Hydrovant-fA, a new activator-sticker technology from Corbet Scientific, Jackson, Wyoming, offers a first-of-its-kind technology for row crops, Hydrovant-fA enhances the performance of crop inputs, including herbicides, liquid fertilizers, and bio-stimulants.
When tank mixed, Hydrovant-fA creates a dynamic coating to hold pesticides and fertilizers in place, optimizing the effectiveness of inputs while still allowing water and carbon dioxide to flow through to the plant. It is also a safe and gentle product that has never caused phytotoxicity in any trial on any crop or in any climate.
Cornell University research demonstrated that Hydrovant-fA increased retention of bifenthrin insecticide on corn leaves by 35% to 45% following a series of artificial rainfall events, compared to leaves sprayed with bifenthrin only. The research also revealed that Hydrovant-fA significantly increases the presence of bifenthrin in and on both dry and wet corn leaves.
Replicated research trials conducted by AgroCientifica in Argentina showed that when Hydrovant-fA is added to leading commercial glyphosate formulations, the treatments provided more than 95% control against key grass and broadleaf weeds, compared to 68% control for glyphosate alone at 40 days after application.
