GENERAL INFORMATION
BUFFER P.S. is a spreader-buffering agent designed to adjust the pH of alkaline waters and minimize hydrolysis of pesticides which tend to decompose in alkaline spray solutions. BUFFER P.S. also has the properties of a wetter/spreader surfactant and compatibility agent. BUFFER P.S. can positively affect pesticide spray application and pesticide efficacy.Do not apply this product in such a manner as to directly or through drift expose workers or other persons. Do not spray pesticides if conditions of thermal inversion exist, or if wind direction and speed may cause drift onto adjacent areas. With both aerial and ground applications, the use of a drift control or spray deposition additive (in accordance withpesticide(s) label(s) directions) may reduce the potential for drift to occur. Drift minimization is the responsibility of the applicator. Consult your local and state agricultural authorities for information regarding avoiding or minimizing spray drift.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE
IMPORTANT: Read these entire Directions and Conditions of Sale, including the Warranty and Limitation of Damages provision, before using.
FOR USE WITH PRODUCTS REGISTERED FOR: AGRICULTURAL, AQUATIC, FORESTRY, INDUSTRIAL, MUNICIPAL, NON-CROPLAND, ORNAMENTAL, RIGHTSOF-WAY, TURF. Use 1/2 to 4 pints of BUFFER P.S. per 100 gallons of water to lower and stabilize the pH of the spray solution. The rates of BUFFER P.S. may vary with water conditions and will depend upon the alkalinity of the water used or the presence of other products in the spray mix. The use of a pH measuring device is recommended. Final spray solution pH for many pesticides should be in the 4 – 7 range.
Note: Spray mixes containing fixed copper (products such as cupric hydroxide, tribasic copper or copper oxychloride) should not be buffered below a pH of 5.0.

METHOD OF ADDITION
Prior to any pesticide application, all spray mixing and application equipment must be clean.Carefully observe all cleaning directions on the pesticide(s) label(s).
BUFFER P.S. should be added to the water in the spray tank with good agitation prior to mixing the pesticide. Do not mix BUFFER P.S. with undiluted pesticides.
