ALLIGARE® DOWNFORCE

Alligare Downforce is engineered to improve deposition of pesticide applications by maximizing the number of spray droplets within the ideal size range for drift reduction and canopy penetration. The degree of drift hazard varies with the type of pesticide, application conditions and the vegetation near the treated area. Alligare Downforce is intended to be a management tool that will improve deposition and help to reduce drift of the active ingredient in the spray solution away from the target surface. Wind tunnel testing has shown that when CP™11TT type nozzles are used with Alligare Downforce in aerial spraying, a more uniform droplet size range is generated that will enhance the delivery of the active ingredient throughout the layers of the canopy. Alligare Downforce does not produce large spray droplets like other polymer drift products. Internal cohesion of the components helps to prevent droplet shearing into fines which move off-target into sensitive areas.
