Key Benefits of LeafBond
LeafBond adjuvants are essential tools in maximizing the efficiency and effectiveness of your pesticide applications. Here’s how they work to give you better results:
- Increase Spray Deposition in the Crop Canopy: LeafBond helps ensure that your pesticide reaches deep into the crop canopy, where it’s needed most. This increased deposition leads to more effective pest control and better overall crop protection.
- Reduce Drift Potential: By minimizing drift, LeafBond ensures that your pesticides stay where they’re intended, reducing waste and the risk of off-target effects.
- Improve Spray Penetration Through the Leaf Cuticle: LeafBond enhances the ability of your spray to penetrate the leaf cuticle, allowing the active ingredients to reach their target more effectively and providing better pest control.
- Reduce Evaporation Loss: LeafBond helps your pesticide spray stay on the leaf surface longer, reducing evaporation and ensuring that more of the active ingredient is absorbed by the plant.
- Better Wetting of the Leaf Surface: By improving wetting, LeafBond ensures a more even distribution of the pesticide across the leaf surface, leading to more uniform coverage and better results.
- Uniform Spray Distribution: LeafBond promotes a more consistent distribution of your pesticide spray, ensuring that every part of your crop receives the protection it needs.
- Conditioning of Water for Less Pesticide Tie-Up: LeafBond conditions the water used in your pesticide mix, reducing the risk of pesticide tie-up and ensuring that more of the active ingredient is available for pest control.

A LeafBond™ Surfactant
WHAT IS IT?
CobSafe™ 1Q is a uniquely formulated alkylphenol ethoxylate (APE) free surfactant-based adjuvant developed to increase deposition and reduce drift potential.
WHY USE IT?
CobSafe 1Q will not cause arrested ear syndrome in corn because it is APE free.
HOW TO USE IT
Pre-tassel fungicide and/or herbicide applications in corn.
RATE: 1 qt./100 gallons of water (0.25% v/v)
A LeafBond™ Drift Mitigation Agent
WHAT IS IT?
DriftLock™ 2Q is a drift control, deposition aid, and foliar retention adjuvant
WHY USE IT?
When additional drift control is needed in ground applications, without additional surfactant load, DriftLock™ 2Q provides an easy-to-use solution with a low use rate.
HOW TO USE IT
Post applied herbicides when environmental conditions
are sub-optimal.
RATE: 2 qt./100 gallons of water (0.5% v/v)


A LeafBond™ MSO
WHAT IS IT?
Inferno™ 2Q is a non-ionic blend of surfactants and methylated seed oil (60/40 MSO) designed for use with a broad range of pesticides where an MSO is required.
WHY USE IT?
Inferno™ 2Q increases contact activity and penetration of the spray while providing uniform coverage on leaf surfaces. It “HEATS UP” burndown mixes for maximum heat and burndown effectiveness. Inferno™ 2Q will maximize burndown effectiveness when outside temperatures are cold and/or weed density is high.
HOW TO USE IT
Burndown herbicide mixes
RATE: 2 qt/100 gallons of water (0.5%v/v)
A LeafBond™ NIS
WHAT IS IT?
LeafLock™ 1Q is a premium 90% non-ionic surfactant (NIS) and can be used with a broad range of pesticides where an NIS is recommended.
WHY USE IT?
LeafLock™ 1Q improves the effectiveness of herbicides, insecticides, and fungicides by helping to “LOCK” the spray on leaf surfaces, providing more uniform distribution and better wetting of the plant surface.
HOW TO USE IT
Post-applied herbicide mixes in corn, soybeans, and wheat.
RATE: 1 qt/100 gallons of water (0.25% v/v)


