Nuvano™ Pure approved as a tank-mix partner for Enlist One® and Enlist Duo®

Mon, 26 Jan 2026 20:49:42 GMT

Nuvano™ is pleased to share that Nuvano™ Pure appears on the Enlist® approved tank-mix product lists for both Enlist One® and Enlist Duo® .

Why it matters:

S pray performance starts with water. Nuvano Pure is built to help condition hard water and adjust pH so your carrier is optimized before you add herbicides, nutrition, or biologicals.

How to use:
Add Nuvano Pure early in the load (after water) at label rates, then continue your normal mixing order. As always, follow Enlist label guidance and do a jar test for compatibility.

Introducing Nuvano Pure

Wed, 19 Nov 2025 19:09:51 GMT

Most hard water has a pH of 6.5-8.5 and is loaded with calcium and magnesium. Most tank mixed pesticides and crop inputs are the most effective at a pH of 4-6. Just 1-2 pints of Nuvano™ Pure per 100 gallons will drop the pH of your tank by 2-4 points making your water optimal for spraying.
