MSO Spray adjuvant
Voltage MSO spray adjuvant (methylated seed oil) contains high-quality methylated seed oil and emulsifiers. It enables rapid entry of chemicals into plants with waxy cuticles such as Summer Grass. In hot/dry conditions, Voltage MSO increases the results from most post emergent herbicides.
It is known for its ability to rapidly spread and penetrate leaf surfaces. It decreases the surface tension of chemical spray droplets, and increases the wetting ability on very waxy and hairy leaves.
Non-Ionic surfactants lower the surface tension of droplets in spray solution. They aid by spreading the spray solution more evenly over the leaf surface, and ensure better coverage of plant protection products. The result is better uptake, deposition and results from your spray.
The vegetable oil is an esterified spray oil, which improves the ability of chemicals to stick to the leaf, and improves droplet lifetime, deposition and retention. The vegetable oil being an ester is very important. This gives excellent penetrative properties, allows it to pass through waxy surfaces on difficult to kill and mature weeds, and improves herbicide performance.
Benefits of Voltage MSO Spray adjuvant
- Voltage gives great results on mature weeds that have waxy cuticles.
- It slows the time it takes for herbicides to dry on the leaf, and increases the potential for chemical uptake.
- As it breaks down leaf surface waxes, it improves chemical entry into the target leaf.
- You can mix this with Vertmax Duo and Vertmax pigments.
- Increases the results of most post-emergents such as Quinclorac, Diclofop-methyl (ProForce Destro) and Pylex.
- You can use this instead of non-ionic surfactants.
- Do not use MSO over seedlings.
- It is not as viscous than typical plant oils and
- Voltage MSO is made in Australia.

What is the chemical half life of a spray mix?
The chemical half-life is the amount of time it takes a pesticide to decay to half its original concentration. How quickly the pesticide degrades due to hydrolysis depends on pH, temperature, and to a lesser degree water hardness. Each half-life that passes reduces the amount of pesticide in the water by one half, i.e. 100% to 50% to 25% to 12.5% to 6.25%, etc. -
Can i use washing up liquid to make my weedkiller work better?
No you can't. Detergents are a cleansing agent, usually consisting of salts of long-chain aliphatic bases or acids that exert cleansing or oil dissolving and antimicrobial effects through a surface. These nonionic and anionic surfactants, can cause turf injury and also cause a reduction in weed control.Detergents are great for cleaning dishes and removing grease and grime. They are not designed to stick herbicides to plants or assist in forcing the herbicide into the plant so it can be translocated to the root system.The detergent’s mode of action is to dissolve grease and grime and can adversely impact the active ingredients mixed in spray solutions. -
Do I need a spray adjuvant to get a good result?
Any time you apply chemicals, read the label before you use them. This protocol is the same with spray adjuvants and even more so when using spray adjuvants with herbicides. Some products already contain adjuvants, so you do not need to add any more. In fact, adding more can result in a loss in performance. However, if it says on the label to use an adjuvant, you won't get the best results unless you do. Good examples of products where adjuvants are worth considering to give better chemical performance include:- Iprodione-based fungicides such as Voltar 500. Use a spray buffer, like Manta Ray buffer, to reduce the water pH. Iprodione is susceptible to alkaline hydrolysis at a pH of 7 and above.
- Herbicides like Sulfonylureas. Ideally, you should use a non-ionic surfactant like Scrubwet to give better chemical contact with the leaf.
-
If I use a spray adjuvant at the label rate, will adding more give better results?
More is not always better and and with chemical adjuvants this most certainly is the case. The rates on a label are there for a reason. Adding amounts above the label recommendations will potentially cause damage to non-target plants and pollution of the groundwater. -
Can I use pond water, salt water, or well water for a spray tank mix?
Water quality has an impact on the results of using turf chemicals. The most important of these are the water pH and water hardness. You should always use clean water that does not contain suspended soil etc. These ions can neutralize some herbicides or stop some adjuvants from working. Also, in Australia, tap water is artificially raised to around 8. At this level, it has a negative effect on herbicides like glyphosate and fungicides like iprodione. Do not use salt water, as it contains antagonistic salts and ions that can make a mix useless. -
What is the difference between a spray adjuvant and a surfactant?
Spray adjuvants are added to the spray tank to make the active ingredients being used work better. A surfactant is an adjuvant that improves the dispersal, spreading and wetting of a product. -
How can you increase the viscosity of spray mixtures?
Surfactants change the structure of waxes on leaves and stems, so that turf chemicals can enter more easily. There are also several drift reducing products that increase the viscosity of the spray mixture. Increasing the viscosity of spray mix is useful when you do not want to get any spray drift into sensitive areas. -
How can I tell if products I have not used before can be mixed together?
The product label gives information about adjuvant use. If specific information about the products you want to mix is not on the label, it is going to be wise to contact the manufacturer before you do any mixing. If you are still in doubt conduct a jar test, which will let you know if they are compatible.
