WEEDMASTER ARGO – THE DUAL SALT HORTICULTURAL SPECIALIST

Nufarm’s high performance weedmaster® ARGO® sets a new standard for convenient and effective knockdown control in horticultural crops.

A 540 g/L Dual Salt Technology® glyphosate, weedmaster ARGO delivers powerful, broad spectrum weed control and is an ideal partner as part of a complete program.

WEEDMASTER ARGO AT WORK Dual Salt Technology was developed in Australia by Nufarm for Australian conditions.

Dual Salt Technology is a unique combination of two salts and an innovative surfactant package. Together they form an advanced glyphosate product with improved performance, when compared with single-salt products.

Dual Salt Technology allows for a higher active loading and weedmaster ARGO is a fully loaded 540 g/L glyphosate product. The combination of the innovative surfactant package and Dual Salt Technology provides superior compatibility over single salt products, better mixing in hard water, rapid translocation within the plant and fast brownout over a range of weeds.

WEEDMASTER ARGO COMPATIBILITYA standout feature of weedmaster ARGO is superior compatibility when compared to single salt glyphosate formulations. The image below shows mixing of three different glyphosate formulations with GoalTender™ (oxyfluorfen). The two single salt formulations both show significant precipitation while the mixture containing weedmaster ARGO remains in suspension. The Dual Salt Technology and superior surfactant package of weedmaster ARGO outperforms products both single salt products, with significantly improved compatibility.

RAPID UPTAKEAnother benefit of weedmaster ARGO is its rapid uptake by weeds and fast brownout.

Dual Salt Technology and the tailored surfactant package in weedmaster ARGO work in tandem to accelerate plant uptake as the glyphosate passes through the cuticle into the plant sap transport system more readily. This leads to a fast brownout and superior control of a wide variety of weeds.

Weedmaster ARGO is also backed by a 20 minute commercial rainfast offer*, allowing growers to continue spraying right up until a rainfall event.

APPLYING WEEDMASTER ARGOweedmaster ARGO should be applied at a COARSE to VERY COARSE spray quality. The recommended water volumes for spraying under vines is 120-150 L/ha.

For multiple product mixes, Nufarm recommends a minimum water volume of 50 L/ha. Correct mixing order is important, as is good in-tank agitation while application is occurring. Always refer to product labels when mixing multiple products.
