TANK MIXES:
Tank mixing or use of this product with any other product which is not specifically and expressly authorized by the label shall be the exclusive risk of user, applicator, and/or application advisor. Read and follow the most restrictive label instructions and precautions of all products in a tank mix.
APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
This may be applied using ground equipment sprayers, hand-held sprayers, power sprayers, foggers, ULV applicators, or by chemigation.
Not for use in outdoor residential misting systems.
SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT
Avoiding spray drift at the application site is the responsibility of the applicator and the grower. The interactions of many equipment and weather-related factors determine the potential for spray drift. The applicator and the grower are responsible for considering all these factors when making decisions.
Aerial Applications
Do not apply at wind speeds greater than 10 mph at the application site. Do not make any type of application into temperature inversions. Apply as a medium or coarser spray (ASABE Standard 572). Do not release spray at a height greater than 10 feet above the ground or crop canopy. Boom length must not exceed 75% of the wingspan or 90% of the rotor blade diameter. Aerial applicators must consider airspeed and nozzle orientation in determining droplet size. When applications are made with a cross-wind, the swath will be displaced downwind. The applicator must compensate for this downwind displacement at the downwind edge of the application area by adjusting the path of the aircraft upwind.
Ground Applications
Do not release spray at a height greater than 4 feet above ground or crop canopy.
Airblast Applications
Direct spray into the canopy. Turn off outward-pointing nozzles when spraying row ends, and when spraying outer rows.
Use this product as an additive to insecticides or acaracides applied according to label directions on growing food, feed, or, seed crops outdoors, or in greenhouses, or on dormant crops.

Flea infestation under control
By Russell on 07/10/2020
Great product. I added it to permethrin sfr, pivot 10 and bifenthrin to get fleas under control. Definitely is working just have to repeat spray on about 10 -14 days. I have dogs. The PBO allows me to use a lower concentration and keep potency. Safer for the animals and deadly for bugs This is my goto solution. I do prefer TEKKO Pro with the dual IGR.

I see that this may be used with air blast sprayers or power sprayers, but then I see the statement "Do not release spray at a height greater than 10 feet above the ground." This concerns me. I am also concerned about phytotoxicity and how well this synergist will work with microcap versus EC formulations.
That is correct, according to the product label, Prentox PBO-8 Synergist cannot be applied higher than 10 feet above the ground or crop canopy, so if the application you need to do requires application above that height limit then I would reconsider using this product. The Phytotoxicity Notice on the product states, "Prior to tank mixing, do a compatibility test using the proper proportions of pesticide, synergist and water to ensure physical compatibility of the mixture. Mix at a rate of 2 to 8 fl. oz. of this product per acre, based on the amount of active ingredient. In the absence of specific data or prior experience on growing crops and ornamentals (outdoors, in greenhouses or indoors), test tank mixes on a small sample of the plants to be treated prior to use and observe for any phytotoxic injury."
You can use Prentox PBO-8 Synergist with a wide variety of insecticides, including encapsulated products. There are suggested rates on page 5 of the product label.
