An overview of results of field trials

Apple Scab

Apple

“48% less Venturia Inaequalis (apple scab) in apple orchards when added to Delan WG.”

Addition of the adjuvant Squall to Delan WG and captan-containing products enhances the efficacy against apple scab. This is the conclusion of a three-year German study by the Kompetenzzcentrum Ostbau Bodensee (KOB) in Bavendorf. Christian Scheer investigated the adjuvant in combating Venturia Inaequalis.

Black Soil

Black soil

“40% less fruit damage when Squall is added to black soil spray”

Addition of the adjuvant Squall to the black soil spray prevents fruit damage. This is shown by German research by Kompetenzzcentrum Obstbau Bodensee (KOB) in Bavendorf. Christian Scheer investigated the addition of the adjuvant to Vorox and concluded that the anti-drift effect of Squall prevents fruit damage.

Mycosphaerella Cabbage

Cabbage

“50% reduction of mycosphaerella in cabbage when Squall is added.“

The addition of Squall, a sticker and anti-drift adjuvant, increases the effectiveness of the fungicides in cabbage. This is according to research from Proeftuin Zwaagdijk. The adjuvant has been used in test objects to control the mycosphaerella fungus.

Virus Control Lily

Lily

“30% less virus in lilies when Squall is added.”

The addition of Squall, a sticker and anti-drift adjuvant, improves the coverage of pesticides on the lilies and thereby increases the efficacy in combating viruses. This is the conclusion of research by Delphy and Proeftuin Zwaagdijk. The adjuvant has been used in covering tests and in the fight against the Lily mosaic virus and the Lily latent virus.

Mildew Onion

Onion

“5 tons extra onion yield per hectare due to the reduction of downy mildew.“

The addition of Squall, a biodegradable sticker and anti-drift adjuvant, has demonstrated that a higher yield can be achieved in onion cultivation with the addition of Squall. No less than 5 tons of onions were harvested more, because the downy mildew was better under control.

pear sucker

Pear

“23% improved pear sucker control with Batavia SC when Squall is added.”

The addition of Squall, a sticker and anti-drift adjuvant, increases the effectiveness of the insect repellents in pears. This has emerged from research by the Centraal Adviesdienst Fruitteelt (CAF). The adjuvant has been used in test objects in the control of the pear sucker with the crop protection product Batavia SC.

Potato Foliage Killing

Potato

“On average, 34% more leaf desiccation in potato when added to Reglone and Spotlight.”

The addition of Squall, a sticker and anti-drift adjuvant, ensures more and faster foliage killing in potatoes. BioChem Agrar tested the adjuvant in test objects in the potato variety Challenger.

Mildew Strawberries

Strawberry

“25% less Talius + Topas fungicides needed for comparable powdery mildew control.“

The addition of Squall, a biodegradable sticker and anti-drift adjuvant, has made it demonstrable that with the usual means, a quarter fewer crop protection products are needed to combat powdery mildew in strawberries. German researchers came to this conclusion after two years of testing.

Rain Fastness

Rain fastness

“30% more effectiveness of Pomarsol after a rain shower when Squall is added.”

Squall better retains the effectiveness after a rain shower. Studies in the Belgian Kerkdom (PC Fruit, Sint-Truiden) have examined the efficacy of various fungicides with and without GreenA’s biodegradable sticker and anti-drift adjuvant. A rain shower was simulated and scab was applied artificially.

Sugarbeet cercospora

Sugar beet

“25% less Cercospora Beticola in sugar beet when added to Sphere + Penncozeb.”

The addition of Squall, a sticker and anti-drift adjuvant, increases the effectiveness of the fungicides in sugar beet. According to research by Cultus Crop Research in Lottum. The adjuvant has been used in test objects to control the Cercospora beticola fungus.

Naamloos

Tulip

“95% more leaf coverage when Squall is added to Score on tulips”

The addition of Squall, a sticker and anti-drift adjuvant, improves the coverage of pesticides on tulips. This is the conclusion of research by Proeftuin Zwaagdijk, CAV Agrotheek and the University of Amsterdam. The adjuvant has been used in coverage tests in the field and in the lab.

Weed Control

Weed

“44% better weed control when Squall is added, average from 5 different herbicides tested on 4 main weeds.”

Squall sticks drops to the crop. That is why Squall is widely used in herbicide spraying. Wageningen UR commissioned research into the added value of Squall. Individual products have been tested on various weeds.
