If there is no label directions for tank mixing, the user assumes risk and responsibility for safety, efficacy and phytotoxicity of the tank mixture.

The main point is that the label tells you exactly how you may mix and apply pesticides. When there are no label directions for a tank mix, you’re taking on all the risk and responsibility for what happens, including safety for people and the environment, whether the product will work as intended (efficacy), and whether the mix could injure the crop (phytotoxicity). The label is the legal guide, and without its tank-mix approval, there’s no official assurance that the combination is safe or effective. Weather, soil texture, or cost may affect results, but they don’t address the core legal and safety risk described here.
