The WALES tank-mixing method outlines the order in which products should be added to the mix.

W

  • WATER goes into the clean tank first. Fill the tank at least half full and start agitation.
  • Add WATER SOLUBLE BAGS (WSB) to the tank into clean water before adding any other tank mix partners. Allow the water soluble bags to completely dissolve before adding any other products.
  • Add WETTABLE POWDERS (WP).
  • Add WATER DISPERSIBLE GRANULES (WDG).

A

  • Maintain AGITATION and allow the dry products to mix thoroughly to ensure uniform dispersion before adding other products. This might take a few minutes.

L

  • Add LIQUID FLOWABLES [Suspension Concentrates (SC) or Suspo-emulsions (SE)].

E

  • Add EMULSIFIABLE CONCENTRATES (EC) or Microemulsion Concentrates.

S

  • Add SOLUTIONS (SN) or SOLUBLE LIQUIDS (SL). Finish by completely filling the spray tank with water and continue to agitate until the spray application is complete.*

*If boron is included in the fertilizer, ensure WSBs are dissolved completely in clean water before adding the fertilizer to the spray tank.
