It’s time to make some space.

Last month we saw humans return to the moon, but back on earth, our growers have another important mission to complete.

As harvesting starts to wind down, autumn herbicide applications will be top of mind for many orchard and vineyard operations as they look to clear out the weed spray strips of broadleaf and grass weeds that have developed across the growing season.

Shoot for the moon with Torque.

Torque is the ideal broad spectrum herbicide to reach for, based on unique amitrole chemistry that provides particularly strong activity against broadleaf weeds and significant activity against grasses and is an effective alternative to glyphosate to aid in resistance management.

Torque provides a systemic mode of action, with fast initial uptake into the leaf for rapid cessation of growth, with the active ingredient then moving gradually through both xylem and phloem, showing characteristic white bleaching of aerial parts before eventual progressive destruction of vegetative matter and desiccation of the entire plant over a sustained period of time.

Adding Kantor - one small step that makes all the difference.

To ensure your Torque application gets maximum thrust, make sure you include Kantor in the spray tank . As your go-to multi-purpose adjuvant, it’s the perfect booster for all autumn herbicide options such as glyphosate, glufosinate and grass specific, clethodim.

Think of Kantor as the booster rocket that kicks in to give Torque the best shot at weeds.

With a single application use rate of 150ml per 100 litres of water, Kantor drives the full potential of your herbicide programme by smoothing out the "pressure points" of your entire spraying operation.

Hit the pH ‘sweet spot’

From the moment you add it to the tank, Kantor goes to work, buffering the spray water to pH 6–7, the target pH for the majority of crop protection products.

Kantor eliminates tank mix incompatibility due to water that’s too cold or poor quality, having multiple products in the tank, incompatible formulation types or spray applications carried out in low water volumes.

For more complex tank mixes, Kantor provides the flexibility to partner other herbicides with Torque. Its unique adjuvant properties promote better emulsification, enabling complex mixes to work together in a single pass.

On-Target Accuracy

Like a moon shot, accuracy is everything when it comes to spraying. Kantor effectively maximises your "spray window" by delivering:

Drift reduction to keep your spray flying straight.
Effective droplet deposition and spreading characteristics.
Unique penetrating power to ensure rapid uptake into broadleaf and grass weeds of systemic herbicides such as Torque and glyphosate or translaminar herbicides.

Kantor ensures that Torque and any other autumn herbicide sprayout options get to work faster for a more effective weed kill.
