Wilbur-Ellis adds organic surfactant

Wilbur-Ellis Agribusiness adds a new surfactant to its organic product line. Infolium-EA can be used for aquatic, non-crop vegetation, turf, ornamental applications and more.

“Infolium-EA is a nonionic surfactant, specifically formulated to bring conventional functionality to an organic surfactant,” said Jason Ellsworth, organic portfolio manager with Wilbur-Ellis Agribusiness. “By increasing both the spreadability of the spray and the active ingredients’ penetration into the leaf tissue, Infolium-EA helps pesticides perform better.”

Infolium-EA improves weed and pest control in multiple ways:

• Reduces surface tension between the spray droplets and the plant cuticle
• Promotes quick wetting and spreading to produce a more uniform spray deposit
• Efficiently moves the active ingredient into the water channels of the leaf
• Increases absorption of the product

Infolium-EA is pending EPA registration in Washington and California.
