Active Ingredient : Non-toxic, Biodegradable Vinyl–Acrylic Polymers

APPLICATION RATE :
Moisture-Loc can be applied by all types of sprayers, including backpack and boom and airblast field rigs.

The standard dilution rate for Moisturin application is one part Moisturin to 10 – 50 parts water.(Makes 50 – 100 Gallons)

It can be applied as a dip or as a spray to run-off. It is recommended that high-pressure sprayers be used when applying as a spray to ensure maximum and uniform coverage. Back- pack and other low-pressure sprayers can also be used. Pour Moisturin Concentrate into measured water for easier mixing.

Good coverage is important. Two coats of Moisturin may be applied for added effectiveness, especially on leafy plants.

The second coat can be applied prior to total drying of the first coat.

Additional applications, or stronger dilutions, may be necessary for extreme situations.

As a general rule Moisturin will dry at the same rate as water. Apply at temperatures above 40 ̊F. If rain or irrigation water comes in contact with Moisturin prior to its drying, effectiveness will be lessened.

To achieve the best results with Moisturin apply as thoroughly as possible. Spray field crops in both directions if feasible. Misting will provide better efficacy on the under side of leaves for foliage plants.

Apply only when temperature is above freezing. Shelf life of moisturin is up to two(2) years.

CLEANUP : Wash all equipment with water before Moisturin dries. If vegetable oil is run through spray equipment prior to Moisturin application, cleaning will be easier.

It can be applied to pruning cuts to prevent excessive moisture loss and it reduces access of disease and insects through the cut area. It also reduces water loss and water uptake of seedlings during germination. Use Moisturin antitranspirant any time reduction of water loss would benefit plant quality and survival. Moisturin concentrate also reduces the amount of irrigation water required and the labor cost of applying it.

This Moisturin has been changed name to Moisture-Loc by the manufacturer. Same product with changing name.
