Superior Drift Control
Tebuconazole (TBZ) 430SC (15ml/L) DV50 (µm) RS (Relative Span)
No adjuvant 107.6 1.34 STEPGROW MP-ADJ (0.1% by wt) 121 1.2 STEPGROW MP-ADJ (0.2% by wt) 115.6 1.28 Market Benchmark (0.1% by wt) 104.3 1.4 STEPGROW MP-ADJ increases the droplet size and provides more uniform droplets, while the Market Benchmark has a negative effect on both the droplet size and size uniformity.
Superior Wetting and Spreading
- Without a tank-mix adjuvant, TBZ 430 SC droplets are not able to spread on the rice leaf properly.
- Adding STEPGROW MP-ADJ (0.1 – 0.2%) to the tank-mix improved wetting and spreading performance.
Safe for Crops
- STEPGROW MP-ADJ showed good crop safety on strawberry flowers, fruits and young leaves.
Improved Pesticide Bioefficacy
- Without a tank-mix adjuvant, Butachlor + Propanil 700EC (1L/Ha) was less effective against common barnyard grass (Echinochloa crus-galli) in a rice paddy.
- Adding STEPGROW MP-ADJ (0.1%) improved efficacy of herbicide.
- STEPGROW MP-ADJ is superior to the market benchmark.
