Enhancing efficacy | Tackling Spray Water Challenges | Villa Crop Protection | Dr Brian de Villiers Unlisted

Are spray water conditions reducing your product performance without you realising it? In this webinar, Dr Brian de Villiers, adjuvant expert, explains how water quality affects spray efficacy, from mixing in the tank to droplet drying on the leaf. He unpacks key factors like cations, pH, buffering capacity and turbidity, and shows how they influence absorption, compatibility and overall control. You’ll learn how to identify risks, adjust spray water correctly and use adjuvants to improve efficacy and protect your investment. 🎧 Listen on YouTube: Enhancing efficacy | Tackling Spray Water Challenges | Villa Crop Protection | Dr Brian de Villiers - YouTube [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1c9q28dkZc] 👉 Previous & Upcoming Webinars: https://www.villacrop.co.za/elementor...

Is Your Spray Hitting the Target? | Spray Tech Webinar 1 | Villa Crop Protection | Voltan Senekal

Are you getting the most out of your spray application, or is valuable product being lost before it reaches the target? In this first Spray Technology Webinar, Voltan Senekal, National Marketing Manager at Villa Crop Protection, takes you through the science and real-world realities of spray application. From nozzle selection to droplet behaviour, drift risk and penetration into the canopy. This practical, data-driven session draws on insights from global research and field demonstrations, helping producers and advisors make better decisions to reduce spray losses, improve efficacy and protect return on investment. You’ll learn: • What really happens to spray droplets between the nozzle and the plant • Why nozzle choice, pressure and droplet size matter • How environmental factors increase application risk • How better spray technology leads to better coverage, retention and control. This is Webinar 1 in a Spray Technology series. More webinars, including the role of adjuvants and spray retention, presented by Dr Brian de Villiers, are coming soon. Details to follow. Trusted by farmers for over three decades, Villa Crop Protection continues to invest in research-driven solutions to help growers spray smarter and farm more efficiently. 👉 Find any Villa Product on our Website: https://www.villacrop.co.za [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbXdJYzhnd3Jsd2daMF9mN1dSRWFaTFcwczlUZ3xBQ3Jtc0tsTFpfVllsTG9WX2xiaWRualBhWU1XNnNOUWs3Z1c3eWhYc25aOU9pd29XSjhqQ05wVTJRaXNrTFU2MDF4SFJGQTNiaFRSOVptR2dQNVUwdjhQZ0tPSWttUS1nVTE3bjk4TUJ6dXgzdTdyckhhVF9oMA&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.villacrop.co.za%2F&v=a66wXR6zh-s]  👉 Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/a66wXR6zh-s [https://youtu.be/a66wXR6zh-s ]

Why Villa Recommends AMS (Ammonium Sulphate) Adjuvants Over Alternatives: Trials Show Better Glyphosate Performance

Discover why glyphosate sometimes underperforms—and how to fix it—for cleaner, more reliable weed control. This video, authored by adjuvant expert Dr. Brian de Villiers and RDI manager Dr. Johan Huyser, is based on independent trials conducted by Curativo and the Agricultural Research Council (ARC). In this video, you’ll find clear answers to questions like: Why should I add AMS (Ammonium Sulphate) to glyphosate sprays to improve efficacy? Can AMS replacements really match ammonium sulfate in overcoming hard-water antagonism? What exactly is “hard water antagonism,” and how does it block glyphosate uptake? Through compelling lab, glasshouse, and field trials, we show that only AMS-based adjuvants—VELOCITY® DRYMAX and CLASS ACT® NG—consistently deliver improved weed control and season-long performance. Trust Villa’s science-backed recommendation for optimized glyphosate mixing and unmatched herbicide results. To read the full report: https://www.villacrop.co.za/is-villa-...
