- Application Technique
- Applications
- STEPGROW 80 is a nonylphenol ethoxylate-free, nonionic surfactant system designed to boost the performance of the pesticide by facilitating the uptake into the target pest. When added to the spray solution, STEPGROW 80 provides excellent spreading properties, thus improving pesticide coverage of the leaf surface.
- STEPGROW 80 finds utility where a pesticide label recommends surfactants, wetters or spreaders for herbicide, fungicide or insecticide applications.
