IIL AgroSpred Max — Silicone-Based Super Spreader & Sticker
IIL AgroSpred Max is a high-performance, silicone-based super spreader and sticker designed to improve foliar spray coverage, droplet spreading and rainfastness of pesticides, fungicides, foliar nutrients and biologicals. By reducing surface tension and enhancing retention, AgroSpred Max helps active ingredients reach more leaf area and remain on the plant surface longer for improved efficacy.

Improve spray wetting, spread, retention and rainfastness
Recommended Dose
5 ml per 15 litres of spray water
Application Method
Add to spray tank during mixing; apply as foliar spray with pesticides, nutrients or biologicals
Key Features & Benefits
Superior spreading: Silicone chemistry reduces surface tension for excellent leaf coverage and uniform droplet spread.
Improved retention: Acts as a sticker to reduce wash-off and improve rainfastness of sprays.
Enhanced efficacy: Better contact and retention helps increase effectiveness of pesticides, fungicides and foliar feeds.
Low use rate: Effective at low dosage (5 ml / 15 L), economical to use.
Versatile: Suitable for a wide range of foliar applications — chemical and biological (check compatibility).
Usage & Mixing Instructions
Shake the container well before use.
Add recommended water volume to spray tank and begin agitation.
Measure and add 5 ml AgroSpred Max per 15 litres of spray water (scale proportionally for larger tanks).
When tank-mixing, add AgroSpred Max after soluble powders and dispersible granules but before emulsifiable concentrates—follow the product label order of addition.
Maintain agitation during application to keep the solution uniform.
Apply as a foliar spray at recommended spray volume and droplet size for the crop and product being used.
Compatibility & Precautions
Perform a small jar test for tank-mix compatibility when combining with new pesticides, biologicals or foliar nutrients.
Avoid use with products that explicitly forbid adjuvants—always follow the label of the pesticide/nutrient.
Not intended for use as a sole pesticide—use only as an adjuvant to enhance foliar applications.
Store in original container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children and animals.
Safety & Handling
Read the product label before use and follow local regulations.
Use appropriate PPE (gloves, mask and eye protection) when handling concentrates and during tank mixing.
Wash hands and exposed skin after handling and before eating or drinking.
Do not discharge leftover spray into waterways; follow local disposal guidelines for containers and residues.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q1: Can I use AgroSpred Max with all pesticides? A1: AgroSpred Max is compatible with most foliar pesticides and nutrients, but always perform a jar test and follow the pesticide label—avoid adjuvants if the label forbids them.
Q2: What happens if it rains soon after spraying? A2: AgroSpred Max improves rainfastness, reducing wash-off. However, avoid spraying immediately before heavy rain; follow label guidance for rain-free intervals.
Q3: Can I use it with biologicals or beneficial microbes? A3: Many biological products are compatible, but always check the biological product label and perform a small compatibility test first.
Q4: Is the 5 ml / 15 L rate fixed? A4: Use 5 ml per 15 L as the standard recommendation—scale proportionally for larger spray volumes. Follow any crop- or product-specific label instructions if they differ.
