Technical Details & Test Data
- Eurofins 2018 Trial: Blackgrass control
The addition of Inferno at 0.5% (0.5 liters / 100 liters spray volume) significantly increased the level of blackgrass control, the higher rate 1% (1.0 liter / 100 liters spray gave a further significant improvement in control (p≤0.05).

Effective Drift Reduction
Independent studies conducted by Silsoe Spray Applications Unit have demonstrated that the inclusion of 1% Inferno can reduce the amount of spray drift by up to 75% (see Figure 1). This achieved by using polyacrylamide polymers that reduce the number of fine spray droplets (<100 microns) that are most prone to drift, from 19.49% to 9.49% resulting increasing the Volume Median Diameter (VMD), see Table 1 below.
