APSA-80 Adjuvant is an agricultural wetting agent. APSA-80 has three main uses: One as an irrigation aid to the soil, second as a soil compaction aid, and third as a spray adjuvant for use with herbicide and pesticide sprays. By lowering the surface tension of water, APSA-80 can increase the rate at which water soaks into soil, reduce water losses due to evaporation and runoff, and increase crop yields.

• Developed over 30 years ago
• It’s been proven to be more than a surfactant. It will help manage the water in the soil and also help relieve compaction.
• In one of many studies performed, there was a compaction layer 18 inches deep that took 900 psi to penetrate. However, a corn plant can only exert 400 psi max, meaning the plant can only gain nutrients from those 14 inches. When the APSA-80 was applied to the soil, the root system was able to break through the compaction layer.
• It works as a water management tool by holding water in the soil like a reservoir for the plants to use, especially during the hot and dry parts of the year.
• Studies performed in fields with compaction problems, have shown results with an average yield increase of 17 bushels an acre and a 30% increase in root depth at 90% root volume.

• Highly concentrated, non-ionic surfactant.
• Improves chemical effectiveness and helps keep pesticides in solution.
• Allows contact herbicide solutions to penetrate the waxy coating of weed leaves faster.
• Therefore, the solution is more effective with coverage, penetration and retention of post-emergent herbicides.
• Helps disperse powders and oil-based products.
• Non-corrosive / Bio-degradable

• When using APSA-80 as a surfactant with herbicides, use 2.5 – 5 oz per acre or 2.5 oz per 10 – 40 gallon spray solution, depending on herbicide use. When using with fungicides and insecticides, use 2.5 oz per 100 gal spray solution.
• As an irrigation and compaction aid, the recommendation rate is 15 – 30 oz per acre.
