COMBINATION SPRAYS 
At times it is more economical and convenient to mix two or more sprays and apply them in one 
operation. Before such mixtures are prepared, the grower should be sure no reaction harmful to the 
plants will occur, and that the efficiency of the serarate ingredients is not reduced. Consult your State 
Entomologist or Plant Pathologist for information on combination sprays for specific crops.
