Re: Mixing

Mike,
   I think you would be better off not to mix 3 or more chemicals at the same
time. Sometimes the chemicals are not compatible and could react or settle
out. The bigger problem is phytotoxicity. Every chemical has a certain
ability to burn or damage foliage. I have used Bravo and Sevin at the same
time and have seen no I'll effects. If you add a third ingredient you will be
more likely to have trouble. Spraying on a very hot day can increase risk.
Spraying some chemicals on wet foliage can cause problems. Stress is a thing
that can make your plant mature too quickly...I would not spray 3 or more
things at once. One at a time is best, but sometimes that is not convenient.
If you want to spray two things, try a test spray on a few leaves and wait a
few days for ill effects. I spray the vines, stems, pumpkins and mature
leaves...I don't spray the ends of the vines with the tender new foliage.
