Kalo Spectra Max Tank Mix contains water conditioning properties and a homogenized deposition agent designed to improve the precision of spray applications and reduce off-target drift. It is suitable for use on both conventional and transgenic crop varieties. When used at labeled rates, Spectra Max Tank Mix will automatically optimize the angle of the spray pattern, as the spray exits the nozzle, to give maximum coverage of target surfaces while minimizing “pattern fringe” which contains the most driftable particles. Spectra Max Tank Mix is intended for use as a tank-mix adjuvant where a deposition or drift control agent is required or recommended. Spectra Max Tank Mix technology has been proven to increase glyphosate activity. This product also contains emollients which may improve absorption of herbicides into leaf surfaces. Spectra Max Tank Mix contains buffering and sequestering agents to adjust pH to a neutral range. Spectra Max Tank Mix may be used when the pesticide label recommends the use of a deposition aid or drift control agent. It is not intended as substitute for surfactants or crop oil concentrates.

PreLoad is a water conditioner. AgraSyst built and patented a Hard Water Cation Scavenger System. The purpose of this system was to replace Ammonium Sulfate (AMS) as a tank mixing partner with glyphosate based herbicides. The original product that used this technology was Load Out spray adjuvant. Load Out was formulated to replace both the AMS and the surfactant. At the request of growers and retailers Agrasyst took the Hard Water Cation Scavenger system from Load Out and made PreLoad.

One Pass Micros® widens the conditions under which glyphosate, glufosinate, 2,4-d and other small organic acid herbicides may be applied, maintains the integrity of the spray diluent (water), chelates metal ions from the spray water and reduces herbicide stress inside the crop related to ion cofactor chelation. For use with acid active herbicides registered for agricultural and horticultural use. Not for aquatic use. One pass micro mzb 1:1 is a specialized utility modifier that acts as a water conditioner with built in compatibility agents that widen the conditions under which glyphosate and other weak acid herbicides can be applied while maintaining the integrity of the spray diluent (water) and reducing the chelation of the herbicides by metal ions. One pass micro mzb 1:1 protects weak acid herbicides from inactivation by hard water cations and added micronutrients to reduce the herbicide induced stress and delay in crop growth. For applicators who traditionally use a water conditioner/pH adjuster/buffering agent to deal with variable water quality from dugouts/ponds/wells and rivers and wish to prevent cation herbicide chelation by hard water as well as reducing stress related to herbicide chelation of metal ion cofactors inside the crop.
