Mechanism of action:

Surfactant Amigo Star improves the spreading and retention of herbicides, insecticides and fungicides, and also slows down their drying on the leaf surface; ensures rapid penetration of active substances of pesticides through the cuticle of the leaf.
Application with herbicides:

Amigo Star can be used with a wide range of herbicides to cover weeds with a working solution, as well as to increase the absorption of the active components of the herbicide. Amigo Star provides a better result compared to preparations based on mineral oils. In cool conditions (<10°С), preference should be given to Amigo Star among other adjuvants, which, according to the label, are recommended to be used with an adjuvant.

Application with insecticides:
Amigo Star can be used withmost insecticides. The essential oil included in the adjuvant has a physico-chemical effect on pests and enhances the action of insecticides. In addition, it provides a retarding effect on the crystallization of insecticides, as evaporation from drops of the working solution is reduced. In addition, Amigo Star is used as an eco-insecticide: due to its excellent covering ability, Amigo Star makes it impossible for the eggs of pests to reproduce, because a thin film, when it gets into the respiratory organs, blocks the inflow of air and causes their death.

Application with fungicides:
Apply Amigo Star to improve the coverage of protective components and increase the absorption of systemic active substances. The adhesive increases the penetration of systemicfungicides through the epicuticular layer of the leaf, and therefore improves disease control.

Features of use:
Amigo Star is used in all cases where adjuvants based on vegetable oils are recommended according to the chemical drug label, even if Amigo Star or a surfactant based on a mixture of methyl esters of fatty acids is specially added to the composition of the drug. Before use, you should carefully read the instructions for the use of drugs. Before the first use, it is necessary to carry out a test on the compatibility of the components of the tank mixture and on the manifestation of phytotoxicity in agricultural crops. Preparation of the working solution: fill the tank with water to 1/3 of the volume and, with constant stirring, first add the appropriate amount of pesticide, and then Amigo Star and water to the full volume.
