WinField United Adds UltraLock Adjuvant for Enhanced Weed Control
March 13, 2022 Beginning in 2022, Winfield United is marketing new UltraLock adjuvant, an all-purpose drift and deposition aid, to enhance herbicide drift prevention and help growers achieve better weed control.
“Our team at WinField United can help retailers and farmers navigate through kinks in the supply chain to find the right herbicide solution with the agronomic expertise to help get the most out of their inputs,” said Andy Braunshausen, Vice President of Crop Protection Marketing for WinField United.
UltraLock helps manage weed outbreaks by combining an exclusive drift reduction agent (DRA) with InterLock, a drift reduction technology (DRT), to improve spray deposition. The result is 20% more leaf coverage than other DRAs, allowing more product to be intercepted by the plant for better weed control.
Compatible across herbicide programs, UltraLock helps enhance canopy depth by ensuring more active ingredient reaches the target for more effective applications, helping fight herbicide resistance. This includes reducing dicamba drift through its patent-pending formulation.
In a year with potential supply chain issues, choosing the right adjuvant can help alleviate some herbicide supply constraints, but it can also mean the difference between 50% and 90% weed control.
“Using full rates of herbicides with quality adjuvants improves leaf coverage, and herbicide efficacy can make constrained supplies go further,” Braunshausen stresses. “Getting an application right the first time with residual herbicides and the right adjuvants is crucial to reduce crop/weed competition, decrease the weed species present, and narrow weed seed distribution to improve control and optimize yields.”
