KARMEX® DF should be used only in accordance with recommendations on this label. Before spraying, calibrate equipment to determine the quantity of water necessary to uniformly cover area to be treated. Accurately weigh amount of KARMEX® DF required and mix into necessary volume of water. Water serves only as a carrier. Except for small areas, use fixed-boom power sprayers properly calibrated to insure constant rate of application. Openings in screens should be equal to or larger than 50 mesh. Material must be kept in suspension at all times by agitation, preferably continuous mechanical or hydraulic means in the spray tank. If bypass or return line is used, it should terminate at bottom of tank to minimize foaming. Do not use air agitation.
