mixing vat or inductor you have two options to avoid tank mixing problems:

1) Add enough water to the mixing vat or inductor cone to dilute your tank mix partners. This is usually no less than 10-15% of the entire volume of the anticipated spray load. Example: 1,000 gallon load requires an inductor cone or mixing vat that can hold 100-150 gallons of water.

2) If your mixing vat will not hold the appropriate levels of water, then you should open the valve and add products individually in the proper mixing order. Follow each product with a water rinse before adding the next.

Improper Mixing Sequence Even a slight change in mixing order makes a huge difference in product efficacy and compatibility. Something as simple as reversing the mixing order between a flowable (F) herbicide, like atrazine, and an emulsifiable concentrate (EC), like 2,4-D, can cause a cottage cheese-type consistency that will plug sprayers. Other mixing errors increase the amount of residue and buildup on the interior sidewalls of the sprayer’s tank leading to longer cleanout times and the increased risk of cross contamination.

Fixing the Mixing SequenceMake sure that you add products in the correct order. Most crop protection product labels state a preferred mixing sequence. If you’re still not sure, simply conduct a small compatibility test to verify the mixing order that produces the most stable tank mix. Directions for conducting compatibility tests can be found on crop protection labels. If you want to learn more about proper mixing order, watch the compatibility video on our YouTube channel.

Stable tank mixes form milky emulsions, like those in the container on the left in the photo above. When using liquid nitrogen as a carrier, the addition of compatibility agents, like Convert™, can prevent tank mixes from quickly separating and leaving residues trapped inside the tank. Convert can reduce the risk of cross contamination and lower levels of weed control.
