Hel-Fire
GENERAL INFORMATION
HEL-FIRE is a specialized formulation of deposition agents, activators, and water conditioners designed to enhance the degree and speed of herbicide performance. HEL-FIRE can positively affect both pesticide spray application and pesticide efficacy. HELFIRE can eliminate the antagonistic effects of hard water on herbicide efficacy. HEL-FIRE is designed primarily to be applied with herbicides which utilize glyphosate as the active ingredient. *However, it is also suitable and effective for most pesticides and nutritional products which can be used with wetter/spreader type adjuvants. Optimum application and consequent effects can be influenced by many factors. Therefore, it is recommended that careful observation of the spray deposit be made and the adjuvant rate be adjusted accordingly to ensure thorough coverage without undue runoff. If mixing Sulfonyl-ureas with HEL-FIRE and burn-down herbicides, spray within 24 hours after mixing.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
FOR USE WITH HERBICIDES REGISTERED FOR: AGRICULTURAL, FORESTRY, INDUSTRIAL, MUNICIPAL, ORNAMENTAL, RIGHTS-OF-WAY, TURF, NON-CROPLAND
AND OTHER USES.
The addition of an adjuvant to some pesticides or pesticide tank mix combinations may cause phytotoxicity to the foliage and/or fruit of susceptible crops. Prior to the addition of HELFIRE to spray tank mixes, the user or application advisor must have experience with the combination or must have conducted a phytotoxicity trial. HEL-FIRE may be applied by ground, CDA, or aerial spray equipment. For most applications, use enough HEL-FIRE to allow for uniform wetting and deposition of the spray onto leaf surfaces without undue runoff. Ground, Aerial, CDA: Use 2 – 8 pints per 100 gallons of spray. For use with glyphosate or sulfosate type herbicides, use a minimum of 4 pints per 100 gallons. Water conditioning: HEL-FIRE should be used at 1– 2 quarts per 100 gallons of spray solution when used in place of 8.5 –17 pounds of ammonium sulfate. Buffering: To obtain an initial buffering effect, use a minimum of 3 pints per 100 gallons of spray. Rates may be adjusted as water conditions vary. The use of a pH measuring device is recommended to determine a suitable HEL-FIRE rate. Do not add adjuvant at a level that would exceed 5% v/v of the finished spray volume.
NOTE: The above use recommendations are considered to be adequate for most uses. Some herbicides, however, may require higher or lower rates for optimum effect. Follow the pesticide label directions when this occurs.
MIXING
Prior to any pesticide application all spray mixing and application equipment must bethoroughly cleaned. Carefully observe all cleaning directions on the pesticide label. Do not mix HEL-FIRE with undiluted pesticides.
