The MSO actually helps to strip away the waxy coating on the target weeds, while a regular non-ionic surfactant will not do this. So while a regular non-ionic surfactant is better than no s…

The MSO actually helps to strip away the waxy coating on the target weeds, while a regular non-ionic surfactant will not do this. So while a regular non-ionic surfactant is better than no surfactant, it will not provide as good of results as using an MSO surfactant such as Duo Stick when using a quinclorac herbicide such as Drive XLR8. -

Asked by Dale from Raleigh09/30/2019QShould I use an 80/20 surfactant or a 90/10 surfactant?
Besides active ingredient and maybe perhaps use a little less would there be any more advantage or disadvantages on using a 90/10 surfactant instead of 80/10 in a herbicide or insectide? I have tried to search the web a little and I couldn't find any info on differences.AThe numbers on a surfactant such as the Non-Ionic Surfactant for Herbicides are indicative of how much active ingredient is in the surfactant, so a higher number, such as 90 instead of 80, generally means a higher quality product. Most products that require a non-ionic surfactant require the use of…
