Kalo Cruzado is a water conditioner and pH modifying adjuvant specifically used as a tank mix additive for glyphosate and other pesticides that are susceptible to antagonism from hard water minerals such as calcium, iron, manganese and other impurities. Cruzado prevents hard water mineral antagonism and improves absorption into plants to enhance efficacy on difficult to control weeds. Cruzado should be used with spray mixes that are registered for agricultural, horticultural, turf, ornamental, industrial and non-crop use.

Buffer P.S. is a blend of buffering agents designed to adjust the pH of alkaline waters and minimize hydrolysis of pesticides, which tend to decompose in alkaline spray solutions. Buffer P.S. also affects the wetting and spreading characteristics of a spray solution.

Transactive HC is a basic blend of nonionic surfactants, ammonium salts and a pH buffering system designed to replace crop oil concentrates and methylated seed oils in certain herbicide applications.

Buffer Protect NT™ functions as a buffering agent and is intended for use with Blossom Protect™ when applied to pome fruits (such as apple, crabapple, loquat, mayhaw, pear, Oriental pear, and quince) and walnuts. Do not apply Buffer Protect NT™ when pome fruit is present. Do not tank mix with copper-based products. Not for aquatic use. A specifically designed buffer to enhance the efficacy of Blossom Protect. Not registered for sale in California.

FS TankMax is a tank mix compatibility agent formulated to eliminate compatibility problems associated with tank mixing UAN/ATS solutions or suspension fertilizers with emulsifiable concentrates and flowable pesticides. FS TankMax can also funcition as an effective spreader and/or buffering agent depending on the use rate.

Penetrator Plus is a unique blend of light to mid-range petroleum oil and nonionic emulsifiers. It 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.

TraFix Zn XL combines a zinc additive with NutrAsyst Formulation Technology to improve fertilizer efficiency. Trafix Zn XL supplies critical zinc, while also improving plant root development. Its enhanced formulation makes TraFix Zn XL a useful addition to poly-phosphate starter fertilizer blends used in corn production.

Buffer Xtra Strength is a blend of concentrated buffering and conditioning agents designed to adjust the pH of alkaline waters, condition spray water and minimize hydrolysis of pesticides, which tend to decompose in alkaline spray solutions. Buffer Xtra Strength is especially effective in buffering spray solutions used in high-volume spray applications, with extremely hard water or with spray mixes containing alkaline components.

BorrePlex™ OA is a mixture of calcium lignosulfonate and lignosulfonic acid and can act as a chelating agent for micronutrients. BorrePlex OA is a modified organic acid derived from lignin, a nature-based and renewable raw material that contains carbon and sugars. This product acidifies irrigation water, improves water penetration, helps free up bound nutrients in alkaline soil, and supplies carbon to soil microorganisms. BorrePlex™ OA is a trademark owned by Borregaard AS.

Spray-Aide® is a versatile utility adjuvant containing a proprietary formulation containing polyethylene glycol, alkyl ether phosphate and potassium salts that perform five functions simultaneously in the spray tank. Spray-Aide is a concentrated compatibility, acidifier, and surfactant adjuvant. It is designed to improve spray tank compatibility of pesticides, lower the pH of spray tank water or liquid fertilizer solution, act as a spreader for use with pesticides, and to reduce soil crusting.

Interactive is a combination of translocating surfactants, wetting agents and ammonium salts designed to enhance the efficacy of herbicides. Interactive also contains sequestrants and de-foaming agents to improve spray application.

Aero Dyne-Amic is an effective formulation of specialized oils, emulsifiers and buffering agents designed for use with insecticides and fungicides applied aerially or in low-volume ground applications. It also acts as a buffer and can prevent the decomposition of pesticide active ingredients.

Hel-Fire is a combination of deposition agents, activators and water conditioners. It is designed to enhance the degree and speed of herbicide performance by improving spray deposition and uptake, while preventing antagonisms caused by poor water quality.

New Era Micro-Soff is an organic acid liquid formulation of citric and humic acid derivative blends.

Buffer Xtra Strength is a blend of concentrated buffering and conditioning agents designed to adjust the pH of alkaline waters, condition spray water and minimize hydrolysis of pesticides, which tend to decompose in alkaline spray solutions. Buffer Xtra Strength is especially effective in buffering spray solutions used in high-volume spray applications, with extremely hard water or with spray mixes containing alkaline components.

Inferno improves the deposition and retention of spray droplets, and is an effective pH buffer, water conditioner and anti-foam. Inferno significantly reduces the number of spray droplets under 100 microns, reducing spray drift by up to 75%. Additional studies demonstrated less glyphosate drift at 70cm with Inferno compared with glyphosate alone at 50cm (Source: Silsoe trials 2019), improving product performance and environmental profile. Inferno softens hard water by effective and rapid sequestration of Ca2+ and Mg2+. These hard water cations are bound and rendered unavailable in a soluble form.

Penetrator Plus is a unique blend of light to mid-range petroleum oil and nonionic emulsifiers. It 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.

Buffer P.S. is a blend of buffering agents designed to adjust the pH of alkaline waters and minimize hydrolysis of pesticides, which tend to decompose in alkaline spray solutions. Buffer P.S. also affects the wetting and spreading characteristics of a spray solution.
