Aqua-Yield Announces Availability of New NanoProTM
Adjuvant
Aqua-Yield CEO and co-founder Clark Bell has announced the immediate availability of Nano-Pro™ for general farm usage in easy-to-use and store 2.5-gallon containers. Each 2.5-gallon container of Nano-Pro™ will service 80 acres of farmland weed control. Bell commented, “Nano-Pro™ is different from other herbicide adjuvants because it contains an AquamizedTM formulation to more effectively deliver herbicide to plant cells through Aqua-Yield’s proprietary Nano-Shield™ delivery system.” Bell continued, “Our testing/data indicates that with Nano-Pro™, farmers will see a faster kill of weeds and a higher kill on tougher weeds. Our propriety and patented nano-formulation promotes cellular access to weeds and Nano-Pro™ can be used in combination with other great herbicide products.”
TPI Turf News January/February 2018
Campey Imants Introduces Enhancements to the Koro® FIELDTOPMAKER® New re-designed Koro® FTM® (FIELDTOPMAKER) models will be introduced in 2018. A model 1600 will replace the 1500, joining the 1200, 2000 and 2500 models. Te new models will have the latest patented UNIVERSE® rotor which offers improved clean-up and greater surface cleaning. Earlier rotors will still fit on the 2000 and 2500 but not the 1200 or 1600. A new angled cross conveyor has been introduced to move material evenly with perfect belt tracking, while the weight of the machine has been reduced with greatly improved weight balance using a 220-pound (100kg) weight that can be removed. Even when the weight is removed, the machine is still better balanced than previous models, and the center of gravity has been shifted further towards the tractor, meaning it is easier for it to be lifted, therefore the Koro® FTM® can be run using a much smaller tractor. Maintaining the new machines has also been improved to ensure working reliability. A modular setup allows the machine to run without belts and the strong, state of the art drive line is maintenance free.
