Mix with insecticide

Hi can we mix insecticide with Primo to save time?

Answer:

Primo MAXX Plant Growth Regulator + Tank Mixtures: When mixing Primo MAXX with other components (carrier and tank mix pesticide products) add the products to the spray tank using the following procedure:   
1. Always check the compatibility of the tank mix using a jar test with proportionate amounts of Primo MAXX, other products to be used, and the water before mixing in the spray tank. Use a clear glass quart jar with lid and mix the tank mix ingredients in their relative proportions. Invert the jar containing the mixture several times and observe the mixture for approximately 1/2 hour. If mixture balls-up, forms flakes, sludges, gels, oily films or layers, or precipitates, it is not compatible. Do not use the combination in a tank mix.
 
2. Fill tank at least 1/2 full of water.
 
3. Maintain sufficient agitation during filling to keep the tank mix uniformly suspended Do not mix Primo MAXX with any product which prohibits such mixing. Do not exceed any label application rate and follow the most restrictive label precautions and limitations. Refer to the tank mix partner label(s) for further information.
 
4. Add all products packaged in water-soluble bags first. Allow the packages to dissolve and the contents to completely disperse into the mix water. Then add water-dispersible granules (WG formulations) while maintaining agitation in the mix tank. Next, add wettable powders (WP formulations). Allow the products to disperse completely before other products are added.
 
5. Add emulsifiable concentrates (EC).
 
6. Add flowable liquids (FL) or suspension concentrates (SC).
 
7. Add Primo MAXX.
 
8. Add spray adjuvants and spray markers. Use surfactants approved for application to turf. Check the surfactant label before use.
 
9. Add the remainder of the water. 
 
10. Do not leave tank mix combinations in the spray tank for prolonged periods without agitation. Mix and apply all of the spray solution on the same day.
 
Note: Do not mix Primo MAXX with any product that prohibits such mixing. Do not exceed any label application rate and follow the most restrictive label precautions and limitations. Refer to the tank mix partner label(s) for further information. SPECIFIC USE DIRECT
