Fulltec Max Effective weed control in Australian farming systems is not just about the active ingredient in the drum.

As resistance pressures grow, seasonal conditions tighten, and margins narrow, success increasingly hinges on how herbicides are applied, not just which ones are chosen.

In both knockdown and pre-emergent programs, spray efficiency has become a critical piece of the puzzle – and that’s where modern spray adjuvants such as Fulltec Max come into play.

It’s important to be clear from the outset: Fulltec Max is not a herbicide.

It is a multi-functional spray adjuvant, designed to enhance the performance of knockdown and pre-emergent herbicides by improving spray quality, coverage, retention and uptake.

In practical terms, it helps growers get more reliable results from the chemistry they are already using.

Knockdown applications remain the foundation of weed management across much of Australia.

Whether in fallow, pre-sowing, or double-knock situations, growers rely heavily on glyphosate and partner products to control emerged weeds before planting.

However, factors such as water hardness and alkalinity, dust, leaf structure, temperature and humidity can all compromise herbicide performance.

Fulltec Max works by reducing surface tension, helping spray droplets spread and stick to leaf surfaces, while also conditioning water and stabilising tank mixes.

The result is improved herbicide contact and uptake, particularly under less-than-ideal conditions.

From an operational perspective, one of the standout benefits of Fulltec Max is simplicity.

Acting as a surfactant, wetter, penetrant and water conditioner in a single product, it can replace multiple adjuvants in the spray shed.

For growers and contractors managing tight spray windows, fewer products mean faster tank loading, reduced handling risk, and greater consistency across paddocks.

Applied at low use rates, it also offers logistical and economic efficiencies that resonate in large-scale operations.

Pre-emergent herbicides play an increasingly important role in long-term weed management strategies, particularly as resistance challenges escalate.

While pre-emergents focus on creating a soil barrier to prevent weed germination, the success of these products still depends on accurate and uniform application.

When pre-emergent herbicides are applied as liquids – either alone or in combination with knockdown products – spray quality and distribution are critical.

As a spray adjuvant, Fulltec Max supports even coverage and reliable delivery of active ingredients, helping to maximise the effectiveness of pre-emergent programs.

Australian agriculture is defined by variability – in soils, climates and weed spectrums.

Products which can perform consistently across regions and systems are highly valued.

Fulltec Max is compatible with all major herbicides, pesticides and liquid fertilisers, making it a versatile tool in integrated weed management programs.

In a landscape where every pass matters and every input must justify its place; spray adjuvants are no longer an afterthought.

By improving herbicide performance, reducing complexity and supporting better application outcomes, Fulltec Max demonstrates how a well-designed spray adjuvant can add measurable value to both knockdown and pre-emergent weed control strategies.

As growers plan their next knockdown or pre-emergent program, now is the time to take a closer look at spray application itself.

Talk to your agronomist, review your spray setup, and consider whether a multifunctional spray adjuvant like Fulltec Max could help you get more from every pass across the paddock this season.
