Kalo Capstar

Kalo Capstar is a unique tank mix adjuvant formulation containing water conditioners, surfactants, activators, deposition, acidifying agents and antifoam. Capstar reduces the antagonistic effects of hard spray water. Spray water containing dissolved minerals can have a negative impact on herbicide efficacy. Capstar’s specialized formulation will lower the pH of the spray solution which helps increase the effectiveness of weak acid herbicides such as glyphosate. Capstar suppresses off-target drift and enhances canopy penetration by providing a more uniform spray pattern, thereby increasing spray deposition and coverage of targeted surfaces. Capstar contains a nonionic surfactant system to optimize wetting and spreading of the spray droplet. Capstar slows spray droplet drying time to minimize droplet evaporation and improve absorption during low humidity conditions. Capstar contains antifoam to reduce troublesome foam. Capstar is not for aquatic use.

Applications & Uses

Application Technique
Directions For Use

Always read and follow adjuvant use instructions found on the pesticide label before using. For use with pesticides registered for use for agriculture, forestry, industrial municipal, non-cropland and right-of-way. Do not use Capstar with sulfonamide herbicides or sulfonylurea herbicides or other mixtures that cannot tolerate low pH levels.

Use Rates

Use 2 quarts (0.50% v/v) to 3 quarts (0.75% v/v) of Capstar in 100 gallons of spray water. For enhanced deposition and drift suppression, use the higher rate. Directions For Use Always read and follow adjuvant use instructions found on the pesticide label before using. For use with pesticides registered for use for agriculture, forestry, industrial municipal, non-cropland and right-of-way. Do not use Capstar with sulfonamide herbicides or sulfonylurea herbicides or other mixtures that cannot tolerate low pH levels.

Mixing

Unless otherwise instructed by pesticide label, fill the spray tank one-half full with water and begin agitation. Add Capstar and continue agitation. Continue filling the tank adding pesticides and fertilizers as directed by product labels.

First Aid

If in Eyes: Rinse continuously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses if present and easy to do; continue rinsing. If eye irritation persists, get medical attention.

If Swallowed: Rinse mouth. Have person sip a glass of water if able to swallow. Do not induce vomiting unless told to do so by a poison control center or doctor. Do not give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. If you feel unwell, call a poison control center or physician immediately for treatment advice.

If Inhaled: Move person to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing. If person is not breathing, call 911 or an ambulance, then give artificial respiration, preferably mouth-to-mouth if possible. If you feel unwell, call a poison control center or physician for further treatment advice.

If on Skin or Clothing: Rinse skin immediately with plenty of soap and water for 15 to 20 minutes. If skin irritation occurs, get medical attention. Take off contaminated clothing and wash before reuse.
