Wetting Agent

“Spraying is perhaps the weakest link in the chain of events that a pesticide follows through its development process. Some researchers claim that up to 70% of the success of pesticide use will depend on spraying” – Penn State University

It is also estimated that due to losses during transport, application, retention and absorption, only 15%-25% of the spray solution actually passes into the plant. – FRI New Zealand

WETCIT NEO as a wetting agent:

In a multitude of independent experiments it has been proven that the effectiveness of widely used insecticides, acaricides and fungicides can be optimized with the use of WETCIT NEO as a wetting agent.

In addition, WETCIT NEO reduces the surface tension of water, significantly improving the dispersion of spray droplets and coverage on the target surface.

The product helps in better penetration of the spray liquid in inaccessible places, either in plants with hydrophobic surfaces, or in plants with dense foliage (e.g. in the dense canopy of citrus fruits and also in the trunk of deciduous trees and vines, where pests such as mealybugs, scales, thrips, etc. can be hidden).

OROWET technology improves the immediate action of pesticides through:

• Wetting of the waxy exoskeleton of insects.
• Wetting of the hydrophobic external mycelia and spores of fungi.
• The penetration of insecticides through the respiratory pores and protective membranes of insects.

The use of WETCIT NEO in spray solutions optimizes the effectiveness of contact herbicides and systemic products (e.g. MCPA and glyphosate) which are absorbed through the foliage.

The addition of WETCIT NEO to spray solutions prevents the accumulation of spray residues in the tanks and equipment used for spraying. It also prevents the clogging of the nozzles and therefore improves the efficiency of the application.
