Miscibility
Vastimo® is miscible with all common herbicides, insecticides, and growth regulators, as well as foliar fertilizers of brand quality. For mixtures with ethephon-containing growth regulators, observe the instructions for use of these products: Always add ethephon-containing growth regulators last to the spray liquid! The addition of Ammonium Nitrate Urea solution (AHL) or urea is possible. The use of more than 20 l or kg product/ha can cause damage at high temperatures and low air humidity. For tank mixes with urea, dissolve it completely first. Only then add Vastimo® and other mixing partners as described. We are not liable for negative effects of tank mixes not recommended by us. Apply mixtures immediately while the agitator is running. In tank mixes, the application areas and conditions set and approved by the authorizing authority for the mixing partner must be observed.

Preparing the Spray Liquid
Fill the spray tank with at least half of the required water volume, add the product while stirring thoroughly, and top up with the remaining water volume. The spray liquid must be applied immediately after preparation without interruption. Avoid drift and over-dosing. Never prepare more spray liquid than necessary. Dilute unavoidable remaining spray liquid in a ratio of 1:10 and apply to the previously treated area. Rinse empty product containers thoroughly with water, add the rinse water to the spray liquid.

Cleaning
Thoroughly clean the sprayer and lines with water after use. Apply the resulting rinse water to the previously treated area. To do this, fill the tank with approx. 20% water and spray the inner surfaces of the tank with the water jet. Turn on the agitator for about 2 minutes. Then spray the cleaning liquid through the nozzles onto the previously treated area while the agitator is running. The regular external cleaning of the crop protection sprayer, especially the spray tank, pump unit, and boom, should be part of the normal operational procedure and should be carried out on the field whenever possible. Corresponding retrofitting kits with water storage tanks and cleaning brushes are offered by equipment manufacturers for this purpose.

Compatibility
Vastimo® is well tolerated in all cereal types.
