Helena Agri-Enterprises Kinetic - Nonionic Surfactant and Silicone Surfactant Blend

Helena Agri-Enterprises Kinetic - Nonionic Surfactant and Silicone Surfactant Blend is a unique nonionic organosilicone-based wetter/spreader/penetrant spray adjuvant. It is designed to provide rapid spreading and absorption of pesticide and nutrient sprays into plant leaves and stems. Because of its unique abilities, Kinetic can be used at much lower rates than conventional surfactants.

  • KINETIC®HV is a unique and superior nonionic wetting agent especially effective in postemergent, non-selective pesticide sprays. KINETIC® HV allows for the rapid spreading and absorption of pesticide sprays into the plant leaves and stems and is especially effective with water based herbicide formulations. Subject to the cautionary use statements set forth in the Directions for Use, KINETIC® HV may be used with other pesticide and/or fertilizer products. Optimum application and consequent effects can be influenced by many factors. Consequently, it is recommended that careful observation of the spray deposit be made and adjuvant rates be adjusted accordingly. Applications should be made to insure thorough coverage without excessive runoff of the application spray. In general, use the lowest rate of surfactant and the lowest volume of spray water recommended on the pesticide label. KINETIC® HV can positively affect pesticide spray application and pesticide efficacy. KINETIC® HV is recommended for use with those pesticides whose label recommends a nonionic wetter/spreader type adjuvant.

Applications & Uses

Applicable Crop
Directions for Use
  • Ground, CDA: Always use the rate recommended by the pesticide or nutrient label. This is generally within a .125%-.50% v/v concentration rate range, or 16 to 64 ounces/100 gallons of spray. Aerial: Always use the rate recommended by the pesticide or nutrient label. This is generally within a .125%-.50% v/v concentration rate range, or 16 to 64 ounces/100 gallons of spray.
  • Aquatic:KINETIC® HV is cleared for use in an aquatic environment. Always use the rate recommended by the pesticide or nutrient label. KINETIC® HV is also recommended for use with non-selective herbicides and other pesticides including those used to dessicate or defoliate. Note: Do not use KINETIC® HV in spray tank mixes with Gibberellin or Gibberellic acid products to be used on any citrus crop (citrus spp., fortunella spp.) grown for fresh market. The crop and rate guidelines are for use with pesticides whose labels recommend the use of a nonionic surfactant. Some pesticides, however, may require higher or lower surfactant rates for optimum effect. Follow the pesticide label directions when this occurs. Prior to the addition of KINETIC® HV to spray tank mixes or use with a pesticide or fertilizer where a nonionic adjuvant is not specifically recommended but not prohibited by the manufacturer, the user or application advisor must have experience with the combination or must have conducted a phytotoxicity trial. For improved water penetration of hard to wet soils and the uniform distribution of applied moisture:
  • Lawns and Turf: Use KINETIC® HV at .10%-.25% v/v concentration. Greens and Tees: Use KINETIC® HV at .10%-.25% v/v concentration. Deep Feeding Trees: Use KINETIC® HV at .20%-.40% v/v concentration. Applications of KINETIC® HV through irrigation injection systems are possible provided that recommended use rates and dilutions are maintained and local, state, and federal guidelines are followed.

Mixing Guidelines
  • Prior to any pesticide application all spray mixing and application equipment must be clean. Carefully observe all cleaning directions on the pesticide(s) label(s). To prevent or minimize foaming fill tank to 2/3 to 3/4 full of water. If foaming is anticipated the addition of an antifoaming agent, such as FOAMBUSTER™, should be added before pesticides, nutrients, or KINETIC® HV is added.
  • Add pesticides and/or fertilizers as directed by label or in the following
  1. Micronutrients and fertilizers
  2. Dry flowables and dispersible granules
  3. Flowables
  4. Water-soluble pesticides
  5. Emulsifiable concentrates
  • Continue agitation.
  • Add KINETIC® HV and mix for 1 to 2 minutes with lower-than-normal agitation.
  • Continue filling tank maintaining minimal agitation.
  • For optimum results, spray mixes containing KINETIC® HV should be applied within 36 hours after mixing.
