It's never been more important to understand your spray water quality to get the best performance from your herbicide during summer knockdown.
To support farmers, Vicchem is offering free water testing and water analysis reports providing clear insights into their spray water quality. This allows farmers to tailor their spray mixes for improved herbicide performance - especially valuable for enhancing summer knockdown in preparation for autumn sowing.
For the best results in summer knockdown, Vicchem recommends incorporating OUTRIGHT 770 Spray Adjuvant into your herbicide mixes. This innovative solution offers a triple-action advantage by combining ammonium sulphate, penetrating oil, and non-ionic surfactants in one convenient pack. Designed to tackle hard water challenges, OUTRIGHT 770 ensures optimal herbicide performance with ease.
“We understand how critical water quality is for effective herbicide application,” said Bill Dowdle, CEO of Vicchem.
“Our free water testing service and analysis reports provide farmers and their agronomists with the insights they need to boost productivity and achieve better commercial outcomes.”
Proven efficacy across hard water conditions
Recent greenhouse pot trials conducted by Plant Science Consulting on behalf of Vicchem, demonstrated the superior performance of OUTRIGHT 770 under hard water conditions ranging from 50 to 1,000 ppm. The trials showed that at rates of 0.5 per cent (pc) to 1.0 pc, OUTRIGHT 770 outperformed ammonium sulphate (AMS) and acidifying adjuvants like VC-700, delivering significantly better control of Annual Ryegrass by glyphosate.
“The unique combination of Hasten technology penetrating oil, ammonium sulphate, and non-ionic surfactants in OUTRIGHT 770 exceeded expectations in its management of hardwater,” said Richard Holzknecht, Vicchem’s Research, Development, and Extension Manager.
“It offers farmers an effective, versatile solution for both normal and very hard water conditions.”
With Vicchem’s free water testing, detailed water analysis report, OUTRIGHT 770 Spray Adjuvant and your preferred herbicide, achieving your best summer knockdown has never been easier.
