• Spray droplet management tool–Increases the opportunity for
canopy penetration and coverage–Manipulates the full droplet
spectrum –Provides more uniform droplet sizes
Features and Benefits

• Unique proprietary formulation–Combination of paraffinic and
modified seed oils–Excellent emulsifiers for easy mixing
of fungicides in water and/or slow release nitrogen (SRN28)
–Drift reduction additive for droplet management
Features and Benefits

• Downdraft with herbicides and fungicides–Provides increased overall plant
coverage–Reduces droplet evaporation –Reduces spray drift liability–Allows for increased weed control and
disease resistance

Features and Benefits
• Best adjuvant option on corn and soybean fungicide applications–Increases fungicide effectiveness –Ensures that the active ingredient
gets to the intended target –Extends drying time allowing the
fungicide more time to work

Fungicide Features and Benefits
• Improved overall plant health– Boosts a plant’s natural defense system– Improved photosynthesis process– Increased stress tolerance– Improved utilization of nutrients
• Control of major foliar diseases– Increased tolerance to bacterial & viral infections
• Stronger stalks and better grain quality– Faster, more efficient harvest
• Increased yield opportunity !!

Recommendations
• Excellent for use with aerial or ground applied fungicides
• Can be used in combination with herbicides and insecticides
• Easily cleans off equipment• Use Rate - 4 ounces per acre

Summary
• Downdraft enhances activity by ensuring that the active ingredient gets to the intended target
• Downdraft delivers more droplets into the canopy and onto the leaves increasing effectiveness
• Downdraft helps increase yields and profit opportunities!!
