WATER CONDITIONING AGENT
5X
more conditioning
capacity than AMS!
• A specially formulated conditioner
to reduce hard water antagonism
caused by calcium, magnesium,
iron and other cations.
• Contains optimized levels of AMS
+ a blend of other sequestering
agents and buffers.
• Allows for maximum effectiveness
of herbicides.
Both condition
the same amount
of water!

WATER CONDITIONING AGENT
• Is a highly effective blend of ammonium
sulfate and ammoniacal nitrogen along
with buffers, sequestrants and chelating
agents, to condition hard water and
prevent antagonism to some
herbicides such as glyphosate.
Hard water and high pH can antagonize
certain pesticides. Ammoniacal nitrogen
is known to condition the spray water
and provide a source of nitrogen.
