Mixing Instructions

  1. Use a 50 mesh (or coarser) filter screen and fill tank 3/4 full with correct amount of water. Start and continue agitation throughout mixing and spraying.
  2. Add the required amount of Solo herbicide water-soluble bags directly into the sprayer through the tank opening and allow to dissolve completely.
  3. For Solo plus Lontrel® herbicide tank-mix, add recommended amount of Lontrel.
  4. Agitate for at least 10 minutes to dissolve the herbicide. After the herbicide is dissolved, continue agitation.
  5. If required, add the correct amount of Merge adjuvant. If excess foaming occurs, a silicone anti-foaming agent may be added (e.g. Halt®).
  6. Complete filling the tank to the desired level with water. If agitation is stopped for more than 5 minutes, re-suspend spray solution by full agitation prior to commencing spraying again.
  7. Between loads of tank-mix, check in-line and nozzle screens and rinse clean if needed.

  • Lentil growers who use any non registered herbicide - even in a tank mix - will not be in compliance with the Clearfield Commitment process and therefore will be ineligible for related rewards.
