A patent pending, next generation water hardness corrector and pH buffer solution. Salicide is comprised of cutting-edge active ingredients combined with the latest formulation advancements to create an ultra concentrated solution, ultimately reducing our carbon footprint.
Salicide effectively buffers the pH, Sequesters 100% of cations Ca⁺⁺,Mg⁺⁺, Fe⁺⁺, and Al⁺⁺ renders the bivalent cations non-active to bind to crop protection molecules. Increases tank mix compatibility and stabilization of actives within crop protection products.
Demonstration trials on Teff grass showcasing Salicide outperforming conventional ammonium sulfate (AMS) by boosting herbicide efficacy. The technology delivers by 100% sequestering cations, calcium and magnesium, which enhances spray solution stability and improves the bioavailability of active ingredients. This results in more consistent increased uptake efficiency—ultimately leading to improved treatment performance under hard water conditions.

Delivers more active ingredient in less volume, improving application efficiency, reducing packaging waste, and enhancing product stability—making it a key innovation in sustainable crop protection.
This colorimetric test assesses the presence of free cations that make water hard. Pink: High hardness — free cations remain unbound; active ingredient is largely inactivated. Purple: Partial sequestration — some cations are chelated; active ingredient is only partially available. Blue: Complete sequestration — all target cations are bound; active ingredient is fully bioavailable and unbound.
Buffering matrix designed to stabilize spray mixture solution to the optimal pH required ensuring consistent performance of active ingredients in variable water conditions.
Patent-pending formulation featuring advanced, next-generation active ingredients for superior performance.
