3 Aqua-King Plus Adjuvant For use with aquatic herbicides 95% active ingredient and 5% water High surfactant load Contains non-ionic surfactants, water conditioners, and antifoam Assists with spreading, penetrating, acidifying, and reducing foam 1-4 pints per 100 gallons Water Aqua-King Plus

4 Destiny HC Adjuvant High concentrated methylated soy oil Contains CornSorb Technology Designed to improve adhesion and coverage of plant surfaces Keeps plant surfaces moist longer (better than crop oil concentrates and non-ionic surfactants) Lower use rates than standard oils 2-4 pints per 100 gallons Water Destiny HC

5 Inergy Adjuvant Blend of modified vegetable oil and organosilicone surfactant system Provides the spread of an organosilicone with the longevity of an oil Assists with wetting and absorption of pesticides Greatly resists drying 3-5 pints per 100 gallons

6 Class Act Flex Adjuvant Water conditioner and non-ionic surfactant blend with some antifoam Water conditioners reduce hard water antagonism of certain herbicides (i.e. glyphosate) Contains CornSorb Technology NIS included for greater herbicide efficacy Highly effective with glyphosate 1 pint to 1 gallon per 100 gallons

7 InterLock Adjuvant Maximizes deposition and minimizes drift It does not increase spray thickness or encapsulate product Creates larger droplets which moves the pesticide to the target Compatible with fungicides, herbicides, insecticides, and other products Without InterLock With InterLock Rate of InterLock Spray Solution GPA More hits 4-6 oz./acre 5 to 25 GPA 8-10 oz./acre 25 to 50 GPA 10 oz/acre 50 + GPA More hits More hits
