Factors like severe temperatures, high wind speeds, nozzles used, and small droplet size can increase drift and decrease the performance of crop protection products. Take this course to help your customers minimize yield loss from disease and environmental stress starting with on-target fungicide applications using drift and deposition aid adjuvants.

After successful completion of this course, you will be able to share with customers:

  • How drift and deposition aids improve on-target placement of pesticides
  • The benefits and types of drift and deposition aids
  • The best time to apply fungicide
  • How to increase plant throughput through nitrogen assimilation and photosynthesis
  • How to minimize yield loss from environmental and oxidative stress
