WETCIT®

Energizer-AdjuvantT for Fungicides, Insecticides, Herbicides and Nutrients

Surfactant adjuvants are one of the most important components of the proper application of fungicides, insecticides, herbicides and nutrients. WETCIT is a new type of adjuvant, combining the attributes of a wetter/spreader, sticker and penetrator to ensure improved performance from your tank mix.

Benefits of WETCIT:

1. As a wetter , WETCIT overcomes repellent waxy and follicle protection on plants and insects that prevents tank mix from making contact with the foliage.

2. As a penetrant , WETCIT improves insecticide, fungicide and nutrient performance by improving tank mixes' ability to penetrate insect, fungi follicles and plant foliage and increase surface area contact.

3. As a spreader and water volume reducer , spray application is spread more evenly over the plant surface thereby able to cover more surface area withh much less water volume.

Coverage of citrus leaves with industry standard mineral oil.

Wetting of citrus leaves with WETCIT at 0.1% covers much more surface area with significantly lower water volume.

4. As a foliage dryer , WETCIT reduces foliage moisture deposits from rain, dew and irrigation, improving foliage drying and minimising pathogen water source thereby reducing disease.

Additional Features:

• Biodegradable
• Reduces droplet deflection and drift (without reducing droplet size)
• Improves activity during low temperature applications
• Improves solution penetration/dispersement in dense or sparse foliage coverage
• Anti-scalent, reduces tank mix nozzles clogging
• Pleasant citrus fragrance masks other tank mix odours

Rates and application:

Crop types: WETCIT is suitable for use on all edible and non-edible crops with all approved crop protection products and pesticides.

Rates: use 0.1 to 0.25% by volume or 100 to 250 ml WETCIT in 100 litre spray solution. Use the lower rates in applications where low water volumes are used. Apply spray to cover uniformly the crop foliage, but avoid point of run-off.

Volume of spray: Use WETCIT with the chosen pesticide as required by the pesticide partner, but not in less than 100 litres of water per hectare.

Note: It is reccomended to mix WETCIT as intended in a sample batch and to apply on a trial basis for compatibility and safety of usage, prior to applying on larger areas the the first time.

WETCIT: The perfect partner for systemic, translaminar and contact products, ensuring premium pest control, worker safety and crop safety.
