HOOK allows your active ingredient to become a surface tension reducing compound. One of the benefits of this action is the fact that less actual surfactant is needed to reduce the surface tension to a desired level. Less chemical film on the plant allows the active ingredient to work like it should.
It also reduces the rate at which the sticker is washed away by run-off caused by rain or irrigation, thereby improving the performance of the pesticide.
Because HOOK creates uniform droplets for better deposition you reap a dual benefit: more efficient control plus longer time of control.
And HOOK provides excellent Lower Canopy Coverage coupled with Excellent Drift Control.
IMPROVED PENETRATION
Whether the leaf structure is: Broadleaf • Grass • Waxy
HOOK can handle the job. A plant's natural barrier to absorption is the leaf cuticle. This cuticle is a complex matrix of materials that vary in water soluability.
HOOK's wide range of penetration allows the active ingredient to penetrate...even waxy leaf cuticle.
The chemical will be attracted to the negatively charged leaf surface (waxy plant leaf surfaces are highly aydrophobic and have a negative charge) due to the unique composition of HOOK.
The chemical itself can act as a surfactant to help penetrate the crystalline waxy surface of the leaf.
ENHANCED STICKING POWER
The sticking of fungicides is also enhanced by the nature of the fatty acid-amine surfactant generated.The complex formed carries a positive charge, and is attracted to the negative charge on the plant itself. The sticker maintains the contact, once contact is made.
