HYDRATE PLUS NF
WHEN CHEMICALS ALONE ARE NOT ENOUGH
WHAT IS HYDRATE PLUS NF?
◊ Uniquely developed surfactant designed to be highly effective with non-foaming properties.
WHAT IS SURFACTANT?◊ A wide range of “ingredients”, designed
to break surface tension
◊ In different environments, when the surface tension barrier is eliminated, positive results occur
After using HYDRATE PLUS NF, we will never spray without it again!
In my 31 years of farming, this is the first time I have not had to stop the sprayer and replace a
clogged nozzle!
Prior to using HYDRATE PLUS NF, it would take 6-8 days to start to see a kill occurring with our herbicides. Now, with
our herbicide and HYDRATE PLUS NF, there is no evidence of life in just 4 days after application!

WHY USE HYDRATE PLUS NF WITH HERBICIDES?
Kochia Weed, a weed that is rapidly becoming more abundant across southern Canadian prairies and the Great Plains of the United States, can reduce crop yields by up to 60 percent. Fighting this weed has become difficult because more than 90 percent of kochia populations are now resistant to herbicides.

Lambsquarters is one of the most problematic weeds in the North Central Region. It can germinate from mid-April through June. Corn yield losses as high as 44% and Soybean losses as high as 40% can occur with season-long interferance.

WHY USE HYDRATE PLUS NF WITH HERBICIDES?
HYDRATE PLUS NF really helped keep my soybean fields clean this year. The drought we experienced this year, along with our heavy irrigation, usually allows lambsquarters and kochia weeds to grow fast. But the HYDRATE PLUS NF helped tremendously in keeping my soybean fields clean.

MIKE FORTIE SHARES HIS EXPERIENCE WITH HYDRATE PLUS NF
Last year the Johnson Grass never actually died, instead it wilted. This year the only difference was the addition of HYDRATE PLUS NF. It has been 8 weeks and no growth from the original stalks which are completely dead. By this time last year, we had already sprayed twice and getting ready to spray a third time.

WHY USE HYDRATE PLUS NF WITH HERBICIDES?
◊ HYDRATE PLUS NF is proven to help herbicides penetrate more effectively
◊ With HYDRATE PLUS NF, the amount of chemicals mixed is greatly reduced
◊ Eliminates repeat applications, or extends time between applications
EXAMPLE OF EFFECTIVENESS WITH HERBICIDES
◊ One user in Florida
◊ Prior to HYDRATE PLUS NF:
- 60 oz. (1.8 L) Round Up mixed with 100 gals. (378L) water - 6-7 days later, evidence of complete kill - Application is rainproof after 4-5 hours - Reapplied every 6-8 weeks
EXAMPLE OF EFFECTIVENESS WITH HERBICIDES
◊ Same user in Florida
◊ After using HYDRATE PLUS NF:
- 40 oz. (1.2L) RoundUp mixed with 100 gals. (378L) water - 16 oz. (0.5L) HYDRATE PLUS NF (1:800) - 3 days later, evidence of complete kill - Application is rainproof after 1 hour - Reapplied every 6-8 weeks - Amount of chemicals reduced by one-third - Kill time reduced by 50% - Improves rainproofing by 80%

WHY USE HYDRATE PLUS NF WITH INSECTICIDES?
With Acephate and Sniper we have not had to reapply when using HYDRATE PLUS NF. In the past, we would have reapplied in two or three weeks. The plants soaked up more of the chemical than in the past. In fact, last year you could see where the chemical ran off the plants and onto the ground. This year there were not any runoff marks. Mike Fortie
Hydrate Plus NF breaks surface tension, allowing chemicals to completely coat leaves and increase the chemical’s effectiveness
Without Hydrate Plus NF, water/chemicals bead up and run off
With Hydrate Plus NF, water/chemicals completely saturate leaves
WHY USE HYDRATE PLUS NF WITH INSECTICIDES?
◊ To allow insecticides to penetrate quickly and provide complete plant coverage
◊ To allow insecticides to have a more potent contact kill
◊ HYDRATE PLUS NF aids in waterproofing insecticide applications
WHY USE HYDRATE PLUS NF WITH INSECTICIDES?
◊ WORLD CLASS RESULTS
◊ One landscaping company has used HYDRATE PLUS NFadding it to their lawn treatments to expedite results as well as to rainproof chemical applications
◊ This landscaping company has reduced the number of“re-applications” by 50% since the start of using HYDRATE PLUS NF
◊ More effective spraying has not only reduced their costs, but has helped grow their business

