Ignite Recommendation

Great News!

TurboDrop® and AirMix® are the only air induction nozzles recommended by Bayer for use with Ignite® Herbicide on LibertyLink® crops!

Why? Because Greenleaf Technologies' nozzles are proven to produce the Medium droplet size, which gives the best coverage for contact chemicals.

And, unlike other air induction nozzles, TurboDrop® was designed for contact coverage and has been proving itself in these types of applications for over 11 years.


  

Application Work Summary ~ LibertyLink Soybean Grower Presentation 
DeWitt, AR Testing - 2008

  • Current Ignite label requires 15 GPA and lists several nozzles that may be used.
    • Gallonage/carrier volume: 15 GPA
    • Nozzle types: flat fan, air induction and others listed on label
    • Nozzle pressure: Pressure needed to provide medium spray droplets
    • Droplet size: medium size ~ 300 microns
  • Observations from application trial:
    • Flat-fan 11010 (60 psi, 15 GPA, M/C droplets) good control
    • TurboDrop TDXL11004 (72psi, 10GPA, M droplets) slightly better control
    • AI-04 (48 psi, 6 GPA, VC droplets) poor control
  • Future Studies:
    • Evaluate 2 or 3 volumes (10 and 15 GPA) set-up to provide Medium droplets (~300μvmd)
    • Consider allowing 10 GPA on the label if set-up provides medium droplets
    • Section 2EE allows 10 GPA in AR, TN, MS and LA.
COVERAGE IS KEY TO PERFORMANCE
