Novel dual-action adjuvant launched
A NEW "dual-action" adjuvant for use with vegetable and pea fungicides and insecticides has been launched by Loveland Industries.
A mix of organo-silicone wetter and latex sticker, Designer is said to work by improving product spread and making sure the chemical film then sticks better to leaves.
Such properties are particularly useful on the waxy leaves of brassicas, onions and pulses, says the firms David Shelton. In independent tests the new product is claimed to have boosted fungicide retention on peas by 139% compared to a standard non-ionic wetter. *
