| Compatibility | Do NOT combine Serenade Optimum in the spray tank with pesticides, surfactants, copper-based products or fertilisers unless prior experience has shown the combination to be compatible. Any tank combinations must also be tested for effectiveness on disease and selectivity to plants before use on commercial areas. If the use of any tank mixture is desirable, a small volume of the mixcture should first be tested in a small measured volume, for physical compatibility at the dilution rates required. If this test is positive, a field test of the mixture should then be carried out on a few plants to observe effectiveness and plant safety. |
