PRECAUTIONS AND RESTRICTIONS
Do not combine emulsifiable liquids with wettable powders in the same spray tank unless previous use of the materials being combined has proven them to be physically compatible. Application may not be made around bodies of water where fish or shellfish are grown and/or harvested commercially.
All ULV formulations must be packaged in closed mixing and loading systems.
Do not apply this product through any type of irrigation system.
For proper mixing, fill the spray tank at least 3/4 full with water before Malathion 5 EC formulation is added.
