Improves reliability of your herbicide results

An adequate marker for brush weed control through handgun application

A very high quality, low foaming organo-silicone

Improves wetting & spreading by reducing the surface tension of the spray droplet. It improves the uptake in certain weeds, allows for more even and faster drying and reduces the rain free period.

The addition of Accelerate may reduce the drying time when added to products such as Glyphosate or Eradicate 600.
