Enhance is a registered premium crop oil concentrate, developed and manufactured in Australia to improve the activity of a wide range of herbicides and defoliants, by specifically improving penetration, wetting, and spreading properties of the applied active ingredients.
Features and benefits
Enhance improves the performance and cost-effectiveness of the applied active ingredient by:
- Improving penetration of the active ingredient.
- Improving spreading of active ingredient to the target plant by reducing surface tension of spray droplets.
- Reducing the loss of active ingredient due to drift or evaporation.
- Improving solution stability under low application rates.
- Reducing cold or hard water compatibility issues.
- Reducing the potential for clogging of blockage of spray nozzles.
Performance
In broadacre crops, Enhance helps get the best performance from the active ingredients, as the product is formulated specifically to reduce adverse issues that may impact efficacy. Developed by SACOA, Enhance – when mixed with new or existing active ingredients – has proven to provide comparatively higher levels of crop safety than most other registered crop oils; including in difficult conditions such as cold, moisture stress, or when tank mixing multiple actives.
Compatibility
Enhance is registered for use with an extensive range of active ingredients in a wide range of crop types including cereals, cotton, legumes, and canola.
It is recommended for multi-component tank mixes and is suitable for use with hard to disperse wettable granules and dry flowables when correct mixing procedure is followed.
How to use Enhance
Enhance is generally used at a rate between 0.5 to 1L per 100L as directed on the active ingredient labels. Rates may vary according to the specific active ingredient, or the prevailing weather or crop conditions, or weed size and load at the time of spraying. For further information, read the Enhance label and always follow directions for use on the active ingredient label.
Critical Information
Enhance Spray Adjuvant contains 598g per L paraffinic oil and 210g per L non-ionic surfactant and is an emulsifiable spraying oil to improve the wetting and spreading properties of herbicides and desiccation products.
