Fungicide Features and Benefits • Improved overall plant health • Boosts a plant’s natural defense system • Improved photosynthesis process • Increased stress tolerance • Improved utilization of nutrients • Control of major foliar diseases • Increased tolerance to bacterial & viral infections • Stronger stalks and better grain quality • Faster, more efficient harvest • Increased yield opportunity !!
Adjuvant Features and Benefits • Adjuvants with fungicides • Provides increased overall plant coverage • Reduces fungicide droplet evaporation • Reduces spray drift liability • Allows for increased disease resistance
Features and Benefits • Best adjuvant option on corn and soybean fungicide applications • Increases fungicide effectiveness • Ensures that the active ingredient gets to the intended target • Extends drying time allowing the fungicide more time to work
Features and Benefits • Unique proprietary formulation • Combination of paraffinic and modified seed oils • Excellent emulsifiers for easy mixing of fungicides in water and/or slow release nitrogen (SRN28) • Drift reduction additive for droplet management
Features and Benefits • Spray droplet management tool • Increases the opportunity for canopy penetration and coverage • Manipulates the full droplet spectrum • Provides more uniform droplet sizes
