Follow on Google News | Citrus Farmer Reduces Chemical Apps, Rates with Argosy-RFOne-year trial shows fewer applications and dramatic reduction in glyphosate by using Argosy-RF to prolong effectiveness of applications
By: Performance Nutrition David Garrett has been farming citrus in Polk County for 45 years. He conducted the trial at his grove for the past two years. "I treated this grove twice last year as opposed to like four or five times before by just adding Argosy to my glyphosate," With the reduced rates and fewer applications, Garrett reduced his overall glyphosate usage by about 80%. Argosy-RF is an environmentally safe polymer adjuvant designed to keep chemical applications on the plant and weed longer. Argosy-RF helps to reduce the rate of chemical pesticides and increases the interval between sprayings. This saves time and money. How it does this is, it's rain-fast and it's elastic. Argosy-RF keeps the active ingredient on the target, even through irrigation and rain events. It also stretches as the plants or weeds grow, and every time it's moistened, it redistributes active ingredients on the target, including the new growth. Argosy-RF is completely inert, so it's safe for the applicator and safe for the environment. By adding Argosy-RF to his glyphosate herbicide application, Garrett achieved excellent weed control with fewer chemical applications. "It takes longer for the weeds to die but they die almost completely. You don't have many escapes," Garrett said.
