Descriere produs
Silwet L‑77
Silwet L‑77 is an agricultural adjuvant based on nonionic organosilicon surfactants, used to improve coverage, wetting, and penetration of plant protection solutions (herbicides, fungicides, insecticides, micronutrients). It reduces surface tension, ensuring uniform distribution on leaves and faster absorption of active ingredients, enhancing the efficacy of agrochemical treatments.
Packaging: 1 L
Description and Mode of Action
Silwet L‑77 is a superspreading adjuvant that significantly reduces surface tension compared to conventional adjuvants, allowing full coverage of leaves, including waxy or hard-to-wet surfaces. It facilitates rapid penetration of active ingredients into plant tissues and increases rainfastness.
Recommended Uses Table
| Mix Type | Purpose | Recommended Dose |
|---|---|---|
| Herbicides | Improves coverage and penetration | 25 – 50 ml per 100 L water (0.025–0.05%) |
| Fungicides & Insecticides | Better dispersion and retention | 20 – 30 ml per 100 L water (0.02–0.03%) |
| Growth Regulators | Ensures uniform coverage | 20 – 50 ml per 100 L water |
| Foliar Fertilization | Penetration and absorption | 20 ml per 100 L water |
*Values may vary depending on the crop, main product dose, and specific recommendations on the product label.*
