Novita DF Downforce Adjuvant
Novita DF Downforce Adjuvant is an efficient deposition aid and drift control agent that keeps land and aquatic pesticides grounded and effective in target areas.
11/04/25
Novita DF Downforce Adjuvant, manufactured by Novita Solutions LLC, is a powerful deposition aid and drift control agent designed to improve the performance, placement, and precision of your pesticide spray applications.
Unlike standard surfactants or stickers, Downforce works specifically on the physical properties of the spray solution, modifying droplet size and weight to minimize driftable fines. This advanced drift control agent uses a combination of polymer technology and surfactant action to make spray droplets heavier, larger, and more effective at sticking and spreading where you need them to.
Novita DF Downforce Adjuvant is a superior deposition aid and drift control agent that helps to avoid unwanted damage to sensitive plant sites, less waste from wind or evaporation, and ensures coverage looks as professional as possible. It’s compatible, cost-effective, and engineered for the real-world demands of agriculture, turf, and ornamental spray programs.
Tools Needed
You will need aerial application equipment or a spray rig.
It must be mixed with a pesticide.
How to Use
- Step 1: Determine how much Novita DF Downforce Adjuvant to use by measuring the square footage of the treatment area. Find the square footage by measuring the treatment area's length and width in feet, then multiply them together (length X width = square footage). For acreage, take the square footage and divide it by one acre (square footage / 43,560 sq. ft. = acres). For 2-10 GPA, apply 4 ounces of Novita DF Downfroce Adjuvant per acre. For 15-30 GPA, use 6 to 12 ounces of product per acre. For 30-50 GPA, apply 12 to 20 ounces of product per acre. For 50 and more GPA, use 20 to 32 ounces of product per acre. Do not exceed 1% v/v.
- Step 2: Fill the tank halfway with water, and pour in the selected pesticides. Add Novita DF Downforce last. Top off with the remaining water and agitate well.
- Step 3: Spray as instructed in your chosen pesticide label.
Where to Use
Novita DF Downforce Adjuvant can be used with pesticides labeled for land or aquatic sites.
When to Use
It is best used anytime precision matters during pesticide sprays.
Safety Information
Novita DF Downforce Adjuvant is safe for people and pets when applied according to the product label instructions. Always wear the proper personal protective equipment (PPE) when handling and applying this product.
Special Considerations
It does not produce large spray droplets like other polymer drift products. Internal cohesion of the components helps to prevent droplet shearing into fines which move off-target into sensitive areas.
