Describe Broadrange 55 herbicide…whats so special about it?
It’s a 2, 4-D that has MOISTURE LOCK TECHNOLOGY…the DEA form of 2, 4-D keeps the leaf wetter, longer and increases movement through the leaf cuticle.
What buffering agent is best suited for fungicides and insecticides? Why?
TRI-FOL ……. lowers the pH of the water because some insecticides, fungicides and herbicides can breakdown and become less stable at a pH higher than 7.
SYL-TAC…. What is it?
a premium ESO (Esterified Seed Oil) and Silicone blend that provides excellent spreading and wetting of the spray material.
What is the Wilbur Ellis branded ESO?
SYL-TAC
What product will improve the coverage and soil adhesion of pre-emergent herbicide applications?
EFFICAX
What does EFFICAX do?
It extends the life of the pre-emergent by increasing the spray deposits, therefore getting better coverage and improved adhesion to the soil particles. Soil Retention
What Wilbur Ellis Surfactant will (buffer) lower the pH of the spray mix and act as a surfactant?
Denali-EA
What is Denali?
Buffering agent and Surfactant. Used when the tank mix needs to have a lower pH.
What is Renegade?
a blend of methylated seed oil (MSO), UAN (urea ammonium nitrate) solution and a non-ionic surfactant.
(Oil/Nitrogen/Surfactant)
What does Renegade do? what at the modes of action?
It increases retention, wetting and penetration as well as improving the stability of spray tank mixes
What is Hasten?
ESO that’s used as a surfactant concentrate
What is Diligence?
A spray adjuvant that is designed specifically for ground sprays. Reduces drift.
What product would be an option when you need a surfactant as well as a nitrogen source?
Brimstone
Cayuse Plus
What buffering agent would be used to raise the pH?
CLIMB
What buffering agent would be used to lower the pH of the spray tank water?
TRI-FOL
Denali-EA
What is a good option for a post-emergent amine herbicide?
Foundation
Trimec 992
What W.E. product is similar to Dismiss?
PORTFOLIO 4F

What does the Will-Gro Weed and Feed have in it?
25-3-5 with 2,4-D and Dicamba
What would be the reason to apply Antero?
Wet conditions in the forecast but you need to apply a contact fungicide or insecticide. This product resists wash off by rain or irrigation.
If wet conditions are in the forecast but you need to spray a contact fungicide or insecticide….what should you use?
Antero
What is special about Aquate Pro?
Four Actives. provides Infiltration and Hydration benefits. gets water off surface but holds it in the root zone. Flexible use rates for different soil types
How many active ingredients in Aquate Pro?
Four - two infiltration and two hydration
describe Bronc Max
Bronc Max - Ammonium Sulfate and Buffer
When using a glyphosate based herbicide…what is a good thing to add to the spray mix?
Ammonium Sulfate
What Link product has 20% Phosphite with Chelated Micronutrients?
Link Quality
What is in Link Quality?
20% potassium phosphite with chelated iron and manganese
What is it called when a product breaks down from a high pH water mixture?
Alkaline Hydrolysis
What are the benefits of Humic Acid?
- Increases nutrient availability and uptake
- improves soil structure and CEC
- Improves soil moisture holding capacity
How do soil microbes help plants?
- Increases the ability of plants to tolerate stress because Nutrio helps to build a stronger root system.
- Increase nutrient availability
- mineralize organic matter in the soil
- increase root mass and root hair proliferation because of the symbiotic relationship microbes have with root exudes
Which of our products contain Amino Acids?
Fourtiplex
Dynamic Iron
Link K24
Why are Amino Acids beneficial for plants
- Stimulates the plant by helping with micronutrient complexing
- Complexed micronutrients are quickly and easily absorbed
- Provide the plant with immediate access to essential nutrients
Describe Ndemand technology
A true long chain slow-release nitrogen and the safest nitrogen source in the marketplace
What products contain Potassium Acetate?
Link Fourtiplex
Link K24
Link Dynamic Iron
What source of potassium does K24 and Fourtiplex have?
Potassium Acetate
Why is Potassium Acetate beneficial to plants?
It’s THE MOST available form of potassium on the market. It contains complexed amino acids that are immediately taken up by the plant.
- Potassium improve sugar and carbohydrate production
- It helps to move water through the plant
What is Till-it Elematic?
a micronutrient granule
What is Versatile Iron Shield?
What is in it?
Contains Chelated Iron and Humic Acid
- provides the most available iron source in any soil pH
- 2.5% Chelated iron and 4% Humic Acid
What is beneficial about Acetate being used at the carrier for the Potassium in Dynamic Iron and Fourtiplex?
The Potassium has an Organic-Based carrier, the Acetate Molecule. Acetate is a natural plant metabolite which makes it more rapidly and readily taken up by plants which in turn leads to increased potassium use efficiency and higher productivity.
Acetate: What does it do besides being a carrier for K in our products?
- Acetate is a very important part of signaling compounds between the plant and Beneficial Soil Microbes and Mycorrhizal Fungi
- It provides a base for which many plant compounds are formed, including: fatty acids, phenolic acids, amino acids, chlorophyll and carotenoids.
What about Potassium Acetate makes it safe to apply as a foliar application.
It has a very low salt index, therefore a low burn potential.
What is in Link Fourtiplex?
What is the analysis?
Soy Protein Hydrolysate Molasses Kelp (Ecklonia Maxima) Potassium Acetate 2-0-3
What is in Link K23?
Potassium Carbonate Potassium Thiosulfate Urea Humic Acid 15% Sulfur
Describe Link K24 and a recommended rate
0-0-24 (24% Potassium Acetate)
5oz/1000 = 0.10 lb K/1000
If you need to get a contact application out in wet conditions, what product would be beneficial to use?
Antero -EA
Casoron active ingredient
Dichlobanil
How do phosphites help plants?
They boost the plants own natural defenses and enhances root growth and development. Increases root biomass.
