Surfactant for Herbicides is a wetting agent with 80% non-ionic surfactant for increasing the penetration, coverage and overall effectiveness of almost any herbicide. Surfactant for herbicides can be used with almost all herbicide sprays including Trimec, Atrazine, Brush Killer and 2, 4-D Amine. Please check the herbicide product label first to see if a surfactant is recommended. Surfactants reduce the surface tension of water to produce more uniform coverage and penetration of herbicides and weed killers.

Excellent Value!
By Gmc on June 1, 2012Just what I needed to add to the weed killer to give it that extra boost for killing the weeds. This is an excellent value for the money. I would recommend everyone to use this product with sedge and weed killers.

Really good stuff
By Dan on August 24, 2011I have for years been wrestling with various annual and perennial weeds in the lawns that I manage. Specifically, various different types of crab grasses have proliferated in the late summer even after pre-emergent and several OTC post-emergent herbicide treatments. This summer with everything looking truly horrid, I used this surfactant along with Drive XLR8 to absolutely knock the crap out of my late season crab grass problems. This particular surfactant has also proved to be quite handy for increasing the apparent broadleaf weed killing effectiveness of other OTC and commercial grade herbicides.

Prosedge for Nutgrass Infestation
By Nick on September 1, 2011
Verified PurchaseI purchases two small packets of Prosedge made by Nufarm Americas, Inc. I tried other readily available herbicides but they either did not work or killed my fine lawn fescue grass. The Prosedge packet calls for two teaspoons of a non-ionic surfactant to help Prosedge work properly. After two weeks the nutgrass is brown and dying away leaving the fescue to regrow.

It's a surfectant--
By Rhonda on October 27, 2012Surfactants are available everywhere so why did I get mine on the Web? One reason: I didn't have to wade through a shelf of surfactants reading labels -- the information about the type and amount in container is up front and plain to read. Two reasons: DoMyOwn's price is as good or better as any I could get around here, and the Fusilade herbicide I needed surfactant for was coming from DMOPC anyway. I'll have no problem using up the extra. Surfectants are basically harmless to plants and a bit in pest-spraying water makes it more effective. Plain water is a good home control (at least in low-humidity California conditions) for mites, aphids, and whitefly, if you keep at it.

Surfactant
By Paul on September 14, 2012I added this stuff to EndRun and Drive XLR8 and you could see the mixture clinging to the leaves. The crab grass is gone and most other weeds are either dead or looking really bad. I used Trimec in the past and it did absolutely nothing, I tried it again with the surfactant and it actually worked somewhat. Bottom line, the surfactant really helps the herbicides stick to the foliage so it can do its job.

Pricey but worth it.
By Tony on August 28, 2012A bit pricey but well worth it in the long run when you consider what you'll save in the pesticide you're laying down. The difference in laying down pesticide with the surfactant, as opposed to without it, is staggering. As usual, DMOPC processed my order accurately and delivery was ahead of schedule.

- Very satisfied
By M on August 15, 2012I used the Surfactant along with the Fertilome Over The Top II Grass Killer by the instructions on the label. It got rid of 95% of the weedy grass that was growing in my Juniper ground cover. I will make one more application and it should get rid of all the weedy grass. The products were shipped quickly and I received them sooner than I expected.

October 13, 2011Eliberto from Mission, Tx asked:
QCan this product be used by itself, so to improve the usage of water?
I am trying to know if by using it on lawns will I be using less water, since the water will not stay on the hairy part of the grass leaf.
ASurfactant is used to help the water + plant product coat the whole leaf of plant and penetrate for better product performance. We have never heard of any one using the surfactant with water alone and we are not sure what benefit you would get from doing so. We recommend you speak with a professional gardener to see what their thoughts are on the subject or you can call the manufacturer of Non-Ionic Surfactant - Southern Ag 941-722-3285 to get their recommendations.
