How to Use This Calculator
- Enter each product to be tank-mixed, including herbicides, insecticides, and adjuvants.
- Set the water pH and hardness level.
- Review the compatibility score and any incompatibility warnings.
- Follow the jar test procedure to physically verify compatibility before field mixing.
- Add products in the correct order: WP/WDG then liquids then EC then adjuvants.
How the result changes with Product 1 formulation
| Product 1 formulation | Compatibility score |
|---|---|
| 1.6 | 100 |
| 3.1 | 100 |
| 4.9 | 75 |
| 6.4 | 100 |
What each input means
- Number of products
- Total products (pesticides, fertilizers, adjuvants) to mix.
- Product 1 formulation
- 1=SP, 2=WP, 3=WDG, 4=SC/Flowable, 5=EC, 6=Solution, 7=Adjuvant.
- Water hardness (ppm)
- CaCO3 concentration in ppm. Check your water test report.
- Water pH
- Spray water pH. Ideal range is 5-7 for most pesticides.
- Water temperature (F)
- Cold water reduces solubility of powders and dry flowables.
What each result means
- Compatibility score
- 0-100 score. 80+ = Low risk, 50-79 = Moderate, <50 = High risk.
- Risk level (1-3)
- 1 = Low risk (proceed), 2 = Moderate (jar test recommended), 3 = High (do not mix without testing).
- Water conditioner needed
- 1 = Yes (add ammonium sulfate or water conditioner), 0 = No.
- Jar test mL/product
- Proportional mL of each product for a standard 1-quart jar test.
- Spray water pH
- Entered water pH. Target 5-7 with a buffering agent if needed.
- Products in tank
- Number of products being tank mixed.
