I would not use the herbicide sprayer for other purposes as i am not sure i could get it clean enough to prevent damage to other plants.Insecticide & fungicides do not need seperate sprayers,traces even if found in the sprayer would do no harm,sometimes in a mixed infestation both types are used together.Fertiliser should reach the roots in an easily available form,with granular form it reaches the roots when the plant is watered while with liquid form it is readily available.

Yes. Herbacide residues are difficult to remove from sprayers. Those residues will kill or damage plants if you are using the sprayer for insecticides.
Rinsing is not good enough to clean a sprayer since many herbacides have oil or foaming compounds. Only strong chemicals could remove the residues.

well, if you are using the different things on the same plants, and keep them reasonably clean, it should not matter in the slightest. Whether liquids are better than...powders for instance, is another question entirely.
Your weather, the exact type of insect, the type of plant you are using it on, how well you use it, and whether or not the liquid leaves a residue on the plants to keep protecting them all comes into play. You can eliminate having to us some of them by simply planting and growing garlic in amongst the other plants. most bugs will stay away from it, and thus it gives the plants they are around protection too. When i was on the farm, we used both types, powder and liquid. Since in that area we irrigated and had little rain to worry about, that was not usually a consideration. the powders simply worked better and were easier to apply to some kinds of plants, our big spray rig made it easy to reach even the tops of trees with the liquids (thesee started out as powders and were mixed with water to form a liquid.) Money wise thes types are better, as you are not paying for water and its containers and shipping.

I WOULD USE ONE SPRAYER FOR HERBICIDES AND ONE SPRAYER FOR INSECTICIDES AND FUNGICIDES. ONLY MIX WHAT YOU NEED TO USE THEN IF YOU HAVE SOME LEFT SPRAY IT OVER THE LAWN THEN TRIPLE RINSE YOUR SPRAYER. FUNGICIDES AND INSECTICIDES WILL START TO LOOSE THEIR EFFECTIVENESS SOME TIME AFTER 8 HOURS OF MIXING THEM UP, BY 24 HOURS THEY HAVE GONE FLAT FROM HYDROLYSIS. HERBICIDES WILL NOT BREAKDOWN BUT I DON'T RECOMMEND LEAVING THEM IN A SPRAYER IF YOU HAVE CHILDREN OR PETS. IF YOU USED ONE SPRAYER AND YOU HAD A RESIDUE OF HERBICIDE IN THE TANK WHEN YOUR INTENTION WAS TO USE A INSECTICIDE OR FUNGICIDE YOU MIGHT DAMAGE THE PLANT BY HERBICIDE DAMAGE. I WOULDN'T USE HERBICIDES IN YOUR GARDEN THEY ARE NOT LABELED FOR THAT USEAGE AND YOU MAY KILL YOUR PLANTS IF YOU GET SOME ON THE FOILAGE. USING INSECTICIDES AND FUNGICIDES IN THE GARDEN YOU MUST READ LABEL TO MAKE SURE THEY ARE LABELED FOR THAT USE. ALOT OF INSECTICIDES AND FUNGICIDES ARE NOT LABELED FOR GARDEN JUST ORNAMENTAL USE ONLY. I DON'T WORK IN GARDENS BUT YOU PROBABLY USE A GARDEN FERTILIZER 10-20-10 OR AN ORGANIC MIXTURE. CONSULT YOUR LOCAL COUNTY EXTENSION FOR FREE INFORMATION AND FACT SHEETS, THEY CAN ALSO RECOMMEND INSECTICIDES AND FUNGICDES FOR GARDEN USE.

at the beginning.. the Wrestling section is meant to be approximately olympic and unfastened type wrestling.. lol in all probability no longer expert wrestling like TNA and the WWE.. lol.. that is meant to be approximately wrestling ordinarily.. yet we quite often communicate approximately WWE and TNA wrestling lol.. yet while they did do this for some unusual reason.. i'd bypass to the two sections.. because of the fact i'm partial to the two TNA and WWE.. BQ - Why does not TNA have a super sort of heels top now..? xD lol.. i'm no longer in charge of TNA.. so i can not incredibly say why they have a super sort of heels top now.. it does look as though they are turning all their adult men heel.. yet i think of we are able to anticipate some face turns quickly.. you will think of the ICW would be thrilled.. considering the fact that maximum human beings perfer the heels to the faces nevertheless xD.. lol BQ2 - i assume i'd bypass with uncooked.. because of the fact I watch it the main.. I only get to work out the occasional ROH and AAA suits on my computing device... and it incredibly is the 1st probability i are growing to be to be to observe Smackdown in a protracted time.. and that i do no longer seize TNA as usually as I seize uncooked.. the two .. yet I do watch all 5 courses..

I have always owned one sprayer for everthing I apply.
After each use, I rinse the sprayer, pump and hose with clean water.Then I fill the sprayer with clean water, reassemble it, pump it up and spray the fresh water through the hose and nozzle. I believe there is no way that there is enough residue remaining to cause any problems.
My lawn, trees, shrubs and vegetables agree.
