Backrow Max Adjuvant for enhancing pre-em herbicides.

[Rich Beach]

Has anyone had experience with this product ? Is it worth the extra cost ?

 

[Goodolddays]

What is meant by enhancing? Increasing efficacy? Improving spray and better spread of product on the ground?

 

[FMF74]

We have used it hoping it would stop the chemical washing down to the rooting zone but I honestly don’t know if it works. Not much help I know.

Used it last couple of year and wouldn't be without it especially this year , holds it tighter in the top zone less chance of leaching to the seed.

 

[Goodolddays]

Holds what, how? Each active has different properties once in contact with the soil. Different adsorption, solubility and mobility. So how does one product impact on all of them?

Did you spray a part of field without it, to judge it's effectiveness?

Stuart sutherland, he will tell you all about it and how good it is

 

[Brisel]

I use it. So much of the weed control programme relies on good performance of the pre emergence herbicide that I am prepared to pay a bit of "insurance" in the hope of a % or 3 of better efficacy.

Note that neither of these are Backrow Max!

A friend with bg issues did some trials and the results were well worth the outlay , we are lighter soil than him and with these wetter backends we feel it holds it in the profile and doesn't dilute the efficacy. Think present weather may being pushing it though.
