Tank mixing BLSC with Pre Emergent

Post by __JT__ » July 25th, 2017, 8:36 am

Would it be compatible to tank mix BLSC with prodiamine... or with Tenacity (used as pre M)?

SLS and yucca mix only, not the “Kelp Help”. That I mix with Serenade, and apply as a fine mist. For this, I would be using a 20V backpack and a wide angle turbo tee or a flood jet.

I've been doing a lot of spraying, ~10K of turf, so I'm trying to come up with some process efficiency...

In a word, no. Although you'd probably get away with it cold, BLSC is an anionic surfactant. Most pre-ems don't recommend the use of any surfactant at all, while almost every spray that does recommend a surfactant recommend the use of a non-ionic one.

BLSC would mix well with Kelp Help, but that's about it (and you already spray your KH with Serenade, where I also wouldn't use BLSC due to the saltiness), and I'd avoid use with any other sprays used on the lawn.
