Drone Application Info
Water rate:
Ideal water rate for applying our fertilizers with a drone is 2 gallons per acre.
NOTE: These are “ideal” rates, but there is flexibility on this depending on your sprayer set-up.
Surfactant required:
Include a surfactant with 15-10-5. We recommend and offer SurTec* but any non-ionic surfactant with acidification properties is fine. Organic has its own surfactant.
Incompatible Herbicides:
Herbicides with 2,4-D except Lv6 are NOT tank-mix compatible with 15-10-5 or our C & C. They can be applied separately. We recommend and offer DuraCor* or any non-2,4D herbicide will mix fine. Organic is compatible with all herbicides we know of. (always jar-test)
SHAKE WELL: Shake those jugs like a paint can (especially Organic) before measuring off or adding to water. Shake the Organic and C&C extra vigorously. Laying the jug on sides and top for a few minutes each prior to shaking helps a lot. Very important nutrients will settle that need to be resuspended to get maximum benefits.
Organic jugs will swell up over time, so open vent cap to release gasses as needed.
How to tank mix:
1. Fill Batch tank 1/3 to 1/2 full of clean water.
2. Mix in surfactant alone first, then add nutrients, and finally your herbicide.
3. Agitate well while filling with remaining water.
Mix without herbicide will remain viable in your tank for several days. Always agitate before each use. Mix with herbicide should be applied right after mixing. Then empty tank and rinse well right after application.
Please run 15 to 30 gals of clean water through drone to rinse.
