SuperSaver Silicon-Based Spreader & Penetrator

SuperSaver is an advanced agricultural surfactant that helps farmers get the maximum value from every foliar spray. The product is built on Silicon Spreader technology, an organosilicone-based wetting agent that drastically lowers the surface tension of spray water. Silicon Spreader works by helping droplets spread out as a thin, uniform film across the entire leaf surface, including waxy and hairy leaves where regular sprays slide off. The product also pulls the dissolved insecticide, fungicide, or fertilizer through leaf stomata, taking the active ingredient deeper into plant tissue. This Silicon Spreader improves coverage, rainfastness, and uptake all at once, while saving water and reducing spray drift across all major crops.

Key Features and Benefits of Silicon Spreader:

• Super Spreading: Silicon Spreader pulls down water surface tension and creates a thin, even film across the whole leaf, even on waxy crops.

• Stomatal Penetration: SuperSaver carries the spray deep into the leaf through open stomata, raising the working strength of the active ingredient.

• Rainfast Quickly: Silicon Spreader binds the spray to the leaf within a short time, reducing wash-off from sudden rain.

• Saves Water and Cost: SuperSaver allows farmers to use less water and a smaller spray volume per acre while getting better leaf coverage.

• Reduces Spray Drift: Silicon Spreader helps droplets settle onto leaves instead of drifting away in the wind, lowering off-target loss.

• Works in Hard Water: SuperSaver stays effective even in hard water and during extreme weather conditions.

• Wide Compatibility: Silicon Spreader can be tank-mixed with insecticides, fungicides, herbicides, foliar fertilizers, and biostimulants.

Silicon Spreader Uses:

SuperSaver can be added to a wide range of foliar sprays for better performance:

• Insecticides: Contact and systemic insecticides on all crops, for better leaf coverage and pest contact.

• Fungicides: Both protective and systemic fungicides for stronger leaf adhesion and uniform spread.

• Herbicides: Selective and non-selective weed killers for stronger leaf uptake and faster action.

• Foliar Fertilizers and Micronutrients: NPK, calcium, magnesium, zinc, and other water-soluble sprays for better leaf absorption.

• Plant Growth Regulators: PGRs and biostimulants for uniform leaf wetting and complete crop response.

• Bioproducts: Biofungicides, bioinsecticides, and microbial sprays for better delivery to the target.

Silicon Spreader Dose:

Mix SuperSaver in the spray tank as the final ingredient after all other agro-inputs have been added. Use only the recommended dose, as overuse can cause excess foaming:

Note: Do not exceed the recommended dose, as too much surfactant can cause leaf burn on tender new growth.

How to Use Silicon Spreader:

1. Fill the spray tank with clean water to about three-quarters of its capacity.

2. Add the main agro-input (insecticide, fungicide, fertilizer, or herbicide) and stir well.

3. Top up the tank with the remaining water and stir again to mix thoroughly.

4. Add SuperSaver Last at the recommended dose and stir gently to mix.

5. Avoid shaking the spray tank too hard, as it can create excess foam.

6. Spray uniformly on both the upper and lower sides of leaves using a fine-mist nozzle.

7. Use the prepared spray within the same day; do not store the mixed spray overnight.

8. Rinse the sprayer with clean water after the work is finished.

Best Time to Apply:

Silicon Spreader can be added to any foliar spray, so timing depends on the main product being applied. Spraying in the cool hours of early morning or late evening, when humidity is high and wind speed is low, gives the best response. Avoid spraying just before rain.

Frequency of Application and Re-entry Period:

• Frequency of Application: Add SuperSaver to every foliar spray for the best leaf coverage and uptake. The product can be used through the entire crop cycle whenever a foliar spray is applied.

• Re-Entry Period: There is no waiting period. Field work can resume once the spray dries on the leaves.

• Compatibility: Silicon Spreader is compatible with most pesticides, fungicides, herbicides, foliar fertilizers, and bioproducts. Avoid mixing with strong alkaline products and always do a small jar test first.

Safety Precautions and Handling:

• Always add the product last to the spray tank to avoid excessive foaming and to keep the main spray fully dispersed.

• Do not shake the spray tank vigorously after adding Silicon Spreader; gentle stirring is enough and avoids foam build-up.

• Use the lower end of the dose range on tender young leaves and seedlings, since high surfactant levels can cause foliar burn.

• Avoid using the product in greenhouses with poor ventilation, as enhanced uptake can sometimes cause minor leaf burn on shade-grown crops.

• Silicon Spreader makes herbicides more powerful, so be extra careful with herbicide drift onto neighbouring crops when used together.

• Wear gloves and a face mask while handling the concentrate, since the surfactant can mildly irritate the skin and eyes.

• Do not spray on plants under heat or drought stress, as faster uptake of active ingredients can worsen leaf damage.

Storage Instructions:

• Store SuperSaver in its original sealed bottle in a cool, dry, shaded place away from direct sunlight.

• Keep the product separate from food, animal feed, seeds, and drinking water at all times.

• Always keep Silicon Spreader out of reach of children, pets, and farm animals.

• Storage Temperature: Between 10°C and 30°C

• Shelf Life: 2 years from the date of manufacture when stored sealed and cool.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) — SuperSaver / Silicon Spreader:

Q1. What is the difference between a spreader, sticker, and penetrant — does SuperSaver do all three?

A spreader lowers water surface tension so droplets cover more leaf area. A sticker makes the spray stay on the leaf surface. A penetrant carries the active ingredient through the leaf. SuperSaver does all three jobs in one product through its Silicon Spreader technology.

Q2. Why use Silicon Spreader instead of household soap or detergent in the spray tank?

Household soap and detergent are foam-makers, not super-spreaders. Silicon Spreader reaches a much lower surface tension, spreads droplets across waxy and hairy leaves where soap fails, and also pushes the spray through leaf stomata for better uptake.

Q3. Can SuperSaver Silicon Spreader let me cut down my pesticide dose?

Many farmers cut their pesticide dose by 15 to 25% when using SuperSaver, because more of the active ingredient actually reaches and enters the leaf instead of running off. Always do a small trial first before reducing the dose on the whole field.

Q5. Is SuperSaver safe to use with herbicides like glyphosate?

Yes, SuperSaver works well with herbicides like glyphosate, paraquat, and 2,4-D, and often makes them work faster. Take extra care to avoid drift onto neighbouring crops, since the boosted uptake also affects nearby plants if they get sprayed.

Q6. How does Silicon Spreader improve the rainfastness of my pesticide spray?

This product pulls the spray droplets flat against the leaf and helps the active ingredient enter through the stomata within minutes. So even if rain falls 30 to 60 minutes after spraying, much of the product is already inside the leaf and safe from wash-off.
