AM-AG RADAR™ improves the deposition of pesticide applications by maximizing the number of spray droplets within the ideal size range for chemical efficacy. RADAR™ maximizes the amount of spray solution that hits the plant and is taken up by target pests by minimizing the number of small droplets susceptible to drift, and large droplets that may bounce upon impact. Key Performance Components • Drift control that ”right sizes” the droplets. • Does not produce large droplets that run off the leaves. • Puts the liquid where it needs to be to maximize efficacy. • Mixes well with a wide range of tank mixes, reducing blending and clogging problems. What makes RADAR™ Unique? Reduces drift and improves deposition without the use of polymers or lecithin.

AM-AG RADAR™ improves the deposition of pesticide applications by maximizing the number of spray droplets within the ideal size range for chemical efficacy. RADAR™ maximizes the amount of spray solution that hits the plant and is taken up by target pests by minimizing the number of small droplets susceptible to drift, and large droplets that may bounce upon impact.

Key Performance Components

• Drift control that ”right sizes” the droplets.

• Does not produce large droplets that run off the leaves.

• Puts the liquid where it needs to be to maximize efficacy.

• Mixes well with a wide range of tank mixes, reducing blending and clogging problems.

What makes RADAR™ Unique?• Reduces drift and improves deposition without the use of polymers or lecithin.

Use RatesDetermine proper rate of product based on type of application and type of formulation being used. Product should be the last additive prior to completely filling the spray tank with water.

Pesticide Formulation Suggested Use Rates Per AcreEmulsifiable Concentrates and Aqueous Based Solutions 4 – 6 ouncesDry Flowable-Wettable Powders and Liquid Flowables 4 ouncesMost Insecticides 2 – 4 ounces

NOTE: Do not exceed 1% v/v of the spray solution.

Optimizing Product PerformanceRADAR™ creates an emulsion. If the tank mix is allowed to sit, it will separate slowly over time. Stirring for a couple of minutes will be necessary after this time to recreate the emulsion.

NOTE: The degree of drift hazard varies with each application. The pesticide(s) in use, application conditions and surrounding vegetation all have an impact on the need for controlling drift. This product is intended to help reduce drift while improving deposition and should be used in conjunction with appropriate application equipment, common sense judgment and sound practices when spraying pesticides. When combining new or unfamiliar components in any tank mix, the applicator should conduct phytotoxicity and jar tests to ensure compatibility and avoid damage to non-targeted species.

Mixing InstructionsPrior to making any pesticide application, be sure to use clean mixing and application equipment. Carefully follow the observations on the product label. A jar test should be conducted for compatibility before mixing the individual components into the spray tank. Fill spray tank three-quarter full with water and begin agitation. Add RADAR™ and continue the agitation process. Add pesticides and/or fertilizers as directed by the product label or use the following mixing order if no other insrtrucions are available:

1. Micronutrients and fertilizers.2. Dry flowables & water dispersible granules. ( Be sure the granules have dissolved well prior to adding the remainding ingredients ).

3. Water soluble pesticides.4. Flowables & emulsifiable concentrates.5. Continue agitation and complete filling of the spray tank.
