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.

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 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 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 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 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 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 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.
