Frequently asked questions
What is Tracker?
Tracker is an agricultural adjuvant featuring oil-emulsion technology designed specifically for the aerial application market. It improves the performance of herbicide, fungicide, and insecticide applications throughout the growing season and across all crops and growth stages by enhancing droplet coverage, reducing drift, and maximizing pesticide efficacy, particularly in low-volume applications. Tracker is a proprietary blend of oils and surfactants that acts as a deposition aid, drift reduction agent, and penetration aid. Tracker qualifies as a drift mitigation option to reduce buffer requirements within the EPA’s Herbicide Strategy under the Endangered Species Act.
What is the key technology in Tracker?
Tracker is a proprietary blend of oils and surfactants designed to enhance droplet coverage, maximize the efficacy of aerial applications, and improve pesticide performance by reducing fines, providing faster wetting, increasing coverage area, and maintaining droplets in a liquid state for better absorption. Third-party testing shows it reduces fines by an additional 15% over competitive oil-based deposition/drift-reduction products and achieves a 20% faster wetting time using the Draves Wetting test, an ASTM standardized test for wetting.
What are the key components of Tracker?
Tracker includes key functional components in a single, convenient formulation:
- Drift Reduction and Deposition: Reduces fines and ensures superior deposition on plant surfaces
- Wetting and Spreading: Provides 20% faster wetting and increases the coverage area of droplets once deposited
- Humectancy and Penetration: Keeps droplets in a liquid state for absorption and enhances leaf and cellular penetration
- Emulsifier Package: Maintains a uniform emulsion and distribution throughout the solution, preventing separation
What crops is Tracker suitable for?
Tracker is suitable for all crops and growth stages with fungicide and insecticide applications. It is specifically designed for aerial fungicides and/or insecticide applications and can be used throughout the growing season.
How is Tracker applied?
The recommended application rate for Tracker is 4 oz. per acre. Add Tracker to the spray mix last and continue agitation, unless directed otherwise by the specific pesticide label. Additional additives, including water conditioners, surfactants, drift-reducing agents, or other utility adjuvants, may be added to Tracker when required or suggested by the pesticide label.
What are the benefits of using Tracker?
- Convenience: Delivers a premixed package that eliminates the need to handle multiple adjuvant components; NPE-free formulation
- Improved Pesticide Performance: Enhances application placement, leaf and cellular penetration, wetting/spreading, humectancy, fungicide performance, and insecticide performance
- Drift Reduction: Reduces fines by an additional 15% over competitive oil-emulsion products, keeping spray on target
- Coverage Enhancement: Increases droplet coverage area
- Emulsion Stability: Maintains uniform emulsion without separation, ensuring consistent applications
Can Tracker be used with all pesticides?
Tracker is designed for use with fungicides, insecticides, and other pesticide products that suggest a surfactant or combination adjuvant to improve performance, unless specifically prohibited by the pesticide label. Always perform a jar test to ensure compatibility with specific pesticide solutions. Consult the pesticide label and/or your local representative for guidance.
