GENERAL
INFORMATION:
LINK-700
is an effective blend of materials which act as a
buttering agent and compatibility agent to improve the
stability of liquid fertilizers mixed with pesticides
and/or micronutrients.
LINK-700
is used when a simultaneous application of liquid
fertilizer and liquid or dry pesticide is desired.
LINK-700
is also recommended when two different pesticides are to
be applied in a single source of liquid fertilizer of
water.
Since formulations differ and rates vary,
check compatibility of various pesticide, micronutrient,
and fertilize mixtures before mixing large quantities.
To check, add 1/4 teaspoon
LINK-700
lo 1 pint fertilizer or pesticide mixture in a jar and
add the recommended amount or (other) pesticide. (1/4
teaspoon per pint is equivalent to 2 pints per 100
gallons].
Shake well after each addition to ensure
adequate mixing, Let stand for 30 minutes. H separation,
formation of sludge, or any other precipitates are
observed, repeal testing using 3/8 teaspoon
LINK-700
(Equivalent to 3 pints
LINK-700
per 100 gallons). If the compatibility is still not
sufficient, prepare a pre-mix of
LINK-700
and the pesticide before adding lo the fertilizer.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
AS A BUFFERING AGENT:
For improving compatibility and stability
of liquid fertilizer and pesticide mixture, use
LINK-700
by one al the following procedures.
No. 1:
Add recommended quantity of
LINK-700
to the liquid fertilizer or water in the tank and mix
completely. Maintain agitation while adding the
pesticide. Mix thoroughly.
No. 2:
Add required amount of
LINK-700
and pesticide lo the tank containing the fertilizer and
mix completely.
No. 3:
Prepare a pre-mix of recommended rate of pesticide and
LINK-700
and add to the tank containing the fertilizer and mix
thoroughly.
Procedures No. 1 and 2 are appropriate
for most situations while No, 3 is recommended where
compatibility is still inadequate due to the application
of 2 or 3 different pesticides in a single source o(
liquid fertilizer. Procedure No. 3 is also suggested for
mixtures with high phosphate grade liquid fertilizers,
wet table powders, and flowable pesticide formulations.
RATES:
Liquid Nitrogen Fertilizers and
pesticides') -3 pints per 100 gallons of fertilizer.
Liquid Fertilizer and Multiple Pesticides
Combinations: 1/2 to 3 pints per 100 gallons of
fertilizer.
Multiple Pesticide Combinations in Water:
1/2 to 3 pints per 100 gallons of water.
NOTE:
Agitation
in the tank during application is recommend for certain
liquid fertilizer, pesticide combinations and
water-pesticide combinations. II the spray lank has been
allowed to stand, agitate before application. Too much
agitation might result in loaming. This can be avoided
by moderate or occasional agitation of the spray mixture
or by using an anti-foamer.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
AS A BUFFERING AGENT:
Many pesticides, especially
organophosphorus insecticides, lend to hydrolyze in
alkaline solutions, resulting in less effective pest
control. Decomposition normally occurs at a fat! rate
above ph 7. Even for those compounds undergoing slow
hydrolysis, adjustment or pH to an acid medium would
have a beneficial effect in minimizing decomposition.
Use 1/8 to 1-1/4 pints of
LINK-700
per 100 gallons of
water to lower the pH of alkaline pesticide spray
solutions. See chart below (or recommendations. The
optimum use rate of
LINK-700
may vary under extremely
alkaline conditions or il desired reduction of pH is
slight
LINK-700
should be added to the water in Ihe
spray lank with good agitation prior to adding
pesticide. Consult local extension agent or other
authority for recommended spray tank pH.
ALWAYS READ AND
FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS, RESTRICTIONS, AND PRECAUTIONS ON
THE PESTICIDE LABEL.
Instructions for use
of chart:
-
Test the pH of the water to be used
in your tank mix by using the pH test kit.
-
Determine the desired pH for (he
pesticide to be tank mixed. Typically, spray tank
mixtures are most effective at pH's between 6 and 7.
-
Determine the approximate quantity of
LINK-700
to be added to each 100 gallons or the tank mix by
reading down on the chart from starting pH to the
desired pH on the left side.
NOTE:
When applying aerially, follow pesticide label
directions including minimum water volume per acre. Do
not substitute
LINK-700
for water required by the pesticide label. Aquatic
Application: Apply at the rate recommended as described
by pesticide label.
CONTAINER DISPOSAL
Do not reuse empty container. Triple
rinse, then offer for recycling or for disposal in a
sanitary landfill, or by other means approved by Stale
and local authorities.
