Cide Winder
GENERAL INFORMATION
CIDE WINDER is a patent pending nonionic spray adjuvant designed to enhance the application and performance of pesticides, plant growth regulators, and nutritionals. The addition of CIDE WINDER to a spray tank improves pesticide application by modifying the wetting, spreading, penetration, and deposition characteristics of the application. CIDE WINDER is an activator type adjuvant and can positively affect pesticide spray application and pesticide efficacy depending on product use rate. Optimum application and effects, however, can be influenced by the crop, pest, spray equipment, spray volume, pressure, droplet size, spray mixture, and environmental factors. Consequently, it is recommended that careful observations of the spray deposit be made and CIDE WINDER rates be adjusted
accordingly.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
FOR USE WITH PRODUCTS APPLIED IN: AGRICULTURAL, AQUATIC, FORESTRY, INDUSTRIAL, MUNICIPAL, NON-CROPLAND, RIGHTS-OF-WAY, AND OTHER USES.
The addition of a spray adjuvant to some pesticides, pesticide combinations, and/or fertilizers may cause phytotoxicity to the foliage and/or fruit of susceptible crops or non-targeted vegetation. Prior to the application of CIDE WINDER to a spray mix, the user or applicator must have experience with the combination or must have conducted a phytotoxicity trial.
WHEN USED AS A WETTING, SPREADING, & DEPOSITION AGENT:
Ground: Use 2 – 3 pints per 100 gallons of spray mix or 0.25 – 0.375% by volume.
Air: Use 1– 2 oz. per acre in spray volumes of 1– 4 GPA. For spray volumes greater than 5 GPA, use 4 oz./acre.
WHEN USED FOR ABSORPTION AND PENETRATION ENHANCEMENT:
Ground: Use 4 – 8 pints per 100 gallons of spray mix or 0.5 –1.0% by volume.
Air: Use 4 oz. per acre in spray volumes less than 5 GPA. For spray volumes greater than 5 GPA, use 5 oz./acre.
CAUTION: Do not add CIDE WINDER to spray mixes that contain copper fungicides, DSMA, sulfur, or spinosad based insecticides. Do not mix with oxidizing agents unless these materials are in solution.
MIXING
(1) Prior to any pesticide application, all spray mixing and application equipment must be clean. Carefully observe all cleaning directions on the pesticide(s) label(s). To prevent or minimize foaming, fill tank to 2/3 to 3/4 full of water and add an antifoaming agent, such as FOAMBUSTER to the spray tank before othercomponents are added. (2) Add pesticides and/or fertilizers as directed by label or in the following sequence:
A. Micronutrients and fertilizers
B. Dry flowables and dispersible granules
C. Wettable powders
D. Flowables
E. Water soluble pesticides
F. Emulsifiable concentrates
(3) Continue agitation
(4) Add CIDE WINDER and mix for 1 to 2 minutes with lower than normal agitation to minimize foam generation. Continue filling tank with the remaining amount of required water.
NOTES: NEVER add CIDE WINDER directly to undiluted pesticides! Pesticide and fertilizer products should be mixed in as much water as possible prior to the addition of CIDE WINDER.
CIDE WINDER does not contain organosilicone surfactants. Terminology on this label is consistent with definitions approved by Subcommittee E-35.22 on Pesticide Formulations and Application Systems under the jurisdiction of ASTM Subcommittee E-35
