Key Takeaways
- Product Launch: Attune Agriculture has introduced Horizon A, a new soil-applied adjuvant designed to enhance the retention of active ingredients.
- Hydrocolloid Technology: The product leverages proprietary formulas to prevent the leaching of nutrients and pesticides beyond the root zone.
- Performance Metrics: Field testing shows significant improvements, including an 82.4% reduction in Phytophthora severity and a 29.3% increase in potato yield.
- Resource Efficiency: Horizon A reduces evaporative loss at the soil surface, maintaining a stable environment between irrigation events.
- Strategic Shift: Unlike traditional surfactants that drive water downward, this technology focuses on moisture and active ingredient stabilization.
Attune Agriculture Introduces Horizon A Technology
Attune Agriculture, a specialist in hydrocolloid-based agricultural products, has announced the extension of its adjuvant line with the launch of Horizon A. This soil-applied solution is engineered to improve the performance of herbicides, insecticides, fungicides, nematicides, and fertilizers. By improving moisture retention, the product ensures that active ingredients remain in the critical root zone for plant uptake.
The proprietary formula addresses a common challenge in crop management: the excessive movement of tank mix ingredients. By managing water travel, Horizon A increases the availability of nutrients while reducing the stress placed on plants during intervals between irrigation.
Field Performance and Attune Agriculture Results
Extensive testing over a three-year period has yielded specific data regarding the efficacy of the new adjuvant. According to the company, the addition of Horizon A resulted in an 80% increase in control for tested pre-emergent weed species and a 300% increase in whitefly control.
