We have discussed many times that the water in our area is very alkaline and that this can have harmful effects on our plants. Alkaline water also adversely affects fertilizers, herbicides, fungicides and insecticides. For example, some insecticides lose up to 90% of their effectiveness after two hours when mixed with our alkaline water.

Many chemicals are less severely affected (50% less after 12 hours). The result is that you mix up a batch of chemicals and leave some in the spray tank planning to use them tomorrow or another day, they will have become ineffective or worthless. Chemicals in a spray tank must be used as soon as possible after being mixed. If there is anything left in the spray tank when you finish your project, pour the balance onto bare soil or down the laundry tub drain where it can be processed by the sewage disposal plant. Then rinse your tank, thoroughly when possible, Mr. Ed uses his Gilmore hose end sprayer for liquid chemical. The sprayer mixes the chemicals with water as it discharges and any leftover chemicals can be returned to their container.
