Kalo Variant

Kalo Variant contains technology with a unique molecular structure with a water-attracting, oxygenated component that delivers increased efficacy and residual performance of certain soil-applied herbicides. VARIANT can be applied separately for treatment of soils, or tank mixed with a wide range of herbicide sprays. VARIANT is tank mix compatible with a range of contact or systemic herbicides that are formulated for multiple modes of action.

Features & Benefits

Key Benefits
  • Extend herbicide spray performance.
    • Can be used in advance, or as a tank mix partner, to treat soils for extending performance of herbicide sprays
  • Keep herbicide in germination zone.
    • Unique blend of vegetable oil derived surfactant and resins keep more herbicide in the plant germination zone for extended control
  • Increase adsorption.
    • Improves herbicide performance by increasing the adsorption of soil residual herbicides in the upper soil profile
  • Affinity for active ingredients.
    • Provides a higher density of active ingredients and smaller molecular surface area that exhibit an affinity for the herbicide active ingredients
  • Overlap of herbicide programs.
    • Allows residual herbicide programs to overlap which assists in controlling resistant weeds
  • Polymerized resins/fatty acids.
    • Polymerized resins and fatty acids found in VARIANT enhance adsorption to soil and reduces leaching
  • Natural renewable resources.
    • The fatty compound in VARIANT is derived from naturally renewable resources
  • Rainfall conditions.
    • Improves activation of herbicides under low or high rainfall conditions

Directions For Use

Variant is most effective when applied in concentration as a spray application

Coarse Sand and Loam Type 12-16 oz/A
Medium Loam and Silt Loam, Sandy Clay Loam 6-20 oz/A
Fine Sandy Clay, Silt Clay Loam and Clay 4-8 oz/A

Mixing

Fill the spray tank with 50% water and add Variant without agitation while filling the remaining water volume. Begin agitation. When using a pre-mixer or inductor, fill with at least 20% of desired water volume. Unless instructed otherwise by the labels of tank mix partners, add Variant first to the tank spray mix.

Safety & Health

Hazard Statements
  • Causes serious eye irritation.
Precautionary Statements
  • Wash thoroughly after handling.
  • Wear protective gloves/eye/face protection.
  • 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 advice/attention.
  • If on skin clothing: Wash skin with plenty of soap and water.
  • If skin irritation occurs, get medical advice/attention.

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.
