Tobacco Sucker Controls: Contact

Green Tac

Green Tac is a contact sucker control material made from natural source active ingredients. Like Kleen-Tac ’85’, it is a carefully balanced combination of active ingredients, emulsifiers and wetting agents to be used for the control of sucker growth on Burley, Flue-Cured, Dark, Maryland, and Cigar Tobacco. The concentrated product is diluted with water to form a creamy emulsion which is then applied as a course spray. Green Tac is a contact sucker control material and is effective only when it comes in direct contact with suckers. The emulsion should be applied so that maximum contact is made with the suckers.
