Kalo Fraction is a specially formulated blend of reduced rate water conditioning and sequestering agents intended for use with glyphosate and other herbicide spray applications that recommend the use of ammonium sulfate or nitrogen fertilizer as a tank mix additive. FRACTION is a spray grade granule that readily goes into solution. FRACTION improves weed control by conditioning and acidifying the water. FRACTION works to maximize herbicide performance by neutralizing antagonism from water impurities such as iron, calcium and magnesium. FRACTION is compatible with all glyphosate formulations and with separately applied drift retardants or nonionic surfactants and is approved for aquatic use. FRACTION can be used as a replacement for ammonium sulfate under most conditions. Where extremely hard water conditions exist in conjunction with difficult to control weeds, additional FRACTION or ammonium sulfate may be required.

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.

Kalo One-Ap XL is a water soluble blend of ammonium sulfate, nonionic surfactant, deposition aid and antifoam agent. One-Ap XL is formulated to improve the efficacy of glyphosatebased pesticides and other post emergence pesticides that recommend ammonium sulfate or nitrogen solution and nonionic surfactant. One-Ap XL contains non-ionic surfactant, to help increase the biological efficacy of pesticides. Ammonium sulfate helps to reduce tank mix antagonism. The anti foam agent in One-Ap XL reduces the formation of troublesome foam. One-Ap XL is micronized to aid in solubility and speed of tank mixing.

Kalo Regulaid is a nonionic spreader-activator for use in improving the effectiveness of foliar applied plant growth regulators or streptomycin applications. Regulaid provides superior wetting of the spray solution, uniform spray coverage and improved foliar penetration.

Kalo Octane 90 is a general purpose, nonionic spreader activator formulated to maximize the effectiveness of pesticides. Octane 90 is a unique, nonyl-phenol ethoxylate (NPE) free nonionic surfactant using new, unique surfactant technology. Octane 90 provides quick wetting, uniform droplet spreading, penetration and retention on leaf and stem surfaces. Octane 90 is not for aquatic use.

Kalo Anti-Foam is a fast, effective defoamer for use in suppressing foam. Controlling foam reduces filling time and lessens overflow waste. Anti-Foam improves spray performance. The combination of effective ingredients allows for very fast knockdown of troublesome foam if it should occur in the spray tank.

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.

Kalo Water FX lowers the spray water pH level to optimize the efficacy of insecticide, herbicide and fungicide products that perform better with a lower pH. Water FX is a blend of dry water-soluble granules that contain a nitrogen based water conditioner and acidifying agent. Water FX contains ammonium sulfate which neutralizes hard water minerals that can reduce the effectiveness of many plant control products.

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.

Kalo Spectra Max Tank Mix contains water conditioning properties and a homogenized deposition agent designed to improve the precision of spray applications and reduce off-target drift. It is suitable for use on both conventional and transgenic crop varieties. When used at labeled rates, Spectra Max Tank Mix will automatically optimize the angle of the spray pattern, as the spray exits the nozzle, to give maximum coverage of target surfaces while minimizing “pattern fringe” which contains the most driftable particles. Spectra Max Tank Mix is intended for use as a tank-mix adjuvant where a deposition or drift control agent is required or recommended. Spectra Max Tank Mix technology has been proven to increase glyphosate activity. This product also contains emollients which may improve absorption of herbicides into leaf surfaces. Spectra Max Tank Mix contains buffering and sequestering agents to adjust pH to a neutral range. Spectra Max Tank Mix may be used when the pesticide label recommends the use of a deposition aid or drift control agent. It is not intended as substitute for surfactants or crop oil concentrates.

Kalo Restore is intended for use with products registered for agricultural, horticultural, turf and ornamental, industrial and non-crop use as a tank mix adjuvant where water conditioning and spray deposition is important. Restore is formulated to enhance spray coverage and retention of pesticide products that recommend the use of ammonium sulfate or a nitrogen source. Restore improves the efficiency of various post-emergent herbicide sprays by minimizing antagonism of hard metal ions that are frequently present in most spray water sources. Restore contains a humectant ingredient that works to improve spray deposition and retention thereby improving the ability of agrichemical sprays to deposit and penetrate targeted surfaces. Water content of spray deposits can be increased which slows drying time and minimizes crystal formation of active ingredients which can impede plant uptake of certain active ingredients.

Kalo AMS Standard is sprayable grade ammonium sulfate that is milled and screened for enhanced solubility. AMS Standard is an effective water conditioning agent that minimizes hard water mineral antagonism in spray tank mixes.

Kalo Spray-Start is designed to improve the efficacy of glyphosates and other post emergence herbicides requiring a nitrogen solution or ammonium sulfate adjuvant. Ammonium salts reduce the antagonism of spray water with herbicides. The use rate of 9 pounds of Spray-Start per 100 gallons of spray solution will supply 8 1/2 pounds of ammonium sulfate per 100 gallons. Spray-Start can suppress spray drift and improve deposition by reducing spray fines. The antifoam agent in Spray-Start prevents the formation of troublesome foam. Spray-Start is milled to enhance solubility.

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.
