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. | | To find out more about how Xtend® can help you, click on a particular sector (see right), or contact us on 1800 355 913. |
