Captain 20 CS Spray Water pH Regulator and Adjuvant for Pesticides and Fertilizers – 1 L

Captain 20 CS is a high-efficiency pH regulator and spray water conditioner developed to improve the quality of agricultural spray solutions and boost the performance of pesticides and foliar fertilizers on all crops. It lowers and regulates the pH of spray water, helping keep active ingredients stable and reducing their breakdown in the spray tank, especially with alkaline or well water. Its spreading and wetting properties improve droplet distribution on plant surfaces, increasing coverage, adhesion and uptake for maximum benefit from pest control and foliar feeding programs. It also contains phosphorus and potassium to support plant activity and improve the efficiency of spraying and fertilization.

Key Features

• Lowers and regulates spray water pH, keeping pesticides and fertilizers effective and stable in the tank.
• Reduces alkaline hydrolysis of active ingredients, improving pesticide performance and control results.
• Acts as a spreader and wetting agent for better spray distribution and leaf coverage.
• Improves adhesion of the spray solution to leaves and reduces droplet loss from runoff or drift.
• Helps increase uptake of pesticides and foliar fertilizers and their movement within the plant.
• Improves the quality of well water and alkaline water and the efficiency of spray and foliar feeding programs.
• Contains phosphorus and potassium to support plant activity through different growth stages.
• Suitable for most pest control and foliar fertilization programs on vegetables, trees and field crops.

Directions for Use

Spray water pH regulation:

• Add Captain 20 CS to the spray tank first, before pesticides or fertilizers, with continuous agitation for best results.
• Recommended rate: 1 L per 1,000 L of water.

Practical spray conversion:

• 1 mL per 1 L of water.
• 20 mL per 20 L tank.
• 100 mL per 100 L tank.
• 200 mL per 200 L tank.
• 600 mL per 600 L tank.
• 1,000 mL per 1,000 L tank.

Through irrigation systems:

• 2–5 L/ha depending on the crop and program requirements.

Suitable Crops

• Open-field and protected vegetables.
• Tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers and eggplant.
• Fruit trees, citrus, grapes, pomegranate and olives.
• Field crops and forage.
• Nurseries and ornamentals.

Compatibility

• Compatible with most common pesticides and fertilizers.
• Carry out a jar test before using new or untested mixtures.
• Add to the spray water first, before the other mix components.

Precautions

• Do not exceed the recommended rates.
• Measure spray water pH when using highly alkaline water.
• Spray during moderate times of day, morning or evening.
• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
• Keep out of reach of children and away from food and animal feed.
• Wear suitable protective equipment during mixing and application.

Orkida Tip

• With well water or highly alkaline water, adding Captain 20 CS before pesticides and fertilizers improves spray solution quality and reduces alkaline breakdown of active ingredients, raising control and foliar feeding efficiency and getting more out of every spray.
