ProForce Scrubwet Penetrant.
Scrubwet penetrant is a modified poly siloxane adjuvant and a “super spreader”. It is a great non ionic soil penetrant, and also an ideal tank mix partner for herbicides like Duke herbicide.
Scrubwet increases the uptake and activity of herbicides on difficult to penetrate weeds such as “woody weeds”.
- Scrubwet is an excellent wetter and penetrant, and forms a long lasting water repellant film. In fact, work has shown that foliar fertilisers work better with this type of surfactant.
- Being a super spreader, Scrubwet, stops dew on sports turf, golf greens or golf tees for up to 14 days. The longevity depends on how wet the grass is, how severe the dew is, how often you mow, and the type of turf grass.
- Scrubwet is very effective as a soil penetrant. At low use rates it helps water move through hydrophobic turf and thatch, and enables water penetrate into the soil.
- As a spray adjuvant it improves the coverage, penetration and uptake of herbicides, fungicides, insecticides, miticides and foliar nutrients.
- It is an alternative to Pulse penetrant, and you can use this with Recondo herbicide or with soil fungicides like Segway fungicide.
- You can use this in place of other non ionic surfactants.
- It is easy to use and you can use it through a boom spray or backpack.
- Being 100% active it means that you get the best possible coverage at very low rates.
As well as the above you can use Scrubwet in an IPM program to help counter dollar spot. It achieves this by helping water move away from the leaf surface.
How Scrubwet Works.
- Helps pesticides spread evenly across plant and leaf surfaces. This ensures better coverage.
- Aids the movement of pesticides into plant tissues. Allows better uptake and efficacy.
- Improves the ability of pesticides to stick to leaf surfaces. Reduces runoff and increases effectiveness.
- Helps water rapidly move into soils.
Rates of use (always check the directions of use)
- With fungicides, insecticides and miticides: 30 to 60 ml/100 L.
- Fertilisers: 30 to 60 ml/100 L.
- To suppress dew: 1 to 5 L/Ha in 1000 L.
- As a soil penetrant: 800ml to 3 L/Ha.
