What is agral?

What is agral?

Agral 90 is a non-ionic liquid, wetting and spreading agent which can be mixed with any spray without affecting its chemical properties. It aids the wetting of waxy leaf surfaces, insects and fungi and by spreading the spray more evenly over the leaf surface and hence improving the efficacy of the spray.

What is an agricultural surfactant?

Agricultural surfactants are mainly used with water-based herbicide spray solutions as they accentuate the emulsifying, dispersing, spreading, wetting, or other surface modifying properties of liquids. This dominance can be attributed to the high adoption of precision farming and protected agriculture in this region.

Is surfactant the same as crop oil?

Nonionic surfactants are comprised of linear or nonyl-phenol alcohols and/or fatty acids. Crop oil concentrates are composed of a blend of paraffinic-based petroleum oil and surfactants. This surfactant class reduces surface tension and improves herbicide uptake and leaf surface spreading.

How do you mix 80/20 surfactant?

HERBICIDES – Use “80-20” SURFACTANT at the rate of 1 quart per 100 gallons of spray mixture to obtain 1/4% surfactant. Use 2 quarts per 100 gallons of spray mixture to obtain 1/2% surfactant.

Can you use too much surfactant?

At the end of almost every herbicide recommendation that I or anyone else makes, usually comes the comment “and add a quart of oil” or “don’t forget a surfactant.” For most herbicide recommendations these statements are usually correct.

What kind of Spray can I use with agral?

AGRAL is a spray additive designed for use with fungicides, insecticides and herbicides. It increases wetting and improves spray coverage. AGRAL can be used with alkaline sprays and mixes easily with all types of water. It will not injure the most tender foliage if used as directed.

When to add agral to Gramoxone 360 Pro spray?

Add AGRAL to Gramoxone 360 Pro sprays at a rate of 250 mL/100 L. Gramoxone contains wetting agents and AGRAL is only required if dilution rates are excessive, ie low chemical rates and high water rates per ha. If Gramoxone rate is less that the ratio of 400 mL per 100 L spray volume, add 100 mL AGRAL per 100 L of spray mix.

What can agral be used for in fire fighting?

AGRAL is an efficient aid to fire fighting. It increases the wetting power of water which assists in quick control and mopping up of fires. NOT TO BE USED FOR ANY PURPOSE, OR IN ANY MANNER, CONTRARY TO THIS LABEL UNLESS AUTHORISED UNDER APPROPRIATE LEGISLATION

Which is the best surfactant for herbicide uptake?

A versatile, non-ionic surfactant that improves uptake of a wide spectrum of herbicides, insecticides and fungicides. Proven performance and reliability have made Agral 90 the preferred choice of growers.
