Monterey Herbicide Helper

Monterey Herbicide Helper, manufactured by Monterey, is an efficient non-ionic and crop oil concentrate combination-based surfactant that gives the best and fastest weed control results with herbicides. 

One of the key benefits of this herbicide spreader and penetrator is its ability to enhance herbicide absorption into plants. Weeds often have a waxy surface that can repel certain herbicides, making it difficult for the chemicals to penetrate the plant tissue. Monterey Herbicide Helper acts as a surfactant, breaking down this surface tension and allowing the herbicide to adhere and move into the weed tissue more easily. 

Monterey Herbicide Helper helps herbicides, including non-selective herbicides, spread evenly across the entire weed surface, ensuring full plant coverage and reducing the odds of missed areas. 

Tools Needed

Where to Use

Monterey Herbicide Helper can be used to control weeds on dry, land sites with selective and non-selective herbicides such as Poast Herbicide and Grass Getter. 

When to Use

Use this surfactant when you wish to increase weed control with your herbicide. 

Avoid using this product with selective herbicides when selectivity depends on not wetting the primary target.
