Advantages

Compatibility

BRANDT® 719 SPREADER is compatible with most pesticides, however it will break down when mixed with highly acidic (below pH 4) or highly alkaline (above pH 9) chemicals, which may result in poor wetting and spray coverage. If the desired combination has not been previously used, a compatibility test is recommended.

NOTE: Do not use BRANDT® 719 SPREADER in spray tank mixes with gibberellin or gibberellic acid products to be used on any citrus crop grown for fresh market.

Applications and use

Mixing

  • Fill spray tank 3/4 full of water and begin agitation. If foaming is expected, use an antifoaming agent, such as BRANDT ORGANICS DEFOAMER.
  • Then add products as directed by label or in the following sequence and continue filling tank: (1) Dry flowables or water dispersing granules, (2) Wettable powders, (3) Flowables, (4) Solutions, (5) Emulsifiable concentrates.
  • Continue agitation until spray solution is completely mixed. Add the recommended amount of BRANDT 719 SPREADER. Minimal agitation of finished spray is recommended.
  • For optimum results, use the spray solution within 36 hours after mixing. If spray solution has been allowed to stand, thoroughly agitate and remix before application.
