Preparation of Spray Mixture
Fill the tank to half its capacity. In a separate container, add a small amount of water to the required quantity of Diurex 800 WP and mix well until a thin paste is obtained with agitator running, pour this paste through the filter into the tank, adding water up to the required amount. If the filled sprayer has stood idle for some time, agitate and ensure good mixing before starting to spray.
