INTRODUCTION The performance of many agrochemicals and fertilisers is impeded when applied with water which is either alkaline, hard, brackish or contaminated with insoluble deposits and impurities of calcium, magnesium, bicarbonates etc. In such conditions agrochemicals and fertilisers that are prone to hydrolysis may degrade or precipitate, resulting in poor performance due to lack of active in ingredients particularly when multi-product tank mixing is required. MODE OF ACTION Easi-Mix contains a blend of chemicals that soften and condition the water and optimise the pesticide or fertiliser application: Complexed acidifiers to reduce pH and minimise hydrolysis; A long-chain polymer based water softener; A sequestering agent to isolate cationic contaminants; Buffering agents to improve tank-mixing compatibility; Spreading and sticking agents to enhance foliar cover. WATER TESTING KIT Take 1 litre sample from the water supply Add 1 measured dose (0.5 ml = 1 pump) of Easi-Mix Testing Indicator to the water to obtain an initial colour. Continue to add measured 0.5 ml quantities of Testing Indicator until yellow/amber colour is achieved. At pH 5.0 and above the water is blue At pH 4.9 and below the water colour will change to green. At pH 4.3 and below the water will change to yellow/amber. Every 0.5 ml of Testing Indicator added to the test sample is equivalent to 250 ml of Easi-Mix added to 1000 litres of spray-tank water Examples: Soft Water 0.5 litre / 1000 l water (0.05% or 100 ml / 200 l) Med/hard water 1 litre / 1000 l water (0.1% or 200 ml / 200 l) Hard water 2 litres / 1000 l water (0.2% or 400 ml / 200 l) Check samples of water regularly as pH of water can vary frequently.
