Abstract | ||
Three methods of mixing fertilizers and insecticides were used. The first was the addition of formulated insecticide to the aqueous solution of foliar fertilizer, the second was the addition of formulated fertilizer to the aqueous emulsion of the insecticide, and the third was the direct mixing of both formulations then dilution by water. Physical properties such as emulsion stability, foam, electrical conductivity, viscosity and surface tension were studied at aerial dilution rate for insecticides alone and their binary mixtures with foliar fertilizers under the studied methods of mixing. Data showed that the compatibility was highly affected with the method of mixing , a matter necessitating the mention of the method of mixing in the application instructions. | ||
