Xtend®
Plant Oil Adjuvant
Introduction
Xtend is a highly efficient organic sticker/ spreader, used with pesticides, herbicides, insecticides, and foliar nutrient sprays that maximizes their effectiveness while benefiting the surrounding environment.
Xtend is a unique blend of an emulsifier and highly degummed canola oil to produce a quality spreader/sticker.
As Xtend is an organic product, it degrades by a natural process and much faster than mineral oils, reducing the risk of pesticide or mineral oil build-up on crops or in the soil. At recommended dose rates, Xtend is safe to foliage, fruit and crops and is kind to the environment. The addition of vitamins A and E also benefit soil micro-organisms.
Benefits
Increased Target Penetration – Due to its composition, Xtend bonds with leaf and insect cuticles. This increases the penetration of the spray into the target.
Drift Reduction – The uniformity of droplet size reduces the very fi ne droplets associated with drift and off the target damage.
Odour Reduction – Xtend reduces offensive and toxic odours associated with some spray products.
Minimising Evaporation – Xtend puts a protective layer of oil over the spray droplet. This means your valuable spray will survive longer on the target.
Rainfast Enhancement – Works in adverse spraying conditions. Once applied, Xtend’s protective oil layer repels water, minimising wash-off if light rain falls soon after spraying.
Insect and Fungus Control – Growers are continually commenting that Xtend does have some activity on mites, aphids, scales, thrips and other insects.
UV Protectant – Xtend forms a protective film on the contact surface which helps prevent sunlight damage to plant tissue.
Less Water Required – as Xtend increases spread and coverage of sprays, less water is required as a carrier.
Application
Xtend can be mixed with most commonly used insecticides, herbicides, fungicides, and foliar fertilizer sprays, however you should always confirm before application
Xtend maximises the performance of horticultural and garden sprays by increasing the amount of spray that reaches and adheres to the sprayed surface, providing a natural safe carrier for your sprays. Xtend is premixed with the spray concentrate, and then diluted in water.
