Features & Benefits
- Agrochemicals Features
- Product Highlights
- WETCIT has been extensively field tested for use with herbicides, insecticides, miticides, fungicides and foliar nutritionals and offers superior efficacy.
- In addition, a recent Oro Agri-commissioned study conducted by the University of Illinois has shown that an herbicide, in conjunction with WETCIT, is more quickly absorbed and delivers more glyphosate into weeds’ roots than other adjuvant types.
- Benefits of WETCIT plus Herbicides
- Delivery of more post-emergent, systemic herbicide to weed roots FASTER than other types of adjuvants.
- Superior spreading, wetting and penetrating properties.
- Enhanced rain fastness due to superior cuticle penetration.
- Improved movement through epicuticular wax.
- Benefits of WETCIT plus Insecticides / Fungicides / Miticides
- Quicker penetration of systemic pesticides through plant leaves’ waxy cuticles.
- Knocks down mite webbing
- Leaves no sticky residue to attract dust and cause mite flare-ups
- Does NOT increase drift
- Pleasant, non-pesticide odor reduces complaints from homeowners
- Does not decrease stomatal conductance, unlike crop oil sprays that reduce transpiration and increase plant stress
- Benefits of WETCIT use With Foliar Applied Nutrients
- Increased nutrient uptake into the plant.
- Ensures complete coverage for better nutrient distribution.
- Does not decrease stomatal conductance, unlike crop oil sprays that reduce transpiration and increase plant stress.
Applications & Uses

- Application Instructions
A real benefit to growers is the versatility WETCIT adjuvant brings to spray programs. WETCIT can act as a wetter, spreader, penetrant and a translocation aid depending on the use rate. Regardless of whether you are spraying a contact or systemic pesticide, or foliar nutrient, WETCIT can deliver it to the desired action site, giving the active ingredients the best chance for peak performance. This makes selecting the right adjuvant simple and means you don’t have to buy several adjuvants for your different spray programs.
Use Rates
- Herbicides - 25 - 100 .oz. per 100 gallons of water.
- Defoliants, Desiccants*- 32 - 64 .oz. per 100 gallons of water.
*Pending approval in CA
Recommendations
- For Spreading And Wetting Of Contact Herbicides - Mix 25 - 32 ounces of WETCIT in 100 gallons of water. Use the higher rate when spraying crops with a dense canopy or thick foliage.
- For Penetration And Translocation Of Systemic Herbicides - Mix 32 - 64 ounces of WETCIT in 100 gallons of water. Use a higher rate when weeds are mature, hardened off or under stress.
Mixing and Application Instructions
- Follow the mixing and application instructions for the pesticide(s) or foliar nutrient(s) being tank-mixed with WETCIT.
- With constant agitation, add WETCIT to the spray tank after all other materials are thoroughly dissolved or mixed.
- WETCIT will not affect the pH of the spray solution.
- Be aware that WETCIT will dissolve any residues in the tank, lines and nozzles from previous spray materials. If these residues could cause harm to the crop being sprayed, thoroughly clean your spray system before mixing WETCIT in the spray tank. Use a commercial tank cleaner or mix 20 oz. of WETCIT in 20 gallons of water and thoroughly circulate through your sprayer. Dispose of the spray solution properly.

Technical Details & Test Data
- WETCIT for Herbicide Programs
WETCIT has been shown to quicken the translocation of systemic herbicide throughout weeds.
A recent Oro Agri-commissioned study conducted by the University of Illinois has shown a simple tank mix of WETCIT with TransPhloemTM technology offers producers improved translocation of herbicides to kill weeds faster and improve field conditions for all commercial crops such as wheat, cotton, corn, and soybeans.
WETCIT provides superior results compared to other adjuvant types and various crop oils, resulting in faster weed kill off to improve the potential for higher yields.
- 9 Day Pot Study
Lambsquarters treated with Roundup PowerMAX®
WETCIT with TransPhloemTM technology quickens the translocation of systemic herbicides throughout the plant leading to a faster kill off. In the pictures above, an application of WETCIT with glyphosate resulted in a quicker kill of the lambsquarter weed.
- WETCIT for Insecticide / Fungicide / Miticide Programs
Superior spreading, wetting and penetration for superior results.
WETCIT with TransPhloemTM technology provides the ideal method for improving the efficacy of crop applications. Field tests have shown WETCIT provides better coverage and penetration to deliver more active ingredients into plants and provide a more complete barrier to infestation. Unlike oil-based adjuvants, WETCIT does not leave sticky residues and provides quicker, more complete penetration through leaf surfaces.
- WETCIT for Foliar Nutrition Programs
Better spreading and better absorption for better results.
WETCIT with TransPhloemTM technology maximizes foliar fertilization by increasing absorption of essential elements through superior deposition and ability to move through leaf surfaces. WETCIT’s TransPhloemTM technology allows for faster and more complete nutrient movement into and throughout plants than other adjuvants and surfactants. Better absorption with WETCIT’s proprietary formulation can reduce fertilization costs and increase quality and yields.
