How to Use

Must not exceed 5% v/v of total spray solution.
- Step 2: Fill the spray tank more than half full of water, then add the measured amount of the selected pesticide. Next, add the proper amount of MSO Select Surfactant and the remaining half of water. Agitate the sprayer until both products are thoroughly dispersed.
- Step 3: Spray the pesticide mixed with MSO Select Surfactant according to its product label instructions. Apply the mixed product material within 36 hours of mixing.
