When to Apply

80/20 Select can be used on all turf and ornamental plants to improve spray coverage, retention, and penetration. It works with most herbicides, fungicides, and insecticides without causing chemical interactions.

For best results, apply when plants are actively growing and environmental conditions are mild. 80/20 Select helps sprays stick, spread, and penetrate tough-to-wet surfaces, ensuring your treatments are more effective.

PRO TIPS

Apply early morning or late afternoon to reduce evaporation and maximize uptake
Add water first, then your active ingredient, and finish with 80/20 Select to ensure even mixing
Focus on hard-to-wet or dense foliage for best penetration
Mix 1 TBSP per 1 gallon. If using The Andersons 20:1 or 60:1 Hose-End Sprayers, mix 5 TBSP per bottle.

Pro Tips for Best Results

Watch Temperature & Moisture

Use when the grass is actively growing and not heat-stressed.

Mix & Apply on Calm Days

Apply when winds are low (less drift), so coverage is even and uptake is efficient.

Use the Right Rate

Follow label recommendations — too much surfactant can reduce efficacy or cause leaf burn.

Spray Evenly

Maintain steady pressure and overlap slightly to ensure uniform coverage across all turf areas.

Rinse Sprayer After Use

Always clean out your equipment after application to avoid residue or buildup that could affect future treatments.
