Southern Ag non-ionic surfactant for herbicides 1 gal (128 oz) — 80% concentrate, improves spray coverage

Southern Ag Surfactant for Herbicides is a 128-ounce non-ionic wetting agent designed to improve spray coverage and help herbicides penetrate plant surfaces more effectively.

When applied with herbicide sprays, this concentrated non-ionic surfactant lowers water's surface tension so droplets spread evenly and cling to foliage rather than beading or running off. It is formulated for compatibility with a wide range of common herbicides, helping users get more consistent contact and uniform performance from their weed-control applications.

How does this surfactant change herbicide performance?

By reducing surface tension, the surfactant transforms spray droplets to wet and coat leaf surfaces, increasing the area of contact and aiding active ingredients to reach target tissues. It does not add herbicidal activity itself but improves the efficiency of the tank-mixed product.

• Contains 80% non-ionic surfactant for reliable spreading and sticking.
• Helps herbicides reach stem and leaf surfaces that repel water.
• Reduces droplet beading and runoff on waxy or hairy leaves.

Which herbicides and situations is it compatible with?

Southern Ag's non-ionic surfactant is formulated to mix with many commonly used herbicide formulations, including broadleaf and grass herbicides, phenoxy products, and certain selective pre- and post-emergent mixes. Always check the herbicide label and perform a small jar test for compatibility when combining products.

• Commonly used with Trimec, Atrazine, Brush Killer and 2,4-D amine.
• Suitable for both selective and non-selective herbicide tanks where non-ionic adjuvants are recommended.
• Works in spot treatments, broadcast sprays, and larger spray rigs.

What are the recommended rates and mixing tips?

Follow label directions of the herbicide first, then add surfactant at manufacturer-recommended rates to achieve the intended spray characteristics. Southern Ag recommends a small amount per gallon for normal applications and a higher dilution for very large spray volumes.

• Typical rate: about 1 teaspoon per gallon of water; 1 pint per 100 gallons for larger tanks.
• Add the surfactant after the herbicide is in the tank and agitate to ensure even distribution.
• Perform a jar compatibility test when using new chemical combinations.

Is there any special handling or safety to consider?

Handle like any concentrated agricultural adjuvant: use appropriate personal protective equipment and avoid skin or eye contact. Store the gallon container upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children and pets.

• Wear gloves and eye protection during mixing and loading.
• Do not ingest; follow all label instructions for emergency measures.
• Rinse containers according to local disposal regulations after use.

Who is this for: Landscapers, turf managers, farm operators and homeowners who apply herbicides and need more consistent spray coverage will benefit from this non-ionic surfactant. If you routinely tank-mix herbicides and want to reduce runoff, improve leaf coverage, and support more uniform application results, the Southern Ag 128 oz surfactant provides a concentrated, easy-to-store option for both small and larger-scale spraying needs.
