Best friend to fungicides, insecticides, herbicides, growth regulators and foliar fertilisers. EcoSpread is a spreader, penetrant and surfactant all in one. EcoSpread can be added to a variety of treatments to make them apply better, get to work faster and be more effective. EcoSpread speeds up how fast you can get on top of the bad guys, helping return your plants to good health faster. Especially good for pests and diseases that are difficult to get rid of.

How does EcoSpread work?

EcoSpread is a non-ionic surfactant, the only agricultural additive that results in 'super spreading' action to rapidly cover water-repellent surfaces (such as waxy leaves), yet only requiring a very low dose. This helps completely wet the treated plant (called wetting action), so treatment applies better, creating a very thin film over the plant surface. This also gets better coverage even in tricky nooks and crannies where pests and diseases can hide.

EcoSpread is also a penetrant, which helps treatments get through the waxy layer on leaves to where they need to be to do their job. This increases uptake of the active ingredients, even in difficult conditions such as hot or dry weather.  EcoSpread is also a certified input for organics. 

EcoSpread also increases rainfastness for treating plants outdoors in unpredictable weather. Rain within one hour of application can be tolerated without the need to repeat-spray. EcoSpread also reduces the amount of treatment needed by up to 30%, saving time and money, and reducing the environmental impact.

EcoSpread directions for use

Use the higher dose for hard-to-wet foliage...

EcoSpread + insecticides or fungicides

For indoor plants, outdoor ornamentals, row crops, cereal crops, fruit trees, vines and vegetables; add 5 to 10 mls EcoSpread per 10 litres (1/2 ml to 1ml per 1 litre)

EcoSpread + growth regulators 

For all plants, add 5 to 10 mls EcoSpread per 10 litres (1/2 ml to 1ml per 1 litre)

EcoSpread + foliar fertiliser 

For all plants, add 5 to 10 mls EcoSpread per 10 litres (1/2 ml to 1ml per 1 litre)

EcoSpread + herbicides

Add 5 to 10 mls EcoSpread per 10 litres (1/2 ml to 1ml per 1 litre)

For tank mixtures, use the pesticide manufacturers specified rate for non-ionic surfactants, otherwise follow the application rates above.

BEFORE YOU BUY: The lid that comes with EcoSpread has measurements marked on it, but after you add to cart, I recommend getting a 3ml pipette as well for accuracy when treating a smaller number of plants and when making up less than 10 litres.

How to mix EcoSpread before spraying

Half fill your sprayer with water and begin stirring or otherwise agitating the water. Add the required amount of insecticide, fungicide or other agrichemical of choice while continuing to stir. After adding and stirring to mix well, give the EcoSpread container a good shake then add the required amount of EcoSpread, ready to apply. 

Storage & safety

Stable for 4 years when stored in a sealed container (not sensitive to freezing). 

Follow best practice when handling or applying this product. The same general safety precautions apply as for any spray treatment, including insecticides and fungicides, even those certified organic or generally safe.

Always check the label before use. Spray outdoors when possible, or in a well-ventilated area. Wear basic protective gear, including gloves and eye protection, when preparing and using the product. A coverall (like disposable Painter’s overalls) is recommended to protect clothing and reduce skin exposure. Avoid inhaling spray / mist. Avoid contact with eyes / skin. Wash hands and exposed skin with soap and water after use. Read the full safety precautions here before use >
