Increase pesticide efficiency with plant-based Cide Kick II surfactant
Cide-Kick and USDA Bio-Based products are plant-based surfactants that have been certified to be made with renewable resources. Cide-Kick II is formulated with 100% d’limonene, a naturally occurring compound found in the resin of pines. These surfactants function as wetting agents, activators, and penetrants, helping to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of a variety of pesticides, including herbicides and algaecides.
Cide-Kick is specifically designed to improve pesticide efficiency by increasing penetration, coverage, and overall effectiveness of almost any herbicide. It is a nonionic surfactant that is engineered to spread the active ingredient throughout the canopy, which can result in improved control of algae when used with algaecides. It also helps herbicides penetrate and be absorbed by plants more effectively by breaking down the waxy cuticles on leaf surfaces.
These surfactants are compatible with most aquatic and terrestrial herbicides, algaecides, and other pesticides, making them suitable for use in a variety of settings, including bodies of water, agriculture, citrus, turf, forest site preparation, and roadside vegetation. When used with herbicides in forest vegetation management, Cide-Kick, an USDA Bio-Based product, has been shown to improve control of unwanted vegetation, resulting in improved forest health and management outcomes.
Overall, this product offers an effective and environmentally friendly option for improving the effectiveness of pesticides while also supporting sustainability and renewable resource use.
