Surfactants, aduvants and other crop protection products
Thinning agents, post-harvest biocides and more
Extenders, wetting agents, sticking agents and fogging agents are all adjuvants, which can be defined as a substance other than water, and not itself a pesticide, which enhances the effectiveness of the pesticide with which it is used.Adjuvants are used in all kinds of crops for many purposes, which include:
- Armobreak, which improves the uptake of nitrogen at late dormancy in apples to induce even budbreak
- Bond-Xtra, an organosilicone super-spreader, deposition/retention agent to enhance the spreading and foliage deposition and retention of fungicides, insecticides, plant growth regulators and nutrients.
- Latron B-1956 surfactant, a general purpose wetting agent especially for use in horticulture.
An extensive range of adjuvants are available and our trained field and branch customer service representatives can help you select the best product for your purpose. We also recommend you check product use with your exporter, where applicable.
