LOVELAND, CO (December 16, 2025) – Loveland Products, Inc.® has announced the launch of WEATHER GARD™ ELITE, a next-generation all-in-one adjuvant designed to make spray applications simpler, more effective, and easier to manage. Building on years of trusted performance from two of their high-performing adjuvants, this enhanced formulation combines multiple functions into one easy-to-use product, now available in totes for greater convenience and flexibility.
Elite mixability. Elite coverage. Elite performance.
WEATHER GARD ELITE is a water conditioner integrating a drift reduction agent, deposition aid, antifoam/defoamer, and a penetrant, into a single, lower viscosity liquid. The lower viscosity makes it easier to handle, measure, and mix, helping applicators spend less time at the tank and more time in the field. The new formulation is powered by LECI-TECH® technology, which improves droplet deposition, spreading, and overall spray performance for optimized results in every pass.
“WEATHER GARD ELITE is a formulation of an all-in-one water conditioner designed to optimize the performance of herbicide applications to help the customer with ease of use,” said Drew Butler, Adjuvants Portfolio Manager at Loveland Products. “WEATHER GARD ELITE was formulated to simplify mixing, reduce drift, and improve penetration, so the active ingredient has a better chance of reaching its target. It’s about delivering better performance and more confidence with every application.”
In a 2025 field trial in Renville, MN, WEATHER GARD ELITE achieved 45% spray coverage, outperforming its predecessor, WEATHER GARD COMPLETE, which achieved 42% spray coverage. The product’s low viscosity ensures improved handling, better mixability, and smoother storage in bulk systems. It’s also optimized for glyphosate and 2,4-D formulations, including Enlist™ and other D-trait systems such as MAKAZE®.
Why WEATHER GARD ELITE Stands Out
- All-in-one convenience with five adjuvant functions in a single liquid formulation
- Improved droplet deposition, spreading, and penetration for better coverage
- Reduced foam and drift for more precise applications
- Enhanced water conditioning for consistent spray quality
- Easier handling, mixing, and storage
