BACKGROUND INFORMATION

Improper mixing sequence of crop protection products can cause incompatibility problems, lost spraying time from plugged sprayer nozzles, and the risk of cross contamination problems later. Simple mixing errors will cost time and money.

FS Adjuvants determines the correct mixing sequence of crop protection tank mixes and helps users avoid product incompatibilities. It can save applicators time and money by avoiding product loss and sprayer cleanout problems. Mixing precautions and known incompatibilities are included.

With the spray log, applicators can focus on spraying, while the app documents spraying time and the number of intervals. As drift control regulation increases, the available weather integration helps reduce spray drift risks by relaying and capturing weather conditions prior to spraying. Users don’t need to worry about stopping the spray log timer – the app will present reminders every 60 minutes. Spray log management assists with documentation and compliance and adds operational efficiencies.

When spraying is complete, all details are listed in the spray log, along with the mixing sequence. There’s also a notes section to add additional information. The enhanced sharing functionality includes all spray log details directly within the email, making documentation and recordkeeping easier.

Included is a database of over 1, 000 crop protection products from over 17 manufacturers. Mixing orders can contain up to 19 products from the following categories:

• Herbicides (includes PGRs and Defoliants)
• Fungicides (includes Bactericides)
• Insecticides (includes Miticides and IGRs)
• Adjuvants
• Foliar Nutrition

An online version of FS Adjuvants is also available at www.fsadjuvants.com.

Please read and follow all labels to ensure product compatibility.

• Mixing precautions and crop protection products will be added at the discretion of GROWMARK, Inc.
