A is for AGITATE L is for LIQUIDS or Water Dispersible Products ie your SC, CS, F, ME L or SL formulations E is for Emulsificable Concentrates--EC forms which are usually your oil based per se' such as your Outlooks, Armezon PROs etc. S is for SURFACTANTS ie Adjuvants (NIS, COC, MSO and others) add remaining water and agitate--- DALES or WALES... now you know the SCRIPT for loading a chemical spray tank! Also Soft water makes a HUGE difference vs HARD water --for contact herbicides. Fun Fact.
