MIXING:
Prior to mixing GAT Decline 2.5 EC it is particularly important to thoroughly wash out the sprayer using a recommended detergent. Solvents in EC formulations can remove pesticides adhering to the tank and other parts of the sprayer. Shake well before use. Add the required quantity immediately at the beginning of filling the spray tank with water. Keep the spray agitation in action and add the required quantity of water. Continue agitation until spraying is completed Wash out container thoroughly after spraying.
