    For best results, tank mix Kontos Insecticide with Agral 90 (a non-ionic spray adjuvant / additive having spreading and penetrating properties) to maximize leaf uptake and systemicity of the active ingredient within treated plants. Mix Agral 90 at 150 mL per 1000L of water and always test mixture in a small area to ensure no risk of phytotoxicity prior to use. Use of any blended adjuvant is not permitted.
