Why is a surfactant needed with SedgeHammer Herbicide - 1.33 oz. bottle?

The label states that a surfactant is required but what happens when I don't use one?

Answer:

A non ionic surfactant is needed with Sedgehammer Herbicide - 1.33 oz Bottle because it helps the product stick to the waxy weeds better. The manufacturer has stated "What we know from our research is that the surfactant can make a significant impact on the performance of SedgeHammer herbicide. Response rates can vary by as much as an additional 30 days and control can be compromised by 35% without the correct surfactant and mix rate." The Sedgehammer Plus Herbicide 13.5g packets are for smaller applications and already contain the surfactant. These are mixed at 1 packet per gallon of water per 1000 sq ft.
