Tank mixture

A tank mixture is a technical method that allows for the simultaneous application of several pesticides to expand the spectrum of activity against weeds, disease pathogens, or pests. The use of such combinations in modern agronomy is becoming a key tool for increasing the efficiency of plant protection measures, whether it is combating dangerous invasive species, such as Sosnowsky's hogweed, or maintaining crop purity in complex agrocenoses, for example, when growing corn together with sunflower.

For agronomists and plant protection specialists, the competent preparation of tank mixtures is not only a matter of saving time and reducing the number of machinery passes across the field, but also an important strategy for combating pathogen resistance to fungicides. In this compilation, we have collected relevant research and methodological recommendations dedicated to optimizing protection schemes. Readers will find a detailed analysis of the effectiveness of various post-emergence and soil herbicides, practical approaches to selecting products for mixed crops, and strategies that minimize the risks of pest resistance development during field operations.
