How It Works
Learn from Tom Zangrillo about Satchur 8®, and the fascinating mechanism that extends product longevity in your field.
Satchur 8® enhances the residual weed control of pre-emergence herbicides by maintaining the active ingredient in the soil’s upper layer for a longer time. It improves burndown applications by ensuring the active ingredient remains intact on the leaf for a more extended period. Satchur 8® also boosts fungicide efficacy by allowing the leaf to breathe and continue its normal metabolism, unlike surfactants that hinder the active ingredient’s uptake.
