For more than 20 years, D-C-Tron Cotton has been the defoliant spray oil others have tried to match. Now we've released our new formulation D-C-Tron Cotton - which is effective at just half the rate of the old formulation (just 1L/ha versus 2 L/ha), giving you peace of mind at an economical rate and more hectares per load. With exclusive approval to use with the Dropp range, a new benchmark in defoliant spray oils has been set. Read summaries of the trials on the technical updates page.

D-C-Tron® Cotton improves the performance of defoliation chemicals by:

• reducing droplet rebound so more mixture is retained on the leaf surface;
• reducing the resistance between the leaf surface and the droplet to allow spreading over a larger area of the leaf;
• softening the cuticle, allowing easier penetration of the active ingredients;
• readily emulsifying in water to improve tank mix characteristics, thus minimising the chances of sedimentation, flocculation or creaming of the mixture; and
• controlling the evenness of chemical distribution in the spray mix so the plants receive a uniform concentration of the active ingredients.

D-C-Tron® Cotton is a reliable and trusted performer and still the only defoliant aid recommended on the Dropp label. Always refer to defoliant chemical labels for full mixing and compatibility instructions.
