Subject: Educate me please... "Liberate" & "Li700" etc ( not really machinery I guess....)


 

It is pretty standard   here to use Li700  (or generic equivalent) as a  surfactant  with  spray mixes containing glyphosate .

My understanding   is this is because it tends to acidify our  elevated pH water to some degree, and assists  in drift reduction,  also  to some degree,  assists droplet adhesion, spreading  and  penetration etc etc.

 But then there is Liberate.    I have no previous exposure to this product  but  I see it is neutral pH , so does nothing to acidify. Otherwise its  claims to do what Li 700  does.

Liberate  was suggested to me  as a  product to increase the rainfastness of Glyphosate, but I am wondering if it really  is significantly any better than Li700, and what I  gain on the swings I might lose on the roundabouts.

I haven't compared product cost yet.

 

In either case Ammonium Sulfate is  standard addition also.

 

Any knowledge or informed opinions on this subject out there...?
