how long can i leave a mix of either fungicide, or insecticide in the sprayer before it becomes innefective? obviously this is a ballpark statement, but say i wanted to spray in the early morning, and i wanted to mix up a batch the night before, would that be okay?

overnighting has never been a problem in my experience. the cooler you keep the mix, the better i would assume.

Ditto Andy's response. No more than a couple days if kept cool. Less than a day in the sun. Less than 8 hours if the pH is goofy & it's hot.

Organic based oil sprays usually state, on the label, that leftovers are not, to be saved. However I have saved, in small amounts, for inside, the home use with no known loss, of any quality. For instance the initial application and a follow up some seven days later.

Don't save it for more than 2 days. I did, then used it with a fresh and weak mixture. View my diary and see what the result was...
