That's one reason you need Surfix* spreader/sticker. Surfix keeps your pesticide on the leaf, through wind and sun and rain. It forms a bond between droplet and leaf surface that resists washoff. Surfix can improve your spray ap plication under most conditions. It reduces the evaporation of spray droplets, sticks droplets onto the leaf surface and spreads those droplets for more uniform coverage.
