- When should I run a tank clean?
Always between different actives/crops, after hot mixes, before storage, and before sensitive crops. Thorough decontamination reduces off-target damage and residue pond loading.
Tank cleaners are important to ensure that spray booms and equipment is kept in good order and most importantly, that spray residues can be degraded prior to re-use in order to avoid contamination and potential crop damage.
Sulfonyl urea and phenoxy herbicides in particular can contaminate a spray and cause crop damage in very small quantities. They can remain in the spray equipment, and soak into scale, then be re-absorbed into the next spray.

A good quality COMPLETE tank cleaner and decontaminator can remove residues and break down of all of the active ingredients currently in use.
A good tank cleaner can also reduce the amount of chemical residue going into residue ponds on clean down of spray aircraft and equipment etc.
