Bought wrong surfactant
« on: February 07, 2019, 10:20:38 AM »
I accidentally bought the wrong surfactant (much cheaper at walmart.com) and I was wondering if this would still work for foliar feeding? (primarily seaweed, and neem oil sprays)

You may be able to return it free of charge if you drop it off at Kohl's.

It was purchased from a 3rd party through walmart. I tried to cancel the order immediately and was unable to as their customer service was literally nonexistant. Emailed the seller with no response.
Ideally if it would work that would be best. I think I paid 15$ for it, probably not worth the hassle of returning.

If the label doesn't mention that it may also be used for plant-beneficial sprays, such as nutritionals or fungicidal sprays, don't try it on anything important!  Or try it on just a few leaves, and wait 10 days to finish evaluating for visible damage on leaves.  Try to find out if it has any ingredients that could contaminate food produced later on.

Herbi-oil is listed for use with pesticide.

Spreader-Sticker is listed for vegetables.

Got walmart to do a return at no cost. Was a surprising pain in the butt. Ordered spreader sticker on amazon, will be here before I even receive my order from walmart. :)
