Kalo Spectra AMS

Kalo Spectra AMS is a highly active ammonium sulfate drift retardant based solution designed to reduce drift while enhancing herbicide performance by modifying solution pH and water hardness. The ammoniacal nitrogen in Spectra AMS has been found to promote herbicide (such as glyphosate) uptake in agricultural applications. Spectra AMS contains a special deposition and water conditioning complex which minimizes drift and contains emollients to keep the spray deposit moist for maximum absorption. Spectra AMS also contains a pH stable antifoam which helps control foaming during tank mixing.

Functions: Drift Control Agent, Water Conditioner

Applications & Uses

Application Technique
Directions For Use

For use with products registered for agricultural, forestry, industrial, municipal, noncropland, ornamental, rights-of-way and other uses. This product cannot be used for aquatic uses.

The addition of Spectra AMS to a tank mix should always follow the review of herbicide labels and their procedures, rates and application requirements.

Before using Spectra AMS, it is recommended that the user be familiar with or conduct a field test to check for phytotoxicity of the herbicide combination.

Recommended Use Rates

Glyphosate and other tank mixes:

Use a rate of 2.5% (2.5 gallons/100 gallons solution) for 8.5 pounds of ammonium sulfate per 100 gallons.

Use a rate of 5% (5 gallons/100 gallons solution) for 17 pounds of ammonium sulfate per 100 gallons.

For greater deposition enhancement, use the higher range of recommended use rate for this product.

Storage & Handling

Storage and Disposal

Storage: Store in a closed container. Do not allow to freeze. For optimum storage stability, store at temperatures between 40ºF (5ºC) and 90ºF (32ºC). Store at ambient temperature. Avoid contact with iron clad, copper and copper bearing materials. Avoid contact with eyes and skin. Do not store near oxidizing agents.

Disposal: Triple rinse, or equivalent, during mixing and loading. Recycling decontaminated containers is the best option of container 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/container in accordance with local/national regulations.
