Sustain®
Sustain® is a new, unique class of herbicide adjuvant with non-ionic properties based on Miller’s proprietary Pinolene® terpene polymer technology this agricultural spray adjuvant is designed to enhance herbicide performance by improving the contact, wetting and adhesion of pesticides and fertilizers on plant and soil surfaces.
Product overview
Sustain® is a new, unique class of herbicide adjuvant with non-ionic properties based on Miller’s proprietary Pinolene® terpene polymer technology this agricultural spray adjuvant is designed to enhance herbicide performance by improving the contact, wetting and adhesion of pesticides and fertilizers on plant and soil surfaces. One of our most sustainable agricultural adjuvants, Sustain® forms a soft, microscopic film that polymerizes, protecting spray deposits from rainfall erosion, volatility, and ultraviolet (UV) degradation.
Features
- Forms a soft elastic film
- Does not foam or clog nozzles
- Organic compliant
*product is not certified organic in Chile
Benefits
- Easy-to-use and economical
- Helps improve residual herbicide control, UV breakdown, and volatilization
- Improves agrochemical efficacy of the applied pesticide
- Reduces lateral movement and leaching
- Minimal phytotoxic risk to plants
- More consistent efficacy of bare ground control for industrial vegetation management applications
Application
Key crops include, but are not limited to: potatoes, oranges and pistachios
Sustain® can be used to improve most root and shoot inhibitor herbicides
Under most conditions, apply sprays containing Sustain® during daylight and at least one half hour before an anticipated rain. Sunlight, direct or indirect, for this time period is needed for the film to set.
Sustain® may be applied by ground equipment
Sustain® may be used with most herbicide products registered for: Agricultural, Forestry, Ornamental, Industrial Vegetation and Non-Cropland uses
Review label for specific application rates and recommendations
It has a unique fit to help improve pre-emergent herbicides and has benefited herbicides like: Flumioxazin, Pendimethalin, Oxyflourofen, Metribuzin. Ethalfluralin, and more
How does it work?
Sustain® is effective in limiting the leaching and migration of soil active herbicides. Once applied, it begins to polymerize and form an elastic, microscopic film in the environment. This in turn helps to provide longevity of herbicides in the root and shoot zone, thereby maximizing herbicide activity in the target area and reducing leaching.
Once applied, herbicides begin to degrade in the environment in a number of ways. This sustainable adjuvant helps to mitigate a portion of these environmental factors within the soil.
