Wetting agents for plant protection.

A wetting agent, also referred to as an adjuvant, is added to the spray mixture. It reduces the surface tension of the water, helping the spray spread more evenly over the leaf, adhere better and penetrate more readily. The plant protection product itself remains unchanged.

For herbicides, fungicides and insecticides, this means:

• More even distribution over the leaf surface, including waxy or hairy leaves.
• Improved adhesion of active substances, reducing run-off.
• Faster drying and improved rainfastness after application.
• Reduced drift during fine spraying, for example in fruit growing and viticulture.

Wetting agents are well established. Efficiency has become increasingly important: active-substance quantities are falling, requirements are increasing and every pass costs money. A wetting agent that supports more reliable application is therefore part of good application practice.

Herbicides

Wetting affects weed-control performance. Many weeds have smooth or waxy leaves from which water runs off. Exzellent CS-7 helps retain the spray mixture on the leaf and allows the active substance to penetrate. Supporting herbicide performance is therefore its most common application.

Fungicides and insecticides

Distribution also matters here: an even film on the leaf surface covers a greater area with the same quantity. Rainfastness improves as the spray mixture dries more quickly.

Fruit growing and viticulture

During fine spraying at high pressure with small droplets, the wetting agent reduces drift and improves deposition in dense leaf canopies.

Mixing

Exzellent CS-7 is added to the spray mixture, not to the concentrate. The instructions for use specify the mixing order, application rate and compatibility guidance.

Which plant protection products can Exzellent CS-7 be used with?

Herbicides, fungicides and insecticides in agriculture, particularly to support herbicide performance and fine spraying in fruit growing and viticulture. Authorised uses are set out in the instructions for use.

Is Exzellent CS-7 authorised in Germany?

The product is listed in Germany and authorised in Austria.

Can I sell it under my own brand?

Yes, subject to an appropriate order quantity. We prepare the labelling and documentation with you.

Do you supply farmers directly?

No. We supply wholesalers and industry partners. Farmers obtain Exzellent CS-7 from their distributor.

Where can I find the safety data sheet?

It is available as a PDF download beside the product information on this page.
