AUSWET 1000 is a non-ionic 1000g/L wetting agent for improvement of spray coverage when using agricultural chemicals.
AUSWET 1000 can be used where the addition of a non-ionic surfactant is recommended on the agricultural label.
Available in 5L and 20L packs.
Situation | Rate per 100L | Critical Comments |
Non-Selective Herbicides | 25 – 100mL | Use the higher rate on waxy, hairy or hard to wet surfaces. Increase rate for dry soils |
Selective Herbicides | 25 – 100mL | Use when a surfactant is recommended on herbicide labels. Use the higher rate on waxy, hairy or hard to wet surfaces |
Soil residual herbicides | 100 – 400mL | When applied with soil residual herbicides to standing weeds, add AUSWET 1000 to thoroughly wet foliage. Consult product labels for individual recommendations |
Horticulture Insecticides, fungicides and Growth regulators | 40 – 100mL | Vary rate according to the volume and nature of the target. Use only when recommended on product labels |
Paraquat and Diquat Herbicides | 25 – 100mL | Vary rate according to spray volume. Select rate in accordance with product labels |
Pasture Topping | 125mL | As above |
Watering of turf and dust abatement. As additive to water | 40 – 100mL | Use a higher rate when watering turf |
Fire Fighting | 5mL | In this field, AUSWET 1000 has the advantage of less weight to carry compared with less concentrated surfactants and of being non-flammable.It increases the wetting power of water which assists in quick control and mopping up of fires. It is of particular value where water may not be readily available, when a less drenching spray is needed and a tankful will cover a bigger area. |
