    Source: Cima (2023)     On January 23 rd , 24 th   and 25 th of 2024, another edition of IAPA (International Advances in Pesticide Application) took place in England. IAPA is an event that takes place every two years in Europe and this time the event was held in the city of Brighton, on the south coast of England, with the greatest authorities in application technology (researchers, professors, consultants and professionals) at an international level. The event itself is not a very large congress, but it is in fact a scientific congress with various presentations of research conducted recently in Europe and various research carried out around the world. In fact, we at Spraytech also presented a research paper on application volume and droplet size in pre-emergent herbicide applications.

 Just as we commented on the importance of the order in which crop protection products are mixed and added during the preparation of the spray mixture in the previous post (see "Mixing order of crop protection products"), the incompatibility of crop protection products can occur depending on a number of factors. Bottle test (or Jar test), an easy and practical tool for assessing the physical and chemical incompatibility of pesticides. Photo: Elevagro, 2013    Before we talk about the main causes of incompatibility between products, we need to understand what types of incompatibility can occur in the mixing of the mixture. There are basically two types of incompatibility: 1) Chemical Incompatibility    In the context of agricultural spraying, chemical incompatibility is defined as when two or more products are mixed and the product resulting from the mixture presents an incompatibility between the products mixed in such a way as to impair their agronomic efficacy...
