Zaar
GENERAL INFORMATION
ZAAR is a specialized blend of methylated seed oils, surfactants, and water conditioning agents designed for use with a broad range of pesticides. ZAAR is capable of adjusting spray application water to pH 4-5. At this range – water quality issues due to carbonates/bicarbonates are addressed. The addition of ZAAR to a spray tank improves pesticide application by modifying the wetting and deposition characteristics of the spray solution resulting in a more even and uniform spray deposit. ZAAR can positively affect pesticide spray application and pesticide efficacy. Optimum application and effects, however, can be influenced by the crop, pest, spray equipment, spray volume, pressure, droplet size, spray mixture, environmental factors, and other factors. Consequently, it is recommended that careful observation of the spray deposit be made and adjuvant concentrations be adjusted accordingly.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
NOT FOR AQUATIC USE
FOR USE WITH PRODUCTS REGISTERED FOR: AGRICULTURAL, FORESTRY, INDUSTRIAL, MUNICIPAL, NON-CROPLAND, RIGHTS-OF-WAY, AND OTHER USES.
The addition of an adjuvant to some herbicides or pesticide tank mix combinations may cause phytotoxicity to the foliage and/or fruit of susceptible crops. Prior to the addition of ZAAR to spray tank mixes or prior to the use of ZAAR with a pesticide or fertilizer where an oil based 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.
ZAAR may be applied by Ground, CDA, or Aerial equipment. In most applications, use enough ZAAR to allow for uniform wetting and deposition of the spray onto plant surfaces without undue runoff.
GROUND APPLICATIONS: Use 1.0% by volume (1 gallon per 100 gallons of spray) or 1 pint per acre.
AERIAL & LOW VOLUME CDA APPLICATIONS: Use 6-8 fluid ounces per 1-5 gallons of water per acre.
DRIFT MANAGEMENT: A Use Rate of 1.0% by volume (1 gallon per 100 gallons of spray).
BUFFERING & Ph ADJUSTMENT: For most applications – a use rate of .5-1.0% by volume will be sufficient.
NOTE: Do not mix with oxidizing agents unless oxidizing agents are in solution.
MIXING
Prior to any pesticide application all spray mixing and application equipment must be cleaned. Carefully observe all cleaning directions on the pesticide label. Fill spray tank one-half full with water and begin agitation. Add herbicides as directed by labeling or in the following sequence:
1. Dry flowables or water dispersible granules
2. Wettable powders
3. Flowables
Disclaimer: Always refer to the label on the product before using Helena or any other product.
4. Solutions
5. Emulsifiable concentrates and continue filling. Add ZAAR last and continue agitation.
