Xtend™

Product Description and Characteristics

Organically certified sticker/spreader

Environmentally friendly, Xtend ™ is a highly efficient organic product, certified in Australia. It breaks down in a natural process much faster than other mineral oils, reduces the risk of pesticides, or the excessive accumulation of mineral oil on crops or in soil.

Xtend ™ application on the leaves and fruits of different crops is safe and does not harm the environment and health. The addition of vitamins A and E favors the action of microorganisms in the soil. It is absorbed quickly and it interacts with other products and preparations, enhancing and promoting their effect.

Benefits and effects of the application on crops
Images
Rain Resistance

Xtend ™ works under unfavorable spraying conditions, does not wash off, even if it starts to rain immediately after spraying. The oil repels the water and prevents the treated land areas from being washed away.

UV Protection

Xtend ™ withstands high temperatures. It forms a protective film that protects the aerial parts of plants from adverse weather conditions, sunburns (the effect of magnifying glass), pathogens, and prevents plant tissues from damage.

Enhances the Effect of Other Products/ Wide Range

Xtend ™ strengthens the action of other products, which leads to a significant decrease in the amount of water used for treatment. It is also recommended for decreasing the number of products used for plant protection with 10-20%.

Minimizes Evaporation

Xtend ™ puts a protective layer of oil on the droplets of the solution, which will last longer on the target.

No Visual Defects

Xtend ™ takes care of plants in a way that reduces the risk of injury when spraying delicate fruits (raspberry, strawberry).

No Loss Percentage

Xtend ™ encapsulates each droplet and prevents take-off, evaporation or washing of the active substance.

Economical

Besides being accessible and fully assimilated, Xtend ™ results in a low-end cost of the resulting effect.

Increased Capacity of Spreading

Xtend ™ increases efficiency through minimizing the drop to the state of mist and increasing the amount of drops in the working solution, which reaches the treated land surface and therefore covers a much larger area.

It does not Interfere with Pollination

Xtend ™ is a natural product that does not affect pollination in an adverse way.

Even More Favorable when Mixed

When mixed with chemicals, nutrient solutions or liquid fertilisers of GrowGreen, Xtend ™ reduces the flow and removes odor. It increases the contact coating and absorption of the solution from the target.

Neutralizes Odors

Xtend ™ reduces the unpleasant odor of the treatment, reduces residual and toxic odors from plant protection products (particularly important for greenhouse production).

20/40 ml / ha

FROST PROTECTION:

3-5 ml / l water

For pre-seeding at least 4 ml/l.
* Sensitive crops – citrus, fig and orchids

Xtend ™ is mixed with another product concentrate*, then diluted with water. The main function is to increase the efficiency of the products used.

Xtend ™ is compatible with other products. We advise you to perform a compatibility test before use.

Xtend should be premixed with the spray concentrate and then diluted in water.

Xtend can be mixed with most commonly used insecticides, herbicides, fungicides and foliar fertilisers. We recommend however, to always check the label of the product to be mixed for compatibility prior to application.

Do not use Xtend with Delan®, Targa®, Achieve® and Dodine.

A prime function of Xtend is to increase the efficiency of the products carried. Therefore, to avoid damaging the crop through excessive uptake of pesticides or other products, always test the rate to be applied by application to a small area prior to full scale spraying with a new product. It has been commonly noted that up to a 20% reduction in herbicide or pesticide may be warranted in order to offset the increased uptake.

Whether mixed with chemicals, nutrient sprays or biologicals such as Profert® Pasture or Microbe Plus®; Xtend will minimise spray drift, odours and run off. It will increase contact coverage and uptake by the spray target. This often reduces the need to frequently respray for pests.

Xtend maximises the performance of horticultural and garden sprays by increasing the amount of spray that reaches and adheres to the sprayed surface, providing a natural safe carrier for your sprays.

Xtend adheres to the waxy surfaces of foliage and insects, spreading out in a thin layer across the treated surface. It overcomes the problem of beaded droplets on waxy surfaces. Therefore it covers a much greater area, spreading the spray where it is needed.

Xtend is a certified organic product. It will degrade by natural process much faster than mineral oils, reducing the risk of pesticide or mineral oil build-up on crops or in the soil. Xtend is safe to use on all foliage, fruit and crops and is kind to the environment. The addition of vitamins A and E will also benefit soil micro-organisms.

Xtend should be stored at ambient temperature conditions (between 18C and 30C).
