ELASTO G5

ADJUVANT TO IMPROVE THE EFFICACY OF CROP PROTECTION SAFE, RELIABLE AND FLEXIBLE

EVERY FLOWER COUNTS

What is Elasto G5?

Elasto G5 is a safe and reliable adjuvant to support ornamental crop production with scientifically proven technology and experience behind it.

Not only does Elasto G5 improve efficacy of crop protection products in both typical and challenging circumstances, it enhances retention, spreading and uptake of an active ingredient, all whilst reducing the risk of run off. It is a polyglycerol based product based on renewable resources: glycerol and coconut oil fatty acid.

Safe • Low risk of phytotox • Low risk for beneficial insects • Reduced risk of run off

Reliable • Improved retention, coverage and uptake of crop protection products • Significant research and technical support in the UK and the Netherlands

Flexible • Enhanced efficacy improves plant health • Helps to meet retail requirements with potential for reduced chemical applications

How can Elasto G5 help?

To get the best results from your crop, you have to rely on good crop protection programmes.

To enhance the efficacy of these programmes, good application techniques and the use of adjuvants are essential to improve their uptake.

The benefits of Elasto G5 Safe Elasto G5 improves uptake and efficacy which is achieved in a safe way for both the crop and the environment. Better coverage can be achieved with lower risk of run-off or phytotox and is safe for beneficials as well as fitting into an IPM programme.

Reliable The physical behaviour of Elasto G5 improves retention and spreading which subsequently reduces the risk of run off. With better spreading ability, better coverage is achieved in conjunction with better uptake of the active ingredient. With 16 years of scientific research and trials to support Elasto G5, this supporting knowledge can help you maximise the use of Elasto G5 in your crop protection programme.

Excellent coverage when Elasto G5 is used, without run off

Flexibility Elasto G5 gives you more flexibility. The improved efficacy it gives you will contribute to a more sustainable production system, no matter which disease or pest you need to control in your crops.
