By definition, Micronutrients are elements that the plant needs in very small quantities estimated at about 0.1 g/kg of dry matter weight. Despite their small usage rate, they are no less important than Macroelements, as it is impossible for the plant to reach ideal production and growth rates without them. Therefore, this essential role should not be ignored or overlooked in order to avoid issues regarding agricultural crops.

Water testing is the basis for your decision whether or not to condition your spray water. The purpose of conditioning water is to maximize the effectiveness of the pesticide. Even when water characteristics are ideal, most pesticides break down in water, over time, through a chemical process called hydrolysis. Some break down slowly, while others become inactive within a few hours. The pH of the tank water often has a dramatic effect on the breakdown process. What we need to know is how long products can stay in the tank before undergoing changes that can impact efficacy.