A LeafBond™ Tank Cleaner
WHAT IS IT?
A premium tank cleaner to ensure the safe removal of pesticides in both the spray tank and spray system, including lines and nozzles.
WHY USE IT?
Removing all pesticide residue before switching to mixtures that would negatively affect a susceptible crop is critically important to the health of your crop. Flushing both your spray tank and sprayer system with only water or with inferior tank cleaners increases your risk of crop injury. When following the recommended “Triple Rinse” procedure, TripleRinse™ provides peace of mind that your transition to the next pesticide program will come at no additional cost from crop injury.
HOW TO USE IT
RATE: 1 qt/100 gallons of water (0.25%v/v)
RINSE PROCEDURE:
Use 10% of the tank’s capacity per rinse.
Step 1: Start with an empty tank.
Step 2: Rinse #1 Utilizing clean water (10% of tank capacity) and TripleRinse™ at the recommended rate, flush the boom until the water coming out of the nozzles looks clean.
Step 3: Remove and clean all screens and nozzles in a water/TripleRinse™ solution.
Step 4: Remove and clean boom end caps in a water/TripleRinse™ solution.
Step 5: Rinse #2 Utilizing clean water (10% of tank capacity) and TripleRinse™ at the recommended rate, flush the boom.
Step 6: Rinse #3 utilizing clean water
NEW FOR 2025! A LeafBond™ Defoamer
WHAT IS IT?
FoamAway™ is a two-mode of action foam control product. It works as both an antifoam agent (prevents foam,) as well as a defoamer (eliminates foam).
WHY USE IT?
FoamAway™ provides efficient foam control with the dual mode of action formulation. One product can take care of existing foam while also preventing foam from occurring in the first place.
HOW TO USE IT
Prior To Foam Formation:
If you are using a product known to produce foam, add FoamAway™ to the spray mixture before foam formation. As a general rule, use .5 oz./100 gallons of water under most conditions. Applying 1-2 oz./100 gallons of water may be necessary under more difficult foam circumstances.
After Foam Formation:
If a mister is available, FoamAway™ can be diluted with water at a 50% ratio and sprayed over the foam to collapse existing foam challenges.
If a mister is not available, direct a small stream of FoamAway™ into the foam and continue to repeat until foam is manageable.


A LeafBond™ Crop Oil
WHAT IS IT?
Igniter™ 2Q is a high load 60/40 crop oil. It is designed for use with a broad range of pesticides where a crop oil concentrate adjuvant is required or recommended.
WHY USE IT?
For burndown applications, Igniter™ 2Q aids in providing a quicker and more thorough burndown of weeds, IGNITING your burndown herbicide mixes. For in-crop applications, Igniter™ 2Q improves spray deposition in the canopy and enhances both spray coverage on leaf surfaces and penetration of the spray through the leaf cuticle, reducing evaporation.
HOW TO USE IT
Burndown herbicide mixes and in-crop herbicide mixes where a crop oil concentrate is recommended
RATE: 2 qt/100 gallons of water (0.5%v/v)
A LeafBond™ Aerial Adjuvant System
WHAT IS IT?
TargetLock™ 4Z is a uniquely formulated low-use rate adjuvant developed for both aerial and ground applications.

HOW TO USE IT
Aerial fungicide applications with drone, airplanes, and helicopters.
RATE: 4 oz./A.


A LeafBond™ Water Conditioner, DRA, and NIS
WHAT IS IT?
A “Triple” (three-way) blend of water conditioning salts and nonionic surfactant formulated with a concentrated drift reduction/deposition agent.
WHY USE IT?
TripleBond™ 2Q adds convenience by reducing the number of products added to your spray tank. It optimizes herbicide performance by preventing hard water mineral antagonism of spray mixtures, reducing the production of small droplets that are susceptible to drift off-target, and improving the deposition of droplets on the leaf surface.
HOW TO USE IT
Post-applied herbicide passes where drift control is important. Approved for use with Enlist herbicide mixes.
RATE: 2 qt/100 gallons of water (0.5%v/v)
A LeafBond™ Water Conditioner
WHAT IS IT?
WaterSoft™ 1Q is a low-use rate liquid water conditioner.
