Hearing of univoq causing some serious issues to sprayers in terms of diaphragms perishing, even heard of one that’s had to be re piped. Haven’t had any issues here and have used just over 1000l.
Anyone heard anything?

My agronomist said he had heard of quite a few problems. Scorching quite bad aswell.

The univoq saga is all over faceache. Buggering up rubber on sprayers ect but have also heard of crop scorch. It's been said it's to do with the solvents in the spray.
I was going to suggest it must be the solvent, guess it wasn't a problem with air powered plot sprayers.

I did some Sunday, with 5kg of foliar urea and a few other things like fulvic acid, citric acid, molasses. Looks okay to me I think scorch would have shown up by now?

Yep, all over FB Sprayer driver page
Agrifac are mentioned more than other brands so may be down to what type of hose and diaphragms they use ??
I’ve put 170 ltrs on so far, but it is a frothy/drifty product I would say

Haven't noticed any scorch from univoq tbh and I have some that has been on 10days. Also think i have had sprayer issues with univoq.
Have had to drop the terpal from a lot of my T2 though as ears were splitting.
