Firewater: Boosting Herbicide Performance While Delivering Nitrogen

Across the country, growers are seeing firsthand how Firewater is changing the way they manage crop protection. Both independent studies and farmer feedback consistently point to one clear advantage: when used as a carrier for herbicides, Firewater not only improves chemical efficacy but also allows for lower herbicide rates without sacrificing weed control.

Why Nitrogen as a Carrier Matters

The idea of using nitrogen solutions as carriers for crop chemicals is not new. For years, products like UAN have been blended with herbicides to “heat up” their performance. However, these traditional nitrogen sources often come with drawbacks: they may be harsh on crops, carry high amounts of salts and impurities, or fail to mix well with certain chemistries.That’s where Firewater sets itself apart. Unlike conventional carriers, Firewater is engineered with low mineral content and unique high-energy properties, making it not only compatible with many chemical mixes but also capable of enhancing their effectiveness in the field.

Better Results with Less Chemical

One of the most exciting benefits growers report is the ability to reduce herbicide use significantly—often to as little as one-third of the standard rate—while still achieving the same weed control. This translates to real cost savings on chemical inputs while still protecting yield potential. And because Firewater is also a nitrogen source, the crop gains an added nutritional boost with every pass.

How It Works

The high energy nature of Firewater helps to improve the absorption and action of herbicides on target weeds. At the same time, its clean formulation minimizes antagonism or tie-ups that can happen when mixing with traditional fertilizers. The result is a carrier that supports faster uptake and stronger performance.
