The Rural Voice, 1988-06, Page 761 WHAT'S NEW ENHANCE IMPROVES PESTICIDE POWER A non-ionic wetting agent from Britain promises to increase the effec- tiveness of fungicides, herbicides, and insecticides. Enhance is a surfactant which im- proves performance under a wide range of conditions. Many plants, and some insects and fungi, develop waxy sur- faces which are difficult to wet. Over - wintered weeds in particular develop a thick epidermal tissue and a wax layer. Enhance reduces the surface tension of the sprayed liquid so that it remains on its target long enough to take effect. It is highly concentrated, contains 60 per cent active ingredients, and is added to the spray tank. The quantity used ranges from 60 mL per 1,000 Litres for general use to 300 mL per 1,000 litres on crops and pests that are difficult to wet. Somewhat higher concentrations are used with desiccants.

Settings for the sprayer and flow sensor are easy to change and are auto- matically saved when the monitor is off. Both the Turbine and the Magnetic Flow Sensors can be used with the 8414 Sprayer Monitor. For more information, contact the eastern Canadian distributor Robert H.
