Kalo Cruzado

Kalo Cruzado is a water conditioner and pH modifying adjuvant specifically used as a tank mix additive for glyphosate and other pesticides that are susceptible to antagonism from hard water minerals such as calcium, iron, manganese and other impurities. Cruzado prevents hard water mineral antagonism and improves absorption into plants to enhance efficacy on difficult to control weeds. Cruzado should be used with spray mixes that are registered for agricultural, horticultural, turf, ornamental, industrial and non-crop use.

Applications & Uses

Application Technique
Directions For Use

After water hardness has been determined, use the following rates:
If water hardness is less than 200 ppm: Use 0.25% v/v (1 quart) of Cruzado per 100 gallons of spray mixture.
If water hardness is between 200-500 ppm: Use 0.50% v/v (2 quarts) of Cruzado per 100 gallons of spray mixture.
If water hardness is greater than 500 ppm: Use 1.0% v/v (1 gallon) of Cruzado per 100 gallons of spray mixture.
For all Applications: Do not substitute Cruzado for water required by the label. Spray equipment should be rinsed thoroughly after use. Unless instructed otherwise by pesticide label, always add Cruzado first to the spray water.
NOTE: Do not use Cruzado with sulfonylurea herbicides or other mixtures that cannot tolerate low pH levels. Cruzado is not for aquatic use.

Storage and Disposal

Storage, Disposal & Spill

Do not contaminate water, food, or feed by storage or disposal.

Storage: Store locked up. Store in a corrosive resistant container with a resistant inner liner. Store in tightly closed containers in a dry well-ventilated area away from excessive heat and incompatible materials. Disposal: Do not reuse empty container. Triple rinse or equivalent during mixing and loading and add rinsate to spray tank. Recycling decontaminated containers is best option for disposal. The Agricultural Container Recycling Council (ACRC) operates the national recycling program. To contact your state and local ACRC recycler, visit www.acrecycle.org. Dispose of contents and container in accordance with local/national regulations.

Spill: Absorb spillage to prevent material damage. In the event of a major spill, fire or other emergency, call CHEMTREC at (800) 424-9300.
