SKU CH-6451Stretch Pod Adhesion Agent
Stretch is a professional adjuvant designed for the protection of crops such as winter and spring oilseed rape, leguminous plants (peas, beans, soybeans) and cereals.
Description
ACTION OF THE STRETCH PRODUCT:
The product works by creating a thin, flexible coating on the sprayed surface, which does not require sunlight for activation. This specialised layer allows water to evaporate from the plant, while effectively limiting moisture penetration into the pods, legumes and ears. As a result, Stretch prevents alternating wetting and drying of tissues, which inhibits pod shattering and reduces the activation of enzymes responsible for grain sprouting in ears.
Benefits of using Stretch:
- Protection against shattering: Effectively strengthens pods and legumes, preventing seed losses before harvest.
- Prevention of sprouting: Protects cereal grain quality by blocking moisture access caused by rain or fog.
- Even drying: Ensures stable drying of cells during the plant maturation process.
- Application flexibility: Can be applied together with registered desiccants.
STRETCH ACTIVE SUBSTANCE CONTENT:
Polymer mixture - a formula that provides the formation of a physical coating.
STRETCH SCOPE OF USE, TIMING AND DOSES:
Medium droplet spraying using field sprayers. The product should be applied as an aqueous solution.
