- Wetting Agent & Spreader
Wetting Agents and Spreaders are substances used in agriculture, horticulture, and other fields to improve the effectiveness of liquids applied to surfaces, such as plant leaves or soil. They are often added to pesticides, herbicides, fertilizers, or irrigation systems to enhance their distribution and absorption.
Differences Between Wetting Agents and Spreaders:
| Feature | Wetting Agent | Spreader |
|---|---|---|
| Primary Function | Reduces surface tension for penetration | Enhances even distribution over surfaces |
| Focus | Infiltration and adhesion | Coverage and spread |
| Applications | Soil and hydrophobic surfaces | Leaf sprays and plant surfaces |
Combined Usage:
- In many cases, wetting agents and spreaders are combined in agricultural products to achieve both penetration and uniform coverage.
- These combinations are particularly useful for:
- Herbicides: Ensuring proper absorption into the target plant.
- Pesticides: Maximizing contact with pests.
- Fertilizers: Improving nutrient uptake by soil or leaves.
Advantages:
- Increased effectiveness of chemical applications.
- Reduced wastage and environmental impact.
- Enhanced plant health and growth by improving water and nutrient uptake.
Wetting agents and spreaders are indispensable tools in precision agriculture and sustainable horticultural practices.
1. STICKER (NORMAL)
In agriculture, a sticker (or adjuvant) is a substance added to pesticides, herbicides, or fertilizers to enhance their adhesion to plant surfaces. This ensures that the active ingredients stay on leaves or other parts of plants longer, improving effectiveness, especially during rain or irrigation.
A normal sticker typically helps in the following ways :
- Improved Adhesion : Ensures the substance sticks to the plant surface, reducing runoff.
- Rainfastness : Helps the chemical resist washing off during rain.
- Better Coverage : Promotes even spreading of the chemical across the plant's surface.
- Longevity : Reduces the need for reapplication, saving cost and time.
DOSE : 15 ml/Ltr
2. STICKER + SPREADER (SILICONE AND ADJUVANT BASE)
Sticker + Spreader products based on silicone and adjuvants are widely used in agriculture to enhance the performance of pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, and fertilizers. These dual-function adjuvants combine spreading and sticking capabilities for improved application efficiency.
Key Features of Silicone-Based Sticker-Spreaders :
- Super Spreading : Silicone surfactants, like organosilicone, reduce the surface tension of water, allowing the solution to spread uniformly on hydrophobic surfaces like leaves. This leads to better coverage even with low water volumes.
- Excellent Adhesion : The sticker component ensures the chemical adheres to the plant, even under adverse conditions such as rain or irrigation.
- Rainfastness : Enhances the resistance of applied chemicals to washing off due to rain or irrigation.
- Enhanced Uptake : Promotes better absorption of systemic pesticides or nutrients through the plant surface.
- Reduced Waste : Improves application efficiency, minimizing runoff and ensuring that the active ingredients stay where needed.
- Compatibility : Works well with most pesticides, fertilizers, and other agricultural chemicals.
Advantages of Silicone Over Traditional Adjuvants :
- Low Use Rate : Silicone-based adjuvants are highly effective at low concentrations.
- Faster Action : Rapid spreading and adhesion reduce the drying time required before rain or irrigation.
DOSE : 5 ml/15 Ltr
