Notes
1). Authorised labels for plant protection products may require the use of an adjuvant to achieve the necessary pest control claims. This is known as a ‘positive tank mix’ and differs from the majority of tank mix recommendations where no enhanced control is claimed (‘convenience tank mixes’).

By derogation from the above list entry, where a plant protection product label includes a ‘positive tank mix’ which names either this specific adjuvant or a class of adjuvants to which this adjuvant belongs, it is possible to deviate from the requirements of this list entry as long as the requirements of the ‘positive tank mix’ on the plant protection product label are fully complied with.

2). It is the responsibility of the end user to ensure the active substance or plant protection product referred to on this list entry are currently authorised for use when applying in a tank mix.

To check authorised products please go to: Pesticides Register - Search Page

To check active substances please refer to either the EU database (EU Pesticides Database (v.2.2) Search Active substances, safeners and synergists) or the GB register (https://www.hse.gov.uk/pesticides/pesticides-registration/uk-active-substances-register.htm) as necessary.
