Hygro-Stic^®

Hygro-Stic is a true sticker wetter used to hold and retain your spray on the leaf surface even with dew, rain or irrigation events. You can see the sticking and retention benefit as you pour the product in the tank.

With just 1 hour sunlight Hygro-Stic forms a sticky elastic film which encapsulates and tenaciously holds the pesticide on the crop foliage. Where chemistry, like fungicides are used on overcast days with rain events a concern, Hygro-Stic will prevent wash-off, assisting with optimum performance of the chemical.

Hygro-Stic polymer film, having a similar structure to the cuticle can assist with the cuticles natural protection barrier improving pesticide performance of fungicides. Especially in broadacre crops where there might only be one chance to apply the pesticide, Hygro-Stic is the ideal sticker/wetter to use.

Improvement in droplet lifetime and penetration also occurs allowing Hygro-Stic to be used with the range of chemical actions – Contact, Translaminar or Systemic chemistry.

Hygro-Stic improves spray deposition, while improving rainfastness and wash-off, as well as minimising volatilisation and environmental breakdown, thus confirming Hygro-Stic as the wetter/sticker of choice.
