Chill hours during the winter months are important to your tree crop’s development—helping delayed bud break and more uniform bloom. More chill hours also mean increased storage of carbohydrates in your trees throughout the winter, potentially helping with your bloom the following spring. CHILLAX is the tool you need to maximize your chill hours.

Why Chill Hours Matter to You

On a sunny winter day, the average internal bud temperature is 10 to 15 degrees hotter than the ambient air. When you use CHILLAX, you can lower this temperature, contributing to your chill hours. How so? One way to calculate chill hours is to count the number of hours your bud temperature is below 45ºF but above 32ºF. Being able to reduce your internal bud temperature with CHILLAX allows you to better maintain temperatures within the optimum chill hour zone.

CLIMB® alkalinity agent raises and buffers spray water pH up to 10.6, improving the solubility of many pesticides. Use with: All sulfonylurea herbicides.

CROSSHAIR® is a consistently high performing drift and deposition control agent which offers a single rate, last in tank usage and is part of a best-in-class drift reduction technology portfolio. CROSSHAIR reduces driftable fines (less than 105 microns) increases deposition and has a broad use with most products.

CUT-RATE® is a dry formulation, reduced rate water condition adjuvant. Lower use rate than spray grade AMS applications, with the same performance you expect.

Is hard water giving you troubles? Can’t seem to take down persistent weeds? Solve your problems with CYNDER, a multifunctional adjuvant designed to help you manage difficult-to-control weeds. Plus, CYNDER includes a proprietary surfactant for better wetting and spreading on leaf surfaces. Because CYNDER can enhance herbicidal activity, your weeds will go down faster than ever.

DEADBOLT is a powerful post-emergence herbicide. With two forms of bromoxynil, plus 2,4-D ester and no plant back restrictions, DEADBOLT helps to control tough broadleaf and glyphosate-resistant weeds.

DEADLOCK® G

DENALI-EA® is a premium nonionic surfactant designed to increase efficacy and performance by providing a combination of surfactancy and buffering the spray solution to an acidic pH. DENALI-EA increases spreading action and promotes more uniform coverage.

DGUARD is an effective and easy to use adjuvant for deposition improvement and drift retardation when used in aerial or standard ground applications. DGUARD is compatible with most water soluble and wettable powder pesticides, desiccants, and cotton defoliants

Prior to a heat event, a timely application of DIFFUSION® can increase overall energy production of the plant. Early and in-season applications can reduce shrivel from heat events. Also, applications can speed sugar development and maturation.

DIFFUSION is a flowable micronized dispersion of calcium carbonate designed for foliar applications and is recommended for use as a protectant against sunburn and heat stress.
