- Shoes plus socks
TANK MIX
Liquid Carriers:
Axiom(R) DF Herbicide is a dry flowable herbicide that must be mixed in water or sprayable fluid fertilizer. Compatibility of Axiom(R) or its labeled tank mix products with these liquid carriers should always be predetermined prior to spraying. Refer to the SPRAYABLE FLUID FERTILIZER COMPATIBILITY TEST (Appendix I) of this label to determine product compatibility in fluid fertilizer carriers.
Before mixing Axiom(R)and its labeled tank mixtures, examine the spray equipment making sure it is completely clean and free of rust or corrosion. Be sure the equipment is free of any residues from previously used pesticides. Flush lines with clean water or recommended detergents after the last application. Use an approved method for disposing of rinsate.
For optimal spray tank mixing convenience and efficiency, Axiom(R) is recommended to be added to the spray tank via an eductor system.
The proper mixing sequence for Axiom(R) and recommended tank mixtures with the appropriate liquid carrier is as follows:
1. Fill the spray tank or nurse tank 1/4 full with the appropriate liquid carrier.
2. Start recirculation and agitation system and continue throughout mixing and application.
3. If the compatibility test indicates the need of a compatibility agent, add the recommended amount of compatibility agent to the spray tank.
4. If ammonium sulfate is to be used, add it now.
5. Next add the recommended quantity of Axiom(R) through the eductor system or to the spray tank [slowly add Axiom(R) if water or sprayable grade nitrogen fertilizers (28-0-0, 32-0-0) are the carriers; for other sprayable grade fertilizers first check compatibility and then either mix directly or preslurry first in water depending on the results of the compatibility test].
6. If tank mixing with wettable powders or other dry flowable products in water as the carrier, they may be added now. If tank mixing these products in a sprayable grade fertilizer carrier, first preslurry these products with water and then slowly add them to any sprayable grade fertilizer carrier.
7. If tank mixing with emulsifiable concentrates or soluble products, add the products to the spray tank.
8. If tank mixing with Gramoxone Extra(R), a glyphosate- containing product or Touchdown(R), add the products to the spray tank.
9. If mixing spray adjuvants in the mixture, add them after all other products have been mixed.
10. Fill the spray tank to the desired level with the appropriate liquid carrier.
11. Continue agitation during transport and application until the spray tank is empty.
Axiom(R) and all registered mixtures should be kept agitated once mixed and then sprayed immediately. Do not allow mixtures to stand for prolonged periods of time. Water quality, pH, temperature and/or other components of the mixture may affect how long the mixture may stand before application.
Dry Fertilizer Carriers:
Axiom(R) may be impregnated or coated on dry bulk fertilizers for application. Refer to Appendix II of this label for details.
