As autumn and early winter weed control programs kick into gear, ensuring your herbicides are working as effectively as possible can make sure you get the best bang for your buck.
This year, level up your spray results by partnering your herbicide applications with Trouper Spray Adjuvant – a high-performance non-ionic adjuvant designed to rapidly penetrate weeds.
Why add Trouper to your tank mix?
When spraying herbicides like 2,4-D Amine, MCPA750, and Dicamba 500 this autumn, achieving full leaf coverage and strong uptake is critical for effective weed control, especially under adverse spraying conditions.
Autumn spraying presents unique challenges – cooler mornings and afternoons (dew), variable humidity, and dense, tough weed canopies all reduce herbicide absorption. Under these conditions, Wetter 1000 often struggles to deliver consistent droplet adhesion, spread, and penetration. This leads to patchy coverage, quicker droplet evaporation, and ultimately weaker herbicide performance.
That’s where Trouper Spray Adjuvant plays an important role.
Key Benefits of Using Trouper Spray Adjuvant:
✔️ Superior Penetration:
Trouper rapidly breaks through the waxy cuticle of weed leaves, allowing herbicides to penetrate deeper and more effectively. This leads to a stronger and more reliable knockdown, even on harder-to-kill species.
✔️ Improved Retention:
The oil-based nature of Trouper slows down droplet evaporation, extending the time herbicide actives stay in contact with the plant surface. This is critical for allowing more thorough absorption, especially during dry, windy, or cooler conditions common in autumn.
✔️ Enhanced Adhesion:
Trouper helps droplets stick firmly to the weed surface, minimising runoff and reducing chemical wastage. Better adhesion means more herbicide stays where it’s needed – on the target plant.
✔️ Optimal Spread:
By increasing droplet spread and coverage, Trouper ensures a more uniform application, leaving fewer gaps in your spray coverage and improving overall control across the weed population.
✔️ Reduced Spray Drift:
Trouper produces larger, heavier droplets that are less prone to drift, conserving your chemical for the intended site and lowering the risk of off-target damage and environmental contamination.
When to use Trouper Spray Adjuvant:
- In tank mixes with 24D Amine, MCPA, Dicamba, and similar herbicides.
- Across pasture this autumn.
- Whenever you need improved penetration, retention, and drift control in your spraying.
- Spraying under adverse conditions such as cooler mornings, variable humidity, and dense, tough weed canopies
- Add Trouper at the recommended label rates to ensure optimal herbicide performance.
- Available in 20L and 1000L shuttles
