How long can I store my Chlorothalonil once it is mixed with water? The container doesn't say. I just want to make sure it loses it effectiveness if left until the next spraying.

Mix only what you plan to use. Don't save any of it. If you have something left, spray it out on another plant that's on the label or even the lawn.

24 hours might nor degrade it entirely but there will be a loss. Don't take chances.

It’s also important to avoid alkaline water (ex. from calcareous soils) or acidify pH till 6.5-7.0. High pH water degrade some pesticide molecules causing loss of activity in few hours.

Im with Tremor after i spray and everythings good and covered I just spray whats left on my girlfreinds plants. I dont spray my lawn though I hate grass. Any place grass can grow at my house theres a vegatable garden planted. My lawnmowers a backsprayer and roundup beats a John Deer anyday.
