Natural plant oils build up, creating a barrier against exterior moisture, including pesticides
Adjuvants and amendments
Whether battling to gain control of drift and deposition management, looking for a product that fights both crop oils and surfactants, or looking for a adhesive properties to resist wash-off and evaporation, there are answers to your problems.
Adjuvants in the surfactant category are designed to improve the dispersing/emulsifying, absorbing, spreading, wetting, sticking, and penetrating properties of a pesticide spray mixture.
Word from the wise
"Research has shown that up to 70% of the effectiveness of pesticides depends on how they are applied. A product may be good, but it has to be applied correctly to reach its full potential. That’s where adjuvants come in."
Nitrogen fertilizers can also be used as adjuvants. Humectants, such as are found in ammonium sulfate (AMS), are water-soluble adjuvants that slow the rate of herbicide drying and allow for enhanced absorption.
