3 Herbicide Adjuvant Solutions to Help Combat Resistant Weeds

Resistant weeds are an ongoing problem for farmers across the U.S. Simply increasing herbicide rates isn’t a sustainable solution. That’s where adjuvants come into play. Adjuvants can improve herbicide performance, improving plant uptake, coverage, and overall effectiveness. Choosing the right adjuvant has become increasingly important. Look no further—NanoPro® is the adjuvant for the job.

Improve Herbicide Uptake 

It only takes a single weed surviving a herbicide spray to start a population of resistant weeds in a field. Designing the right spray mix and rate to fit each field’s unique conditions takes patience and effort. Even with the most advanced chemistry, uptake is crucial to get a complete plant kill.

This is where nanotechnology really shines. Nanotechnology uses tiny nanoparticles that “load” onto the solution they’re mixed with (in this case, a herbicide solution). The nanoparticles then enter the plant cell through endocytosis. This unique mode of action allows thousands of molecules to enter at one time to deliver more of the solution applied at a faster rate. Our customers love seeing the faster burndown with NanoPro®.

Maximize Spray Coverage and Retention

Every pass matters. Every droplet matters. Why throw money at inputs that don’t work? The nanoparticles in NanoPro® stick readily to the leaf surface and don’t let go. 

NanoPro® is proven to increase active ingredient absorption by up to 20% by getting the molecules into the leaf faster. Better herbicide absorption means…

• Better rainfastness / Less runoff
• Less money wasted on unnecessary inputs and passes
• More uniform performance

Optimize Tank Mix Performance

Most modern spray programs include a variety of products, none of which can do what NanoPro® does. Adjuvant quality is important, as it helps improve overall spray performance. Even the most advanced adjuvant and surfactant technologies benefit from the addition of NanoPro® due to its unique mode of action.

Better tank mix efficiency means more consistent weed control. By using just 4 ounces per acre, NanoPro® can give farmers up to a 3:1 return on their investment. Better weed control means more long-term success. 

The Answer: NanoPro® 

Herbicide resistance requires an inclusive approach. NanoPro® uses a unique mode of action that helps growers get more from every application. 

If you want better uptake, better performance, and better weed control, look no further.
