Array is a target performance adjuvant that increases the deposition, retention, and performance of pesticides.
Product Overview
Array is specifically designed to improve herbicide performance by reducing antagonism in the spray tank, delivering more herbicide to the target weed, and increasing uptake. This easy-to-use formulation boosts penetration throughout the plant canopy and provides superior spray pattern.
Deposition
Reduces the amount of driftable fines compared to Spray Grade AMS and other competitive deposition/drift aid products
Retention
Amplifies the ability of the droplet to reach the lower third of the crop canopy, which is important for herbicide, insecticide, and fungicide applications
Canopy Pentration
Lowers droplet bounce upon contact with target leaves, keeping the pesticide on the intended target

Frequently asked questions
What is Array?
Array is a target performance adjuvant designed to increase the deposition, retention, canopy penetration, and humectancy performance of pesticides by delivering more pesticide to the target, reducing hard water tie-up, and improving uptake. It is a unique micro-homogenized, easy-to-use formulation of AMS and guar (HPG) specially designed to improve efficacy.
What is the key technology in Array?
Array features a proprietary blend of ammonium sulfate (AMS) and micro-homogenized organo-modified elasto polymers (HPG). This guar technology creates larger spray droplets for maximum deposition, provides adhesive/anti-rebound properties, slows droplet drying time for better uptake, resists pump-shear, decreases surface tension, and supplies ammonium and sulfate ions to counter hard water antagonism, potentially leading to improved pesticide efficacy.
What are the key components of Array?
Array includes key functional components in a single, convenient formulation:
- Deposition and Retention Aid: Creates larger spray droplets with adhesive/anti-rebound properties for better retention on plant surfaces
- Water Conditioning: Provides sulfate and ammonium ions to tie up hard water ions (e.g., Ca, Mg, Na, Fe), with an AMS load of 8.5 lbs. per 100 gallons
- Canopy Penetration: Enhances droplet penetration into dense canopies and slows drying time to delay crystallization
- Performance Enhancers: Reduces surface tension, minimizes foaming, and offsets the effects of cool-weather applications
- Humectancy: Aids in keeping the droplets in the liquid phase on the leaf surface for a longer period of time
What crops is Array suitable for?
Array is suitable for a wide range of agricultural applications with pesticides, including herbicides, insecticides, and fungicides.
How is Array applied?
The application rate for Array is 9 lbs. per 100 gallons of spray solution for ground and aerial applications. Always read and follow the product label directions for proper use and compatibility with specific pesticides. Add Array to the spray tank first, before other tank mixture products, unless directed otherwise.
What are the benefits of using Array?
- Convenience: Combines deposition aid, retention agent, canopy penetration, and water conditioning in a single formulation
- Improved Pesticide Performance: Enhances deposition, retention, uptake, and efficacy by reducing hard water antagonism and increasing delivery to target plants
- Deposition: Reduces driftable fines compared to AMS and competitive products, keeping more spray on target
- Canopy Penetration: Improves droplet reach into the lower third of dense canopies for better coverage
- Additional Advantages: Slows droplet drying, minimizes foaming, and offsets cool-weather effects
Can Array be used with all pesticides?
Array is designed for use with herbicides, insecticides, and fungicides, unless specifically prohibited by the pesticide label. However, always perform a jar test to ensure compatibility with specific pesticide solutions. Consult the pesticide label and/or your local representative for guidance.
