Ionic
When the hydrophilic part of the surfactant consists of a negatively charged group like a sulphonate, sulphate or carboxylate the surfactant is called ionic. Basic soaps are ionic surfactants.
NonIonic
A surfactant with a non-charged hydrophilic part, e.g. ethoxylate, is non-ionic.
The difference between Surf AC 820 and Surf AC 910 is the amount of alcohol ethoxylate in each product.
We generally recommend Southern Ag's Non-Ionic Surfactant. It a very good product that can be mixed with insecticides and herbicides.
The difference between Surf AC 820 and Surf AC 910 is the amount of alcohol ethoxylate in each product. Generally, we recommend using a surfactant such as Southern Ag's Non-Ionic Surfactant. It a great product that can be mixed with many different types of insecticides and herbicides. Though most glyphosate products do already contain a surfactant so be sure to review the product label to confirm if a surfactant is recommended to be added.
The Surf-AC 910 Surfactant is not labeled for use in edible plants. We recommend contacting the manufacturer for further assistance at 901-774-4370.
We recommend the Monterey Natures Own Spray Helper.
Surf-AC 910 Surfactant is mixed directly with an herbicide and water in the same tank together. Most RoundUp products already contain a surfactant so an additional one is not needed. Per the label for Surf-Ac when used with herbicides the rate is 1- 2 pints per 1000 gallons which breaks down to 0.16-0.32 fl oz per gallon of water.
