A super-spreading organo-silicone surfactant blend, suitable for use with plant protection chemistry, plant growth regulators and plant nutrition products.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE:

Half fill spray tank with water and begin agitation. Add antifoam, if required (e.g. Grochem Antifoam ‘A’). Add pesticides or plant nutrition products as directed. Once well mixed add Gro-Wet. 

GENERAL GROUND & AIR APPLICATIONS:
 
WATER/HA
RATE/100L
Dilute >500L 10-50ml
Concentrate <500L 50-125ml
COPPER FUNGICIDE APPLICATION KIWIFRUIT: 

The following
rates are recommended when spraying kiwifruit with Nordox 75WG at 2X concentrate water rates with sprayers designed, set up for and well calibrated to deliver a good even coverage. Use of Gro-Wet is not recommended with copper on kiwifruit with full dilute water rates.

NOTES: Use rates will vary depending on situation and products being used. Higher rates should be applied at low water rates and rates should decrease as water volume increases to avoid run-off. Gro-Wet has shown good plant safety. Not all plants and spray mixtures can be tested. Before treating large areas, small test areas should be treated and results observed. Formulations with phytotoxicity issues may also be aggravated by the use of products such as Gro-Wet.


FRUIT THINNING WITH THIN-IT: When using in combination with Thin-It to reduce water volume per hectare being applied. Use 100ml Gro-Wet per 100L of water. Do not use Gro-Wet unless reducing water volumes nor apply at rates higher.
 

GENERAL INFORMATION: Gro-Wet is an organosilicone super spreader surfactant. It is specifically designed for use with insecticides, fungicides, plant growth regulators and plant nutrition products.
Gro-Wet reduces spray surface tension, significantly improving coverage and uniformity of product application.
Gro-Wet enhances product retention on plant surfaces but does not give unwanted stomatal infiltration when used as
recommended. Gro-Wet is especially suited to applications where coverage is critical, particularly with low volume spraying or aerial application.
 

COMPATIBILITY: Gro-Wet is compatible with most commonly used fungicides, pesticides, plant growth regulators and plant nutrition products. Do not use with spray oils as phytotoxicity may occur.
Spray solution with a pH below 6 or higher than 8 may result in poor performance of the product.
 

WITHHOLDING PERIOD: No withholding period is required when used as directed.
