hi. any chance you can tell me(us) what a good sticker agent would be for Zero Tolerance (Zero-Tol)?
i used it yesterday, and the leaves i COULD get up-close
to and really plaster with it seemed to take it in, but those others.....simply because the label told me to not mix it with anything other than plain water, but i might not have paid attention to it saying what to use for a
wetting agent....i wish i had the manual right here, but...

I have never used Zerotol nor do I sell it. So all I can share is the information I found on the label & some experience from plant researchers & several customers who have used it.

Per the label, Zeroltol contain a "minimal amount of surfactant to which the user may wish to add more". I have always advocated the use of a good non-ionic suractant with all fungicide sprays & this is no exception. This year I have started using a true "organo-silicone surfactant" called Hawkeye. I don't have enough nice things to say about how it has improved the results of my conventional fungicide program. Hawkeye id from us. LESCO. A similar material would be Silwet 77 from Helena Chemical. There may be others.

You relly wouldn't want to chance adding anything else to Zerotol because it is a strong oxidizer.

Here is a new copy of the full text specimen label:

For the record, I have read & heard of control stradegies using Zerotol where the user found efficacy around 3%. This was documented at URI. That's pretty bad.

I use a non-ionic organic surfactant called coco-wet. It seems to work pretty good for me. I use it with fungicides, insecticides, seaweed for foliar feeding ect.
