Soil Applied

Hydra-Hume® A and Hydra-Hume® DG-A

The Hydra-Hume line of adjuvants comes in a dry (DG-A) and liquid (A) formulations. Both products consist of a proprietary blend of adjuvant components, humic acids, and specific formulants. They have been specifically designed for use with fertilizers and pre-plant, pre-emerge and soil applied herbicides on all crop production systems.

 
Non-Ionic Surfactants 90/10

INDUCE® A proprietary blend of nonionic, low foam spray adjuvants; incorporating the properties of a wetter/spreader surfactant when used in pesticidal spray mixtures, and is designed to quickly wet and spread a more uniform spray deposit over plant leaf and stem surfaces.

Organosilicones (Non-Ionic Surfactants)

SILWET® L-77 A nonionic 100% organosilicone surfactant copolymer having "super" wetting and spreading characteristics when used in aqueous sprays.

KINETIC® A unique nonionic organosilicone-based wetter/spreader/penetrant spray adjuvant. It is designed to provide rapid spreading and absorption of pesticide and nutrient sprays into plant leaves and stems. Because of its unique abilities, Kinetic can be used at much lower rates than conventional surfactants.

Spreader / Stickers

COHERE™ Film-free spreader-sticker adjuvant for fungicide and insecticide applications whose use rates are normally half that of conventional "film forming" stickers.

HYPER ACTIVE™ A patented adjuvant designed specifically for use with insecticides, fungicides and miticides. The spray coverage and penetration improvements are applicable for both plant and pest surfaces.

SURFIX® A proprietary blend of nonionic spreader-sticker adjuvants designed to improve the application efficiency of pesticides by modifying the contact, wetting and adhesion of the pesticides onto plant surfaces. Surfix can be used with a broad range of pesticides whose labels recommend the addition of a spreader-sticker adjuvant.

Surfix P. A proprietary pinene based sticker for use with all pesticides.

Nonionic / Fertilizer Premix

PATROL® 25-0-0 A proprietary blend of N-28 liquid fertilizer and premium nonionic surfactants. Patrol is recommended for use with pesticides whose labels recommend this specific mixture. Patrol is also available using 10-34-0 fertilizer as a substitute for N-28.

Drift Reduction & Deposition

POINTBLANK® A unique PAM based deposition aid and drift reduction retardant. This new technology adjuvant decreases driftable fines while improving deposition in pesticide spraying. PointBlank disperses easily and is effective at usage rates half that of other drift retardents.

PENETRATOR® PLUS A unique blend of special nonionic and anionic surfactant and a light to midrange petroleum oil. Penetrator Plus is designed for use with a range of pesticides recommending a crop oil concentrate. The addition of Penetrator Plus to a spray tank improves pesticide application by modifying the deposition and wetting characteristics of the spray solution and adjusting the pH of alkaline waters.

NALCO-TROL® / NALCO-TROL® II Polymer based spray adjuvants designed for retarding misting and drift, and improving deposition of spray solutions. Both products are compatible with most water soluble and wettable powder pesticides, desiccants and defoliants.

STA-PUT® Effective, easy-to-use polymer-based deposition aid for increasing deposition and retarding drift in spraying operations.

STRIKE ZONE® DF A dry concentrate formulation of a spray drift control and deposition agent for use in ground equipment applications. It is a unique blend on nonionic colloidal polymers that modifies the viscosity, atomization and shear characteristics of water-based spray applications. Unlike polyacrylamide-based drift control and deposition agents, pesticide bioefficacy is not reduced when using Strike Zone DC.

Foam Makers

ALIGN™ A highly concentrated synthetic foam blend containing special additives to give durability under a wide array of extreme application conditions. Produces a light, highly dense foam mass. Contains optical brighteners for added visibility. This product is not registered for use in California.

Buffering Agents

BUFFER PS™ A blend of buffering agents designed to adjust the pH of alkaline waters, minimize hydrolysis of pesticides which tend to decompose in alkaline spray solutions. Buffer PS will also affect the wetting and spreading characteristics of a spray solution.

Water Conditioners

QUEST® A proprietary blend of water conditioning agents and spray adjuvants designed to make pesticide sprays more efficient. Quest removes carbonates and bicarbonates that can deactivate pesticide, sequesters metal cations in spray solutions and modifies the pH of spray solutions. Quest can be used as a replacement and/or supplement to ammonium sulfate.

Anti-Foaming Agents

FOAM BUSTER™ A blend of foam-eliminating agents that work physically, not chemically, to prevent or control foam problems. Foam Buster is an excellent foam breaker, and should be used to prevent foam formation whenever possible.

Compatibility Agents

BUFFER PS™ A blend of buffering agents designed to adjust the pH of alkaline waters, minimize hydrolysis of pesticides which tend to decompose in alkaline spray solutions. Buffer PS will also affect the wetting and spreading characteristics of a spray solution.

Methylated Seed Oil Based

Dyne-Amic® A unique and superior nonionic spray adjuvant. Dyne-Amic contains a proprietary blend of highly refined methylated vegetable oils in combination with organosilicone-based surfactants. This provides spreading and coverage comparable to nonionic surfactants with the physical characteristics of a crop oil concentrate.

Aero Dyne-Amic® A proprietary formulation of organosilicone surfactants, oils, emulsifiers and buffering agents specifically designed for use with insecticides and fungicides applied aerially. Its addition to the spray mix improves pesticide application by modifying the wetting, spreading, deposition and penetrating characteristics of the applied spray mix. In addition, it acts as a buffer and can prevent the decomposition of pesticide active ingredients.

Crop Oil Concentrates

AGRI-DEX® A proprietary blend of heavy range, paraffin-based petroleum oil and nonionic surfactants. Considered the standard of comparison, Agri-Dex is designed for use with a broad range of pesticides where a crop oil concentrate adjuvant is recommended.

COC A proprietary blend of heavy range, petroleum oil and nonionic surfactants. COC is designed for use with a broad range of pesticides where a crop oil concentrate adjuvant is recommended.

PENETRATOR® A proprietary blend of high-quality, light range, paraffin-based petroleum oil and nonionic surfactants. Penetrator is specifically effective in improving insecticide and fungicide spray applications, but can be used with any pesticide recommending the use of a crop oil concentrate adjuvant.

PENETRATOR® PLUS A unique blend of special nonionic and anionic surfactant and a light to midrange petroleum oil. Penetrator Plus is designed for use with a range of pesticides recommending a crop oil concentrate. The addition of Penetrator Plus to a spray tank improves pesticide application by modifying the deposition and wetting characteristics of the spray solution and adjusting the pH of alkaline waters.

Seed Oil Based

VEGETABLE OIL CONCENTRATE® A proprietary blend of refined vegetable oils and nonionic surfactants designed to maximize the performance of pesticides by increasing deposition and coverage of pesticide sprays. This product is not registered for use in California.

Pest Surface Active Agents

HYPER ACTIVE™ A patented adjuvant designed specifically for use with insecticides, fungicides and miticides. The spray coverage and penetration improvements are applicable for both plant and pest surfaces.

Wax Solubles

COHERE™ Film-free spreader-sticker adjuvant for fungicide and insecticide applications.

Translocating Agents
OPTIMA® A specialized formulation of surfactants and buffering agents which improves application coverage while buffering the spray mix pH. Optima also contains adjuvant ingredients known to improve the translocatability of certain herbicides and other pesticides.
