Alligare 90 Surfactant Wetting Agent
Alligare 90 Surfactant Wetting Agent
Alligare 90 Surfactant Wetting Agent is an effective non-ionic low-foam surfactant that is used to enhance various types of pesticides, insecticides, and herbicides. When applied, the active ingredient spreads evenly and help your chosen pesticide remain on treated surface areas for maximum results.
Alligare 90 Surfactant Wetting Agent, manufactured by Alligare, is a easy to use non-ionic surfactant that helps increase the effectiveness of various pest control and lawn care products.
With its active ingredient, this surfactant will help to enhance insecticides, fungicides, and herbicides by helping the chemicals stick to treated areas. When used with insecticides, Alligare 90 Surfactant Wetting Agent allows the product to remain on treated areas longer so more insects come into contact with the active ingredient. When used with fungicides, this product helps the product spread evenly across damaged areas. When applied with herbicides, it helps the active ingredient penetrate the vegetation and soil so results occur more quickly.
Alligare 90 Surfactant Wetting Agent provides quick wetting, more uniform distribution of various insecticides, fungicides, herbicides, and PGR's by breaking down the waxy coating on the leaf or plant surface on both dry land and aquatic sites.

Q:Can Alligare 90 be sued safely on vegetables?8/3/22A:Alligare 90 Surfactant Wetting Agent is not specifically labeled for vegetables. For agricultural crops, we recommend using Methylated Seed Oil (MSO), which is also a surfactant to be used with pesticides to increase its effectiveness. https://www.solutionsstores.com/methylated-seed-oil-mso

Q:Will this harm central Texas native bent grass?2/10/22A:Given that this is only a surfactant, I would say no. Your area of concern is what are you delivering with this. Read the label of whatever you are applying along with this. For Bentgrass closely observe the MINIMUM amounts recommended. Knowing that surfactants are there to increase the effectiveness of applied products on the target nuisance plant the side effects on the turf will be increased. As always....the label is your friend.
