Improve the wetting and spreading of spray solutions on leaf, stem or insect surfaces. The surface-active agents in 80/20 Surfactant are suitable for use wherever a pesticide label recommends a surfactant, spreader or wetter. The general purpose surfactant also contains a defoamer to help suppress the formation of foam in your spray solutions.

Where to use:

Use with insecticides, fungicides, herbicides, acaracides, defoliants, dessicants, PGR's and nutritionals

When to use:

  • When the pesticide label recommends surfactants, spreader or wetter
  • To improve wetting and spreading of agricultural sprays on leaf, stem or insect surfaces

How to use:

Always read and follow the label of the pesticide(s) and additive(s) to be used with this product. Always refer to the pesticide and additive label(s) for additional directions or precautions. Follow the most restrictive label.

Advice

  1. Feed And Forage Composition

    Things that initially appear to be complex often seem simple once they have been explained and are understood. Perhaps a good example is the composition of livestock feeds and forages. Many of the numerous terms used in describing these components are not commonly used by the general public, which naturally [...]

  2. The Case For Testing Forage

    Only a relatively small percentage of livestock producers regularly test their hay or other stored feed. Some are probably just not aware of, or not well informed about, this service. Unfortunately, many others know about it but apparently don’t consider it important enough to take the time and expend the [...]

  3. Stockpiling Warm Season Grasses

    Less-than-optimum weather conditions, as well as the cost of fertilizer, fuel, and other production inputs are factors that often make it difficult for livestock producers to make a profit.  Providing  nutrition during times when pasture is not available is one of the costliest aspects of producing livestock, so it makes [...]

  4. PASTURES TELL A STORY

    A livestock producer learns a lot about a pasture over time by managing it, but that is not the only way to obtain information about a given field. Often, a great deal can be gained from simple observation, because various plants are more likely to become established and thrive under [...]

  5. KEY HAY STORAGE CONCEPTS

    Providing nutrition when little or no pasture forage is available constitutes the single largest expense associated with most livestock operations. In most cases, hay is the most logical type of stored feed to use. Generally, the less hay required, the greater the cost effectiveness of an operation, and how hay [...]
