Premixing Pesticides
in
Turf Oil Provides: |
How Does It Work: Turf Oil is a combination of pure food grade soybean oil with emulsifiers and stabilizers. This combination is properly blended to serve as a carrier, surfactant, penetrant, and spreader/sticker. Carrier: Turf Oil has the unique advantage of serving as a pesticide carrier when premixed with the pesticide before adding to the spray tank containing water. Each oil droplet contains some of the pesticide active ingredient. Surfactant: Turf Oil, as a surfactant, improves the performance of pesticides on turf. When used at recommended rates, improved coverage may be expected. Penetrant: Turf Oil enhances the ability of a herbicide to move through the surface of the leaf and into the plant. Spreader/Sticker: The properties of Turf Oil enable pesticides to adhere to the leaf surface and resist washoff. Pesticides applied with Turf Oil can be rainfast in 20 minutes. |
