It's fine for the Propiconazole. That doesn't need a surfsctant. For the Tenacity, it's not the end of the world because there is also root uptake. For the PGR, it depends. Some already have surfactant in them. If your label doesn't mention using a surfactant as necessary, yours probably does. As far as the Bifenthrin, I have no idea...but my guess is that it's not something you need to stick to grass.

Did you mix them all together?!

T-NEX already has a surfactant in it I've been told. I've never used NIS in it, and have had good success. You should be good.
Excellent, I was a bit worried for a moment, thanks again colonel. Those measuring bottles for the PGR are awesome by the way.

More products should have them. Or I should buy some and pour the gallons into them. Simplifies life a ton.

Was putting down, bifen xts, tenacity, propocanizol and PGR.

First batch, I forgot the surfactant. Does that make it a waste or just half waste?
Good morning! With respect to the PGR, it can depend upon WHICH PGR you were applying. Here is a reference in which term search shows 3 results for "surfactant," 1 of which is an outright caution to NOT use a surfactant (trinexapac-ethyl but, Primo MAXX 1L specifically) and the other 2 notes indicating surfactant "may" be used (with caveats).

A good reference worthy of bookmarking: http://media.clemson.edu/public/turfgrass/2016%20Pest%20Management/2016pltgrowreg.pdf

It is interesting the choice of words, your article says do not use, but here is on that just says it is not necessary.

I add surfactant to mine, even though it already has some in it. I'm probably wasting it.

good thing surfactant is probably the cheapest of all the things we are wasting.
I was paying $10 for 8oz bottles of it. I just recently discovered I could get it for a lot less in a bigger bottle (and slightly different formula) on Amazon.
