Notes:
Adjuvant/surfactant are always recommended (As generally practiced for foliar sprays).
Compatibility. Multi-K is highly compatible with a wide range of pesticides and growth regulators, commonly used in field-crops. It is also compatible with other plant nutrients used for correction of deficiencies (Mg, Zn, etc.). Nevertheless, it is advisable to confirm compatibility by mixing a sample of the spray materials at the recommended concentration, before adding to the mix tank.
Safety Measures. Spray should be applied when the plants are fully turgid, and should be avoided during hot and dry weather. Best results are obtained when spraying in the late evening or early morning. It is recommended that this mixture will be sprayed on a small test plot, a few days prior to the comprehensive commercial treatment, so as to assess whether any adverse effects may occur.
