🌱 Water Volume: The Overlooked Factor in Spray Success 🌱

(But not by us)

Did you know water is just the carrier to help achieve optimal coverage and pe*******on?

Yet many ornamental growers use far more water than necessary!

Our new video tackles this critical aspect of spray application:
• Why ornamentals don't need drastically higher water rates than agricultural crops
• How excessive water (1000-3000 L/ha) leads to significant runoff and product waste
• Finding the right balance for your specific crop

Even the best adjuvants can't compensate for poorly chosen water volumes!

Learn how to make smarter decisions for your spray programme.

💦 Is Your Volume Costing You ? 💦

Too much water when spraying ornamentals doesn't just waste product - it reduces effectiveness!

In our latest Art of Application video, we reveal why the traditional high water rates for ornamentals might be doing more harm than good.

The sweet spot? Usually between 400-800 L/ha - much less than many growers use!

Too little water means poor coverage, but too much causes runoff, with more product ending up on the ground than on your plants.

🌿 Are Your Spray Droplets Working Hard Enough? 🌿

Ornamental crops often have waxy leaf surfaces that naturally repel water - making spray application challenging!

Our new video reveals how can spray performance by:
• Improving droplet spread for better coverage
• Enhancing retention to prevent waste
• Controlling uptake based on product type

⚠️ But beware - not all products need adjuvants! ⚠️

Some, like , already have them built in.

Learn how to make the right choices for your specific situation.
