Get your bucket out and put some in at double strength give it a really good stir and see if it all stays in solution. It’s the only way.

100% agree with the above, try a bucket test.

For reference Headland (FMC) don't support mixing their 15% Manganese Sulphate (same as Opte Man?) with their Boron 15%.

I had a funky mix of 3lt omex 15%mn 5lt optemag o.25 coptrel 0.25 zintrac, 2 lt boron,5kg/ha krist sop and that was all fine together.

I’ve just done. 1L basf ccc,0.1L moddus, 1L Bravo, .5L tebuconazole, 2L Opteman, 0.5L Bortrac and 0.3L Zintrac.
Appeared to be ok at first but after the third 20ha tank the applied rate started to drop.
After the fourth 20ha tank I had 10% leftover and had to clean a grainy sludge out of the filters!

If those are yara nutrient products ask them about compatabilities. I dont think zinc and boron products go well together from memory.

Yes the bortrac and Zintrac are Yara

They seemed familiar. Even if they dont know how safe your mix is they will know which products you could use that are safe.

New this year here, thanks to Aggro Dave, is an IBC with 15% Mn, 4%B, 2% Zn and 1% Cu. The crowd that mixed it did a 48 hr bucket test first.

ref Boron above, Bortrac is as compatible as it gets IMO, but i still would bucket test any cheap epoxi especially (cottage cheese?? Rubric ok Cortez not ok), and never with any insecticide (reduced efficacy and or cottage cheese - cheese might just have been Dursban)

Don’t think that mix will cause you any issues, opte b v good formulation and never known any issue with feeder k... anything else going in? Few things opted an doesn’t like but usually ok with other nutrients. If in doubt as the other lads say try in a bucket 1st and dont drop water rate too low ( below 150 say).

The other thing to remember with bucket tests is what order you put the products into the mix. If it works put it into the sprayer in the same sequence as sometimes that can be the difference between success or sludge!
