- AGRICULTURAL, FORESTRY, INDUSTRIAL, MUNICIPAL, NON-CROPLAND, ORNAMENTAL, RIGHTS-OF-WAY, TURF AND AQUATIC APPLICATIONS. (NOT FOR AQUATIC USES IN CALIFORNIA OR WASHINGTON)
- The addition of an adjuvant to some pesticides or pesticide tank mix combinations may cause phytotoxicity to the foliage and/or fruit of susceptible crops. Prior to the addition of GROUNDED®-W to spray tank mixes or prior to the use of GROUNDED®-W with a pesticide or fertilizer where an oil concentrate adjuvant is not specifically recommended but not prohibited by the manufacturer, the user or application advisor must have experience with the combination or must have conducted a phytotoxicity trial.
- GROUNDED®-W may be applied by Ground, CDA, Aerial or Aquatic spray equipment. In most cases, use enough GROUNDED®-W to allow for uniform wetting and deposition of the spray onto leaf surfaces without runoff.
- GROUND, AERIAL, LOW VOLUME, CDA
- Use 4-8 pints per 100 gallons of spray solution or 0.50-1.00% v/v concentration.
- NOTE
- The above use recommendations are considered to be adequate for most uses. Some pesticides, however, may require higher rates for optimum effect. Follow the pesticide label directions when this occurs.
