00:00 As we walk up and down the aisle here at Commodity Classic 26, many companies are showing 00:00:04 demonstrations of how their products work. The demonstration here at the ZA booth really caught my eye because it's something that's important to me on our farm 00:00:10 with all of the foliar applications that we do, have we agitated that spray tank enough? Does, does the chemical stay mixed up? Does it fall out? 00:00:18 Does the adjuvant stay mixed up? Does it fall out? This trial right here again, really caught my eye. Ryan, what are you gonna show us? 00:00:25 So what I'm gonna show you today is the benefits of what re's adjuvants bring to the table and how well they mix in a tank compared to some 00:00:31 of the our competitors out in the market. Okay? So the first one I'm gonna show you is an all-in-one adjuvant, and we're gonna show you, 00:00:37 as you drop it into the water, it wants to beat up and sit in the glass. That does not look like it mixes well at 00:00:47 All. The issue with that type of adjuvant is the fact that you're gonna have to continually agitate that product and ideally, adjuvants treat the water 00:00:53 to make the herbicides, insecticides the fungicides work more efficiently, which is what you were looking for here. 00:00:58 We're gonna be putting in the zenex technology if you can see that product's already mixing and within that water without any type of agitation at all. 00:01:11 It's not gumming up on the bottom, it's not jelling up on the bottom. It's making a nice little emulsion in that, in that tanker, 00:01:16 in that mix specifically about, Think about if the sprayer finishes a field goes to the next field. 00:01:21 What if it settles out? Think about if a rain event or you break down and you can't go till the next day. 00:01:26 We always worried about what's falling out in the tank. We, is our applicator doing a good enough job? Absolutely. This makes our job easier. 00:01:33 I would, I would rather have my chemical and fungicide sitting in this mix versus sitting in a ball in the bottom of this mix. 00:01:40 Absolutely correct. Thank you, Ryan. Yep. Thanks buddy. Okay, so four hours later we're gonna look at our project 00:01:45 that we did with our adjuvants. Here was the competition that we talked about, the all-inclusive. 00:01:53 And what you can see is that when, when, four hours ago when we dropped this, uh, adjuvant into solution, uh, the bubbles 00:02:01 and the bundles of water are still sitting in there. We don't have a, uh, smooth emulsion versus the za next adjuvant. 00:02:12 We've got a nice clear emulsion that's going to mix very conveniently with our fungicides, our herbicides, and our insecticides. 00:02:19 This is the competitor. This one's for Venza. Next, which one do you want in your tanks? 00:02:27.555 --> 00:02:27.675
