May has arrived, and that means seeding is in full swing! As you head into your fields, water quality plays an important role in the effectiveness of your pre-seed burndown.
Does your water make the cut?
Water is one of the cheapest inputs and can be one of our biggest assets. The quality of the water utilized is a key factor in determining the efficacy of a herbicide, pesticide, or foliar fertilizer application. Is your hard water holding these valuable products back?

Water Conditioning = Delivers the Genetic Potential
Whether it’s a preseed burndown, in-crop or pre-harvest, attention should be paid to spray water quality because hard water (cations) can bind to herbicides and pesticides – decreasing efficacy. By softening the spray water in the tank, ModipHy helps ensure that growers get the most out of each pass over the field.
- Adding ModipHy to your tank mix can maximize chemistry efficacy by balancing your pH and softening hard water.
- ModipHy neutralizes the free ions present in hard water, preventing herbicides/pesticides from reacting with hard water cations like magnesium, iron and calcium.
- ModipHy’s surfactant package ensures that more herbcide gets into the leaf reducing the effect of these plant-borne cations.
- ModipHy helps glyphosate penetrate dusty or dirt-covered weeds.
