The EW Podcast - Joel Simmons with Lawrence Mayhew - The Chemistry of Tank Mixing

We brought back Lawrence Mayhew, the EarthWorks Chemist, to talk about the chemistry of tank mixing. In today's turf world, with limited labor forces, we are seeing tank mixes getting bigger and bigger in terms of how many products are going into a tank. This can become quite a problem chemically and many turf managers are getting into tank mix issues. We see clogged nozzles or tanks that gel up and become unusable. This costs a lot of money, a lot of time, can ruin your day and is frustrating. Lawrence talks about the chemical reactions that can occur and how to build a bench test to avoid any reaction in your tank mix. As always, he is very thorough in his descriptions of how these reactions can happen and how to avoid the problem. The conversation went down the road of the importance of trace elements and how many are important to the plant. As always, the conversation with Lawrence is fascinating!
