Strike Zone MxD
USE PRECAUTIONS
The degree of application drift hazard varies with the type of pesticide, application methods, weather conditions, and vegetation near the spray area. Drift minimization is the responsibility of the applicator. Always consult your local and state agricultural authorities for information regarding avoiding or minimizing spray drift. The use of professional application technology must be followed when spraying pesticides. STRIKE ZONE MXD will retard, but not totally eliminate spray application drift. Spray solutions treated with STRIKE ZONE MXD that are spilled may result in surfaces that are quite slippery.
AFTER USE
Spray application equipment should be thoroughly rinsed and flushed with a tank cleaning agent. Follow all cleanup precautions on the label(s) of pesticides used. All government recommended procedures for the disposal of pesticide spray solutions must be followed.
GENERAL INFORMATION
STRIKE ZONE MXD is a patented blend of ammonium and potassium salts, water conditioning agents and nonionic organic polymers designed to enhance pesticide efficacy and spray deposition. STRIKE ZONE MXD is designed to modify the viscosity, atomization and shear characteristics of water based spray applications. This results in minimizing the formation of driftable droplets while increasing spray deposition. STRIKE ZONE MXD is also effective in reducing spray droplet evaporation and bounce. STRIKE ZONE MXD is effective as a substitute or replacement for ammonium sulfate and other fertilizer products that are used as spray adjuvants. STRIKE ZONE MXD reduces antagonisms due to water quality problems and may enhance the performance of some pesticides. This product contains no surfactants.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
FOR USE WITH PRODUCTS REGISTERED FOR: AGRICULTURAL, AQUATIC, FORESTRY, INDUSTRIAL, MUNICIPAL, NON-CROPLAND, ORNAMENTAL, RIGHTSOF-WAY, TURF, AND OTHER USES.
USE RATE:
Ground Application:
Spray application volumes of 5-10 GPA: use ½ to 1 lb per acre.
Spray application volumes of 11-15 GPA: use 1 to 2 1/2 lbs per acre. Or, apply at the rate of 9 lbs per 100 gallons of spray.
Aerial Application:
For use as a water conditioning agent: 4-10 lbs per 100 gallons of spray application mix. For deposition enhancement: use 9-17 lbs per 100 gallons of spray.
The addition of an adjuvant to some pesticides, pesticide combinations, and/or fertilizers may cause phytotoxicity to the foliage and/or fruit of susceptible crops or non-targeted vegetation. Prior to the addition of STRIKE ZONE MXD to a spray mix, the user or application advisor must have experience with the combination or must have conducted a phytotoxicity trial.
MIXING
IMPORTANT: Always add STRIKE ZONE MXD as the first component of a spray tank mixture before other additives or pesticides. This may be different than the mixing order for conventional drift control additives. Prior to any pesticide or fertilizer application all spray mixing equipment must be cleaned. Carefully observe all cleaning directions on the pesticide label. Fill the spray or mix tank one-third to one-half full of water and begin agitation. Slowly add the recommended amount of STRIKE ZONE MXD and mix until product is completely dissolved. Add the remaining amount of water while maintaining agitation. After adding STRIKE ZONE MXD add pesticides and/or fertilizers as directed by labeling or in the following sequence:
1. Compatibility agents
2. Dry flowables or water dispersible granules
3. Wettable powders
4. Flowables
5. Water based solutions
6. Emulsifiable concentrates
7. Spray adjuvants
8. Other
