Biodac Applications

	Row Crops Row crop planting shows Biodac® granules at their best: carrying fertilizer and pesticides to where they are most effective. Biodac granules degrade into naturally occurring soil elements, eliminating concerns associated with direct ground injection. Biodac granules also eliminate concerns about spray drift in row crop applications and treatments. Biodac 20/50 and Biodac 12/20 are the most commonly used sizes for row crop treatments for crops such as corn wheat, cereal grains, cotton, tobacco, potatoes sugar beets and other vegetables.
	Specialty Crop Applications Biodac granules are used to treat and protect specialty crops from pests. Specialty crops such as fruit trees and bananas and specialty vegetables such as mushrooms are treated with various products on Biodac granules. Biodac granules have been shown to be a cleaner, safer, and more effective delivery system in controlling insects and weeds in these crops. In select specialty crops, Biodac granules have shortened growing time and increased yields. Biodac 20/50, 12/20, and 10/30 are most often used in specialty crop treatment.
	Turf and Ornamental Maintenance Professionals in the turf, ornamental, and horticultural maintenance industry appreciate the safety, quality, and cleanliness of Biodac granules. Its lack of dust translates to less chemical exposure for applicators and end-users alike, and minimizes turf and plant damage. Biodac granular treatments eliminate drift in caring for plants, ornamentals, and green spaces in professional lawn care and landscape applications as well. Pest control products using the Biodac granular carrier can be found in use on golf courses, in treating ornamentals, as wetting agents, with PGR’s (Plant Growth Regulators), with micronutrients and metacatalyst fertilizers and soil enhancement products. Virtually all Biodac granule sizes are used in turf and ornamental maintenance.
	Home Lawn and Garden Care Home lawn and garden applications of pest control products with Biodac granules are safe and easy to apply. Homeowners will appreciate the dust-free and environmentally friendly features of Biodac. Consumer applications and products on Biodac granules include products for lawn care, soil enhancement, fast plant growth, vegetable gardening, weed & feed products and granular insect control products. Biodac sizes 4/10, 8/16, 10/30, and 12/20 are well established with home, lawn and garden care products.
	Aquatic Herbicide Biodac granules effectively treat and control weeds and destructive plants on ponds and in lakes. The granules deliver active ingredients safely and slowly with a continuous release to control harmful plants, allowing better use of the water area and resulting in a cleaner and safer aquatic environment. Biodac 4/10 and 12/20 sizes are most often used in aquatic herbicide control products.
	Air Applications For aerial applications such as mosquito control, insect control, weed control, and crop dusting, you can rely on consistent and uniform granular size for clean and continuous operation of all types of aerial application equipment. Air applications generally utilize Biodac 12/20, 8/16, and 20/50 sizes.
	Professional Pest Control Biodac sizes 4/10, 8/16, 12/20, and 10/30 are all used by professional pest control applicators and consumers in controlling harmful pests in commercial settings as well as around the home. Biodac based pest control products are available for broad spectrum control of harmful insects as well as controlling specific species such as fire ants, spiders, etc. Biodac granules can be applied using a variety of established application methods ranging from automatic equipment to a simple shaker jug. Because of its dust-free nature applying a Biodac granule-based pest control product is simple, clean, effective, and environmentally responsible.
	Organic Pest Control Biodac granules are commonly used in pest control applications that utilize natural or organic materials as the active ingredient such as citrus oils, natural minerals, and solvents. Biodac granules used with products with these types of pest control ingredients are found controlling snails and slugs, spiders, chiggers, ants, and many other types of insects.
	Manufacturing Applications Biodac granules are used by formulators to control moisture in blended fertilizer combination products such as "weed & feed" products. These applications incorporate Biodac granules as a drying agent. The innate absorptive properties of Biodac granules help keep these products dry in manufacturing and in their packaging. Biodac granules also eliminate compression and set up of the finished product so that it is always fresh in appearance and homogenously blended. Formulators in high humidity locations will appreciate the benefits of Biodac granules in these applications. Biodac is also used as a filler in blended combination and fertilizer products to help fill out a package and provide accurate weight, volume, balance, aesthetics, and no dust in the finished product. In these types of applications, Biodac granules act as filler, drying agent, and supplemental carrier, thereby enhancing the value and efficacy of the manufactured product.
