GENERAL INFORMATION
KINETIC is a unique and superior nonionic wetting agent especially effective in postemergent, non-selective herbicide sprays. KINETIC allows for the rapid
spreading and absorption of herbicide sprays into the plant leaves and stems and is especially effective with water based herbicide formulations. Subject to the cautionary use statements set forth in the Directions for Use, KINETIC may be used with other pesticide and/or fertilizer products. Optimum application and consequent effects can be influenced by many factors. Consequently, it is recommended that careful observation of the spray deposit be made and adjuvant rates be adjusted accordingly. Applications should be made to ensure thorough coverage without excessive runoff of the application spray.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
WITH PRODUCTS REGISTERED FOR: AGRICULTURAL, AQUATIC, FORESTRY, INDUSTRIAL, NON-CROPLAND, ORNAMENTAL, RIGHTS-OF-WAY, TURF, MUNICIPAL, OTHER USES AND DEEP FEEDING TREES WITH PESTICIDES/FERTILIZERS AND MICRONUTRIENTS.
Ground, CDA: For optimum results use 12 ounces to 64 ounces per 100 gallons of spray.
Aerial: Use 32 ounces to 64 ounces per 100 gallons of spray.
Aquatic: Use 8 ounces to 32 ounces per 100 gallons of spray.
General Wetter/Spreader: Use 6 ounces to 12 ounces per 100 gallons of spray. KINETIC is also recommended for use with non-selective herbicides and other pesticides including those used to dessicate or defoliate. NOTE: Do not use KINETIC in spray tank mixes with Gibberellin or Gibberellic acid products to be used
on any citrus crop (Citrus spp.) grown for fresh market. The crop and rate guidelines are for use with pesticides whose labels recommend the use of a nonionic surfactant. Some pesticides, however, may require higher or lower surfactant rates for optimum effect. Follow the pesticide label directions when this
occurs. Prior to the addition of KINETI to spray tank mixes or use with a pesticide or fertilizer where a nonionic adjuvant is not specifically recommended but not
prohibited by the manufacturer, the user or application advisor must have experience with the combination or must have conducted a phytotoxicity trial.
For improved water penetration of hard-to-wet soils and the uniform distribution of applied moisture:
Lawns and Turf: Use KINETIC at 0.05%-0.125% v/v concentration.
Greens and Tees: Use KINETIC at 0.05%-0.125% v/v concentration.
Deep Feeding Trees: Use KINETIC at 0.10%-0.20% v/v concentration.
Applications of KINETIC through irrigation injection systems are possible provided that recommended use rates and dilutions are maintained and local, state, and federal guidelines are followed. Prior to the addition of KINETIC to spray tank mixes or use with a pesticide or fertilizer where a nonionic adjuvant is not specifically recommended but not prohibited by the manufacturer, the user or application advisor must have experience with the combination or must have conducted a phytotoxicity trial.
MIXING
1. Prior to any pesticide application, all spray mixing and application equipment must be clean. Carefully observe all cleaning directions on the pesticide label. To prevent or minimize foaming fill tank to 2/3 to 3/4 full of water. If foaming is anticipated, the addition of an antifoaming agent, such as FOAMBUSTER, should be added before pesticides, nutrients, or KINETIC is 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. Flowables
D. Water soluble pesticides
E. Emulsifiable concentrates
3. Continue agitation.
4. Add KINETIC and mix for 1 to 2 minutes with lower than normal agitation.
5. Continue filling tank maintaining minimal agitation.
6. For optimum results, spray mixes containing KINETIC should be applied within
36 hours after mixing.
