Features & Benefits

Product Highlights
  • Versatile - Improves efficacy when used with fungicides and herbicides
  • Compatibilizer - Superior hydrotrope that also works as compatibilizer
  • Humectant - Adds humectancy to formulations and softens/hydrates wax layer
  • Low Toxicity - Readily biodegradable and not persistent, addresses concerns over bio accumulative formulation aids
  • Considered “clean label” - no eye or skin irritation, no classified ingredients
  • Low foaming
  • Soluble in strong caustic or acid solutions

Applications & Uses

Tank Mix Compatibility

2-Way compatibility challenge

WDG sample

  • Farmozine 900 WDG (Atrazine)

Gly-IPA 480 samples

  • TAE blend, 15%
  • Adsee AMP40, 15%

Dilution test set

  • Each cylinder is filled with Farmozine WDG and inverted 10x
  • Addition of each Gly-IPA sample in to each cylinder
  • Inverted 10x and left to stand at RT

 

Adsee AMP40 is suitable compatibilizer for Atrazine and Glyphosate combos.

Bio-efficacy against Powdery Mildew on Grapes

Adsee AMP40 - Bio-Efficacy Against Powdery Mildew On Grapes

 

Target pest: Powdery mildew (Erysiphe necator)

Fungicide: Azoxystrobin 250 g/L SC

Doses: 0.02 % (v/v) Azoxystrobin along with 0.03 % (v/v) adjuvant in 15 L water

 

In addition to Azoxytrobin 250 g/L SC, trials with Fluopyram + Tebuconazole (200+200) g/L SC, Metrafenone 50 g/L SC , Dimethomorph 50 g/kg WP, Thiophanate-methyl 700 WP have shown that Adsee AMP 40, when used as a tank-mix adjuvant, shows superior control over early and late blight as well as powdery mildew.

When Adsee AMP40 used, nearly 20% increase in harvestable yield can be achieved. No phytotoxicity (no chlorosis, burning, necrosis, epinasty or russeting) is caused by any of the adjuvants tested. Adsee AMP40 can be readily formulated in-can.
