5 Key Steps When Matching Adjuvants With Herbicides

Matching an adjuvant to a herbicide mix and combining them properly takes planning, say CHS Agronomy technical specialists Corey Klaphake and Devin Wirth. They advise taking the following steps.

1. Read labels carefully and always follow label directions.
2. Only use approved adjuvants for your chosen herbicide(s).
3. Check the amount of each product in the mix and the mixing order to ensure physical compatibility, solubility and pH.
4. Run a compatibility test to ensure your adjuvant choice(s) and herbicide(s) work together. Remember, this will only point out whether they mix well, not whether the combination will hurt efficacy or crop safety.
5. Ask an expert for help to ensure you are getting the most value from your crop protection investment.
