Mixing Instructions
ADMIRE PRO SYSTEMIC PROTECTANT is a suspension concentrate (flowable) formulation, shake well prior to measuring/mixing. The formulation is thixotropic and after sitting for a short time reverts to a gel or thick paste consistency helping to prevent phase separation common to most flowables. After moderate shaking the formulation thins to a relatively non-viscous liquid which pours and measures easily with very few trapped air bubbles - another common problem of most flowables.
ADMIRE PRO SYSTEMIC PROTECTANT has demonstrated easy mixing/blooming in water with
varying degrees of hardness and temperature. ADMIRE PRO SYSTEMIC PROTECTANT has demonstrated good mixing and compatibility with many fluid fertilizers without dilution with water.
However, because fertilizers vary widely in quality and composition it is suggested that a jar test be performed (see Compatibility Note below) prior to full-scale mixing.
To prepare the application mixture, add a portion of the required amount of water/fertilizer to the tank and with agitation add ADMIRE PRO SYSTEMIC PROTECTANT. Complete filling tank with balance of water/fertilizer needed. Maintain sufficient agitation during both mixing and application. ADMIRE PRO SYSTEMIC PROTECTANT may also be used with other pesticides. Please see Compatibility Note below. When tank mixtures of ADMIRE PRO SYSTEMIC PROTECTANT and other pesticides are involved, prepare the tank mixture as recommended above and follow suggested Mixing Order below.
Mixing Order
When pesticide mixtures are needed, add wettable powders or wettable granules first, ADMIRE PRO SYSTEMIC PROTECTANT and other suspension concentrate (flowable) products second, and emulsifiable concentrates last. Ensure good agitation as each component is added. Do not add an additional component until the previous is thoroughly mixed. If a fertilizer solution is added or used as the diluent, a fertilizer/pesticide compatibility agent may be needed. Maintain constant agitation during both mixing and application to ensure uniformity of spray mixture.
