UPL Silwet Gold Organo Silicone Adjuvant
UPL Silwet Gold is a premium organo-silicone based super spreader and adjuvant designed to significantly improve the performance of agrochemicals like insecticides, fungicides, herbicides, and micronutrients. Its unique low surface tension technology allows spray droplets to spread rapidly and uniformly across leaf surfaces, ensuring deeper penetration and enhanced absorption of active ingredients.
Silwet Gold is especially useful in crops with waxy, hairy, or difficult-to-wet surfaces where conventional sprays fail to provide adequate coverage. By improving spray efficiency, it reduces chemical wastage, enhances effectiveness, and ensures better crop protection outcomes.

Silwet Gold Features and Benefits
Super Spreading Action:
Reduces surface tension drastically, allowing spray droplets to spread over a larger leaf area.
Enhanced Penetration:
Improves absorption of pesticides and nutrients into plant tissues, increasing effectiveness.
Uniform Coverage:
Ensures even spray distribution on both upper and lower leaf surfaces.
Rainfastness Improvement:
Helps agrochemicals stick better to plant surfaces, reducing wash-off losses.
Reduced Chemical Usage:
Better efficiency means lower pesticide wastage and cost savings for farmers.
Works on Difficult Surfaces:
Highly effective on waxy, hairy, or dusty leaves where normal sprays fail.
Boosts Agrochemical Performance:
Enhances the efficacy of insecticides, fungicides, herbicides, and foliar nutrients.
Mode of Action
Silwet Gold works by lowering the surface tension of spray solutions to extremely low levels. This allows the spray droplet to spread instantly across the leaf surface instead of forming beads. The improved spreading and wetting enable better contact and penetration of active ingredients into plant tissues, leading to superior pest and disease control.
Usage and Crop Recommendations
| Crop | Purpose | Dosage (ml/200 L Water) | Application Stage |
|---|---|---|---|
| All Crops | Spray Coverage Enhancement | 5 – 10 ml | Along with pesticides/fungicides |
| Vegetables | Pest & Disease Control Support | 5 ml | At spray stage |
| Fruits | Better Absorption | 5 – 10 ml | During protection sprays |
| Field Crops | Herbicide Efficiency | 5 ml | During weed control |
Application Guidelines
- Mix Silwet Gold with recommended agrochemicals during spray preparation
