Features & Benefits
- General Information
Megawet is an organosilicone product specifically formulated for use with insecticides, fungicides, plant growth regulators and plant nutritional products in a range of arable and horticultural crops. Megawet should not in general be used with selective herbicides unless specifically authorized (see notes below). Megawet enhances spray coverage, spray deposition, and spray retention. Megawet allows water rates to be reduced, and is particularly useful in low water volume and aerial spraying. Unlike many organosilicones, Megawet does not cause stomatal infiltration that can otherwise damage the crop.
Applications & Uses
- Markets
- Application Technique
- Spillage
Exclude non-essential people from the area. Wear protective clothing and prevent material from entering waterways. Absorb spill with inert material such as soil, sand, etc, and place in a waste container. Wash area with water and detergent, and absorb with further inert material. Dispose of safely to a suitable landfill.
- Rates of Application
Water Rate per ha Megawet mL per 100 L < 100 125 - 300 100 - 500 50 - 125 > 500 10 - 50 Use the higher rates of Megawet in the range where • The crop is hard to wet e.g., brassicas, cereals, pasture • The crop has a dense canopy or thick foliage • The rate of companion chemical(s) is high, e.g., > 4 L or Kg per Ha The use of standard or high water rates with Megawet is not recommended as it can result in excessive run-off and reduced performance
- Mixing
Add Megawet to partly filled spray tank after the addition of the primary product. Maintain agitation through filling and spraying.

Technical Details & Test Data
- Compatibility
Megawet is compatible with most commonly used insecticides, fungicides, plant growth regulators and plant nutritional products. Do not mix with products such as a Bordeaux mixture or lime sulfur, or with other products that have a high alkalinity. Avoid use in spray solutions with a pH below 5 or above 9. Do not mix with spray oils as increased crop damage may occur.
Safety & Health
- Precautions
Avoid contact with eyes and skin. Avoid inhalation of spray mist. When mixing or applying, wear overalls, boots, gloves, and eye protection. Clean protective clothing daily after work. Do not eat, drink or smoke while using. Remove protective clothing and wash hands and face thoroughly before meals and after work.
- Environmental
Use this product carefully. Do not contaminate aquatic environments with product, spray drift or empty container. Do not allow spray drift outside the target area to occur.
- Herbicides
Maize (Post Emergent Spray Only): Use 100 mL/ha of Megawet in 100 L/ha water. Do not use pre-emergent. Other Crops: As Megawet can reduce selectivity, do not use with herbicides on other crops unless local experience has shown it to be safe, or advice has been received from an Orion AgriScience representative.
