Corbet Scientific to Introduce New Activator-Sticker Technology at Commodity Classic 2022

JACKSON, Wyo., March 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Farmers attending Commodity Classic 2022 in New Orleans, Louisiana can learn about HYDROVANT-fA^®, a new activator-sticker technology from Corbet Scientific in Booth 5605. A first-of-its-kind technology for row crops, Hydrovant-fA enhances the performance of crop inputs, including herbicides, liquid fertilizers and bio-stimulants. 

When tankmixed, Hydrovant-fA creates a dynamic coating to hold pesticides and fertilizers in place, optimizing the effectiveness of inputs while still allowing water and carbon dioxide to flow through to the plant. It is also a safe and gentle product that has never caused phytotoxicity in any trial on any crop or in any climate.

"There isn't anything like Hydrovant-fA in the U.S. row crop market. And in a year when pesticide and fertilizer prices are skyrocketing, Hydrovant-fA is a unique tool that helps growers manage those costs by amplifying efficacy," said Tom Zangrillo, vice president for Corbet Scientific. "Although Hydrovant-fA is new to this market, we have more than 30 statistically significant efficacy tests with a wide array of pesticides and fertilizers on a variety of crops in different regions and climates throughout the world."

Cornell University research demonstrated that Hydrovant-fA increased retention of bifenthrin insecticide on corn leaves by 35% to 45% following a series of artificial rainfall events, compared to leaves sprayed with bifenthrin only. The research also revealed that Hydrovant-fA significantly increases the presence of bifenthrin in and on both dry and wet corn leaves.

Replicated research trials conducted by AgroCientifica in Argentina showed that when Hydrovant-fA is added to leading commercial glyphosate formulations, the treatments provided more than 95% control against key grass and broadleaf weeds, compared to 68% control for glyphosate alone at 40 days after application.

"Corbet Scientific continues to research applications of Hydrovant-fA in row crops," said Corbet Scientific President and CEO Glenn Pacchina. "We look forward to sharing our results-to-date and introducing Hydrovant-fA to growers at Commodity Classic."