◊ FUNGICIDES(Special chemical for treatment
against harmful fungus)

WHY USE HYDRATE PLUS NF WITH FUNGICIDES?
◊ HYDRATE PLUS NF is compatible and safe with all crop/soil types with which fungicides are applied
◊ HYDRATE PLUS NF with fungicides allows quick penetration which limits the loss of chemicals to evaporation
◊ HYDRATE PLUS NF reduces the costs of chemicals and any yield loss due to fungus
WHAT CAN YOU MIX WITH HYDRATE PLUS NF?
◊ FERTILIZERS
HYDRATE PLUS NF increases the effectiveness of fertilizers significantly
WHY USE HYDRATE PLUS NF WITH FERTILIZERS?
◊ HYDRATE PLUS NF allows fertilizer to penetrate the surface more rapidly than a chemical alone
◊ With a fertilizer, the result is less run-off
◊ Also, there is considerably less loss --- due to evaporation
◊ To reduce costs and improve profits
HYDRATE PLUS NF has proven to be a very valued wetting agent. This surfactant when mixed with fertilizers, herbicides, pesticides, etc., greatly reduces our chemical costs. HYDRATE PLUS NF allows chemicals such as herbicides and pesticides to be absorbed into the intended destination quickly with maximum penetration and virtually no evaporation. HYDRATE PLUS NF has given Gray Plantation Golf Course healthier greens and fairways.

WHY USE HYDRATE PLUS NF WITH FERTILIZERS?
Farmer, Kevin Spence has used Hydrate Plus NF for many years to help with penetration of water/chemicals on the slopes and hills of his Othello, Washington area.
WHY USE HYDRATE PLUS NF WITH FERTILIZERS?
Using a 500 gal. herbigator tank, Kevin sprays Hydrate Plus NF through his pivot irrigation system to enhance water/chemical penetration. Kevin says alfalfa tends to get packed hard, so he applies Hydrate Plus NF regularly as maintenance at a rate of 1 quart to each acre, per application.
WHY IS THE NON-FOAMING
IMPORTANT?
◊ Eliminates the need for extra chemicals
◊ Most spray rigs re-circulate chemicals through the system
◊ Non-foaming aspect eliminates pump malfunctions
ARE THERE ANY SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
NEEDED?◊ Safe for both applicator and application
◊ Has pH level of 10 (in concentrated form) meaning HYDRATE PLUS NF is safe anywhere water can be used
◊ Designed to be used on deciduous trees, edible crops/vegetation, and grasses
◊ Biodegradable, non-toxic, and earth friendly
VALUE OF ADDED BENEFITS
◊ NON-IONIC - Will not affect chemicals mixed in a damaging way.
◊ EVENLY SPRAYING - One crop duster, after using it mixed with insecticides commented:
“That surfactant was great. That’s the first time ever to not have nozzles clog.
The tank was noticeably cleaner afterwards”.

Phillips Bros. Farms December 28, 2011 Texas Refinery Corp Attn: David Eder We plant approximately 1400 acres of peanuts and around 1700 acres of cotton every year (3100
total acres). The Hydrate Plus NF from TRC, is used at the rate of 1:800. That’s about 16oz Hydrate Plus NF, per 100 gallons water. We normally spray around 10 gallons of the water/chemical/surfactant mixture per acre.
Our experience is that chemicals such as Tilt, Bravo, Folicur, Abound, Moncut and Roundup can be reduced by a minimum of 33% from the chemical company’s recommended treat rate, when applied with TRC Hydrate Plus NF.
We have found this surfactant to be very effective in breaking down surface tension on the plant , providing excellent coverage. This product also keeps our spray nozzles very clean for accurate dispersal.
Based on the total number of sprayings per year, we have reduced our chemical costs on the farm operation, last year by at least $30,000.00 (this is approximately $9.67/acre). We found that we extend spray intervals using TRC Hydrate Plus NF, giving us extra time to use for other work.
This product is a money saver. Thanks, Phillips Bros. Farm Georgia
