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.

This helps droplets reach targeted weeds and increases plant absorption. See pesticide label for registered crops, weeds controlled and application instructions.

GlyLoad™ is a product that was specifically developed to help growers achieve quick burndown. A characteristic important in many fallow, non crop, pre and post burndown situations. Glyphosate's mode of action is notoriously slow. This can be an issue with many growers who need to burndown weeds and get to the next thing in the production system. GlyLoad was specifically developed for these situations (Faster Burndown).

Strike Zone LC improves drift control and deposition regardless of the nozzle chosen for the application. It reduces spray droplet bounce and evaporation to enhance the absorption of active ingredients on target weeds. It is also resistant to pump shear, which helps manage driftable fines for a lower risk of off-target drift.

WipeOut XS is an ammonia-free, sodium hydroxide-based tank cleaner with twice the active ingredient as conventional tank cleaners. It cleans spray tanks and equipment quickly and thoroughly by penetrating and solubilizing residues, while preventing re-adherence during flushing. It is specially engineered to clean application equipment after using multiple mode-of-action tank mixes, especially those targeting resistant weed species, such as dicamba and 2,4-D used in over-the-top applications of modified crops. It elevates pH faster than other tank cleaners to quickly decompose crop protection products. By providing a system clean-out that keeps residue from clinging to the tank, it reduces the risk of contamination that can lead to crop damage.

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.
