ADIOS®: The Defoliator
Being a cotton grower is already a full-time job. But when it’s time to defoliate, growers must also become economists, meteorologists, plant pathologists and fortune tellers. It’s enough to give you a headache. ADIOS® takes the guesswork out of cotton defoliation.
As the standard in defoliation, ADIOS is the right choice in any field or weather condition. Its innovative, water-based formulation makes it easy to handle, mix and apply. ADIOS works fast to drop leaves and keeps them off, regardless of the environmental conditions or plant variety.
Apply ADIOS for convenient, hassle-free defoliation. The only thing you have to worry about is how to get all of your cotton to the gin.

All too often, cotton growers have traded convenience for performance in their defoliation programs. Choosing among a bewildering array of specialized products was simply the price to pay for consistent defoliation.
Now growers can enjoy convenience and performance in one easy-to-use product. ADIOS® is the new standard in cotton defoliants. Smart growers are switching to the ease of ADIOS, which takes the guesswork out of defoliation. ADIOS does everything a grower expects from a defoliant, regardless of cotton variety or environmental conditions.
No wonder ADIOS is considered the new standard for easy cotton defoliation.
Proven Mode of Action, Innovative Formulation
ADIOS combines two familiar active ingredients, thidiazuron and diuron, for consistent performance. The water-based, suspension concentrate formulation is unlike any other defoliant on the market. Proven chemistry and a novel formulation add up to the defoliation that you demand at a competitive price.
Easy Results
ADIOS works quickly and consistently across a wide range of crop and environmental conditions, so harvest is fast and easy.
Flexibility
Nothing could be simpler than relying on one defoliant. ADIOS is easy to handle and apply, and it can easily be tank-mixed with other ethephon-based materials to address field-specific conditions.
Harvest Scheduling
Time is of the essence when harvest rolls around. Because ADIOS keeps harvest on schedule, growers make the most efficient use of their equipment, and the crop is at the gin before the weather turns bad.
Re-growth Control
ADIOS provides superior re-growth control for a cleaner harvest and higher grades at the gin. Growers can target mature growth without worrying about later re-growth forcing them to treat again.
Raising the Standard
ADIOS has been put to the test across the Cotton Belt, and it consistently delivers the benefits that growers expect:
Dependable performance across multiple environments
No adverse reaction to added adjuvants
Exceptional tank-mix flexibility
Less time cleaning spraying equipment
Consistent defoliation at a good value
