I was wanting to add it to my second round mix of pende and trimec so I don't have to spray and use a spreader going over area twice. Is there a certain order the stuff has to be mixed and how are you guys doing it? Thanks in advance.

i tried this one season and even though we used a filling strainer, it had grit that made it through even all the way to the gun nozzle . it was a complete mess, nothing but unclogging the gun every 50 ft. i would not reccomend it at all. i dont reccomend using dry melted in at all, liquid fert gives better results (through a srpay tank)and i have never seen tip burn with liquid unless way too much is used anyways. always see tip burn from the guys around here and when i used the dry melted in. just my 2 cents.

Uflexx is working great for me. I am currently applying at .66 pounds/k. I weigh and add my prodiamine then pour in measured liquids and then slowly pour in Uflexx. I have no problems with it. A finer meshed screen in your strainer will eliminate particles at the the hose tip.

The night before I will melt my Uflexx into the tank through the basket strainer to catch all the foreign material. Next morning I will add my Aqua-cap then 24d. Reason for this (past experience) is I think the Aqua-cap will settle over night and cause problems.

It is not recommended to leave pendi or aqua cap in the tank over night. It does settle in the bottoms and needs constant agitation to keep it suspended.
If I am not corrected, Pendi is a Naptha type suspension and sulfuric, so it will settle out. I don't use liquid UFLEXX. I still use granular.

In the event I do have to leave aqua-cap sitting overnight, I have a soft tip straight broom and I will start the agitation and actually sweep the bottom of the tank to resuspend the aqua-cap that has settled out on the bottom. But--- my problem was if it had 46-0-0 melted in it and it sat overnight it would not resuspend and clog my in-line filter just before the pump. Almost like wet clay. So this is why I add aqua-cap just before I head out for the day.

I DESOLVE it in the inducter bowl then pump into tank.Never had a problem.

I'm using .75 lbs. N/M, or 1 1/2 bags/ acre. Keeps it simple, too. As far as mixing order, there's a standard I use called "WALEF"....Wettable powders/dispersable bags, Agitate, Liquid pesticides, Emulsifiable concentrates, Fertilizers. This keeps the chances of physical incompatability to a minimum.

Excellent idea. I slowly "eek" my rate of Uflexx up as I get closer to greenup. I will be applying at the same rate as you very soon.
