New VI Tank Mix guide and NSTS Sprayer Checklist released
In association with AIC and De Sangoose, the VI has updated the popular Tank Mix guide and incorporated it with the NSTS Sprayer checklist onto on laminated sheet which can be used with a dry board marker to store in the tractor/sprayer cab or pesticide filling area to be used time and time again.
A few years ago, the VI launched an A5 sticker that highlighted the sequence in which plant protection products (PPPs) should be added to the induction hopper of your sprayer in order to achieve an agreed, properly prepared tank mix when applying a number of differently co-formulated PPPs. This proved very popular and can still be seen on many sprayers or on the walls of sprayer filling areas this this day.
In association with AIC and De Sangoose, the VI has updated the popular Tank Mix guide so that it now follows the W. A. L. E. S. acronym designed to help sprayer operators remember the correct sequence for mixing differently formulated products to achieve an agreed tank mix. This has now been incorporated with the NSTS Boom Sprayer checklist onto one laminated sheet which can be used with a dry board marker to store in the tractor/sprayer cab or pesticide filling area to be used time and time again.
