BioWet is a natural general-purpose wetting agent, penetrant, and spraying oil for crop and fieldwork. An emulsified food-grade rapeseed oil that has been specially designed to help improve agrochemical uptake by reducing drift and improving wetting and spreading of product onto the target crop or weed.
BioWet has been used successfully with many agrochemicals where an oil-based adjuvant is required to help uptake and improve efficacy. BioWet can be used in any situation where a mineral oil or vegetable oil is advised. Suitable for use as a spray adjuvant for a range of agriculture chemicals such as pesticides, herbicides, fungicides.
BIOWET CROP OIL QUALITY:
The quality of Rainbow & Brown's Biowet matches up with top international brands. We had it tested so we know. See the graph below, comparing Codacide(2) and Driftex(3) to BioWet spray oil.
BENEFITS OF BIOWET:
- Uniform droplet size reduces small droplets that drift away from the target.
- This reduction of spray drift means you deliver more of the active ingredient to the target.
- Reduced spray drift delivering increased effectiveness and efficiency of agricultural chemical.
- Cost reduction - efficient use of herbicides enables better uptake and possible chemical savings.
- Better for the environment than using mineral oil.
- Very safe for the crop when used in accordance with the herbicide or pesticide labels.

USAGE GUIDELINES
Prior to use, read all instructions on the agricultural chemical product being used. BioWet may be used whenever an oil-based adjuvant has been recommended on the label of the agricultural chemical label unless esterified seed oil adjuvants are specifically excluded.
The recommended use rate BioWet may vary depending on the crop but most applications will have the inclusion of 500ml/100litres of water or 0.5% of the spray volume.
MIXING:
BioWet must ALWAYS be premixed with the herbicide or plant protection product before adding water to the spray tank.
Fill the spray tank with 1/3rd water and then add to this the premixed emulsion of BioWet and the herbicide or plant protection product.
Then top up the spray tank with water while agitating.
If there is more than one herbicide or plant protection product being used then ensure that BioWet is pre-mixed separately with each product until an emulsion is formed.
CROP SAFETY:
Refer to directions on the agricultural chemical. Caution must be exercised when applying BioWet with crop protection products during periods when crops are subject to drought stress, high temperatures or high temperatures and light intensity.
As with all new products Rainbow & Brown recommend the spraying of a test area before using BioWet with plant protection products that the user has not used before or when spraying new crops or varieties.
IMPORTANT TIPS
Make sure you are spraying onto a dry crop
DO NOT USE BioWet with any of the following:
o Dichlofluanid
o Fentin acetate & mixes
o Fentin hydroxide & mixes
o Cyanazine & mixes
o Captan & mixes
Make sure that spray pressure is kept up. Where possible 3 – 3.5 bar is recommended
Keep well agitated
