Laboratory studies were conducted during kharif 2017 to know the physical compatibility of recommended insecticides (Thiamethoxam 25 WG, Imidacloprid 17.8 SL, Profenophos 50 EC, Chlorpyriphos 20 EC, Flubendiamide 480 SC and Chlorantraniliprole 18.5 SC) and fungicides (Hexaconazole 5 SC, Tricyclazole 75 WP, Carbendazim 50 WP and Propiconazole 25 EC) against rice insect pests and diseases with most commonly used foliar nutrient. All the 24 combinations tested showed physical compatibility with no foaming and sedimentation. The pH value of majority of the insecticide and fungicides combinations tested was neutral to moderately acidic but when mixed with foliar nutrient, the solution turned to be strongly acidic.
