Indicate 5®   

Water Conditioner with built in pH Indicator

Indicate 5 is a water conditioner designed to adjust pH in water so that maximum efficacy of foliar sprays can be realized. Indicate 5 will acidify all alkaline waters as well as help to neutralize the dissolved salts present in hard waters.  Mixing Indicate 5 into your spray solution requires no lab tests, litmus paper, or guesswork. Indicate 5 turns the solution pink when the optimum pH has been achieved.

  • Acidifies
  • Automatically indicates pH
  • Buffers
  • Wets, spreads, and penetrates
  • Aids compatibility and reduces volatility

Acidifying Action

Indicate 5 is added to the spray solution after foliar fertilizers and before pesticides are added. Most pesticides work best in acidic conditions.  Indicate 5 reduces the pH in your spray water, overcoming the tendency of dissolved salts to resist pH change.

Built-in pH Indicator

Indicate 5 is the only water conditioner/adjuvant with a patented built-in pH indicator. Indicate 5 eliminates the need for pH testing equipment in the
laboratory or in the field - all you need to do is to check the color of your spray solution. If you cannot see into your spray tank, you can easily determine how much Indicate 5 you need by mixing a small amount of solution in a calibrated bottle and then adding Indicate 5 to your spray tank in the same proportion.


Prolec™

Penetrant, Acidifier, Nonionic Surfactant, Deposition & Drift Control

Brandt’s PROLEC is a unique lecithin based, low foaming tank mix additive that provides improves application results in 4 key areas: leaf penetration, wetting, spreading and drift control all with a single product. Based on Soy Lecithin, Prolec maximizes application results by its unique ability to penetrate through the waxy layer of foliage while still maintaining the integrity of the plant's protective wax layer. This ability to deliver the spray application without damaging that waxy layer greatly reduces burn potential.


Insure®

Conditioner for Water Hardness

Hard water contains high levels of calcium, magnesium, and iron ions that bond to many pesticides, post applied herbicides, insecticides and fungicides rendering them ineffective.

Insure cures that problem by tieing up those hard water ions first, before chemicals are added to the spray tank.   Additionally, Insure has a beneficial effect on  reducing spray water pH.

When certain chemical spray solutions are exposed to pH above 7.5, they can undergo a condition known as alkaline hydrolysis and break down to products that are either less effective or totally ineffective.

  • Prevents hard water ions from damaging pesticides
  • Protects against alkaline hydrolysis
  • Reduces pH to slightly acid levels
  • Speeds pesticide activity with faster absorption
  • Prevents tank mix antagonism


Infield®

Spray Grade Ammonium Sulfate with Drift and Foam Control

INFIELD is a highly active ammonium sulfate formulation, designed to reduce drift while enhancing herbicide performance by modifying solution pH and water hardness. The ammoniacal nitrogen in Infield has been found to promote herbicide uptake in agricultural applications, plus eliminates cold water sedimentation and nozzle plugging commonly associated with dry AMS. Insure also contains a pH stable antifoam agent which helps control foaming during tank mixing. 

Easy to use liquid formulation, INFIELD disperses immediately into the spray solution, avoiding any messy or undissolved product. Infield also contains a unique polymer for its drift controlling capabilities.   Drift accounts for 33 % of misplaced pesticide applications (Farmland Insurance 1996).

  • Easy to use liquid formulation
  • Contains drift retardant and antifoaming agents
  • Disperses immediately
  • Contains ammonium ions that enhance the uptake
  • Increases the size and weight of spray droplets
  • 2.5 gallons is equal to 8.5 lbs. of dry ammonium sulfate


AMS

Spray Grade Liquid Ammonium Sulfate

The addition of Ammonium Sulfate Solution in the spray solution has been proven to increase the performance of certain herbicides on emerged annual weeds under adverse growing conditions.
Ammonium Sulfate solution should be added to the water in the spray tank prior to adding herbicides or surfactants.

Each gallon of Brandt AMS solution will provide 3.33 lb. of Ammonium Sulfate. This product has been processed to be compatible with most pesticides and sprayers.


MEGA-AMS            

Enhanced Liquid AMS

Based on pioneering development work done by a Nobel Laureate research team, Brandt’s MEGA-AMS was developed to increase the crop’s ability to transform sunlight into sugars.

The unique complex carbohydrate technology in MEGA-AMS enhances photosynthesis that forms glucose, which in association with ammonium nitrogen will form amino acids, the principal functioning molecules in a plant.

  • Only 2.5 to 5 gallons per 100 gallons
  • Enhances penetration of Glyphosate
  • Enhances uptake of Sulfur
  • Stimulates photosynthesis
  • Increases size and weight of droplets
  • Enhances the metabolism of foliar applied Nitrogen
  • Softens hard water
