Product Overview

Sustain^® is a new, unique class of adjuvant with non-ionic properties based on Miller’s proprietary Pinolene^® technology. This adjuvant is designed to improve the contact, wetting and adhesion of pesticides and fertilizers on plant and soil surfaces. Sustain forms a soft, microscopic film that polymerizes, protecting spray deposits from rainfall erosion, volatility, and ultraviolet (UV) degradation.

Features

Forms a soft elastic film
Does not foam or clog nozzles
Organic compliant

*product is not certified organic in Chile

Benefits

Easy-to-use and economical
Helps improve residual herbicide control, UV breakdown, and volatilization
Improves agrochemical efficacy of the applied pesticide
Reduces lateral movement and leaching
Minimal phytotoxic risk to plants
More consistent efficacy of bare ground control for industrial vegetation management applications

How does it work?

Sustain is effective in limiting the leaching and migration of soil active herbicides. Once applied, it begins to polymerize and form an elastic, microscopic film in the environment. This in turn, helps to provide longevity of herbicides in the root and shoot zone, thereby maximizing herbicide activity in the target area and reducing leaching.

Herbicide Losses Graphic — Once applied, herbicides begin to degrade in the environment in a number of ways. Sustain helps to mitigate a portion of these environmental factors within the soil.

Application

Key crops include, but are not limited to: potatoes, oranges and pistachios
Sustain can be used to improve most root and shoot inhibitor herbicides
Under most conditions, apply sprays containing Sustain during daylight and at least one half hour before an anticipated rain. Sunlight, direct or indirect, for this time period is needed for the film to set.
Sustain may be applied by ground equipment
Sustain may be used with most herbicide products registered for: Agricultural, Forestry, Ornamental, Industrial Vegetation and Non-Cropland uses
