Watch the interview with Joe Gednalske, Director of Education – Adjuvant Development at the CPDA and Bob Herzfeld, Product Manager at Exacto below and listen to their perspective on industry developments.
Joe Gednalske, Director of Education – Adjuvant Development, CPDA has been an agricultural industry beacon for many decades, working to explore the value adjuvants bring to agriculture and the crop protection industry. With his background as an agronomist and spearheading the development of many adjuvants, such as Interlock, he has gained a wealth of insight and information on the challenges and advancements over the years.
Tune into his conversation with Bob Herzfeld, Product Manager at Exacto. Together, they have worked on developing many adjuvant systems that are still used on millions of acres today. Furthermore, they discuss the value of adjuvants in growing crops successfully, where adding a premium adjuvant to your spray tank can increase the yield by up to 15%. Plus, hear their perspective on the various supply industries’ nonintegrated approach to optimizing results for growers and the role CPDA certification plays.
Surfactants are widely used across the world – in fact, you probably use surfactants every day in soaps, detergents, toothpaste, cosmetics, and countless other applications. Surfactants are just as important in agriculture and turf and understanding how and when to use the right surfactant can make or break a successful application.
Pre-emergence herbicide applications offer a valuable tool to prevent or reduce weed infestations early in the season. While these applications are helpful, it can be a challenge to achieve optimum results. Adjuvant use is increasing and studies continue to prove their effectiveness.
Leaders from Exacto and other companies recently took part in advocacy activities in Washington, DC, engaging in twenty-four meetings with congressional leadership, senators, and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). They addressed a major challenge related to the Endangered Species Act (ESA).
Failed weed control may resemble herbicide resistance, but it’s not always the culprit. Recent cases of HPPD-inhibitor (group 27) herbicide failures have shown that certain application errors are more common culprits than resistance. This research shows ways to overcome these application challenges.
