PRODUCT BULLETIN
GLACIER-EA™ is a methylated seed oil (HSMSO) adjuvant that contains a high concentration of surfactant. It is
designed for lower use rates and better desiccation of yield-robbing weeds than standard modified seed oils.
GLACIER-EA utilizes a low foaming technology for smooth mixing and provides superior wetting and penetrating
characteristics. Use GLACIER-EA in place of your current methylated seed oil for improved performance.

PERFORMANCE
GENERAL INFORMATION
GLACIER-EA™ is a 60% methylated seed oil HSOC (High
Surfactant Oil Concentrate) that is formulated to aid in the
spreading and penetration of a pesticide spray through the waxy
cuticle. GLACIER-EA is a 96% high concentration, multifunctional
adjuvant with wetting, spreading and superior penetrating
properties.
GLACIER-EA may be used in place of nonionic surfactants,
methylated seed oils (MSO) or crop oil concentrates (COC) in liquid
spray mixtures. When used as directed, GLACIER-EA maximizes the
activity of certain pesticides; therefore, care must be taken when
treating sensitive crops during periods when plants are subjected to
drought stress, high temperatures or high humidity.
NPE FREE
Approved for aquatic use with pesticides labeled for aquatic use.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
MIXING INSTRUCTIONS: Start with a clean sprayer.
GLACIER-EA should be added to the tank according to the
mixing order recommended on the pesticide product label.
Agitate while mixing and during spraying.
USE RATES
Rates of GLACIER-EA may vary with conditions of application,
plant characteristics, target site and environmental conditions.
Use GLACIER-EA at a rate of 4-32 fl. oz./acre as a replacement
for MSOs, nonionic surfactants and crop oil concentrates. The
high end of the recommended use rate may be necessary during
periods when weeds are subjected to extreme stress or when high
weed populations exist.
AQUATIC: Follow the rates and application recommendations
that are shown for oil adjuvants (MSOs and COCs) on the
pesticide label.

For pesticides and herbicides that permit use of an adjuvant
at a higher rate, follow instructions on that pesticide and
herbicide label. HOWEVER, DO NOT ADD THIS PRODUCT AT A
RATE WHICH EXCEEDS 5% OF THE FINISHED SPRAY VOLUME,
EXCEPT WHEN USED AS A DILUENT IN DORMANT, BASAL, SITE
PREPARATION OR OTHER SIMILAR APPLICATIONS PER LABEL
INSTRUCTIONS. Prior to use, read and follow all directions on this
label and on the label of the pesticide being used.
