Wetting Agent Pellets for Effective Application
These are wetting agent pellets with a high proportion of active ingredient that dissolve quickly. Many alternative pellets are slow to dissolve, which means only a low rate of wetter actually gets applied; with these pellets, turf managers can rely on optimum treatment results.
Key Features
- High proportion of active ingredient
- Rapid dissolving for accurate application rates
- Non-phytotoxic: the wetting agent and pellets will not burn or discolour turf
- Full rate (10 L/ha) gives activity for up to 4 weeks
- Low rate (5 L/ha) gives activity for around 2 weeks
- Can be applied using a tablet applicator
How to Use
How fast the pellets dissolve depends on (1) water pressure, (2) flow rate and (3) water temperature. To get the dosage right, calibrate first by timing how long one pellet takes to dissolve completely, then use the table below to find the correct application time per 100 sq m.
Example: if a pellet takes 10 minutes to dissolve, applying for 5 minutes 33 seconds per 100 sq.m gives a full rate application (approx. 10 L/ha), while 2 minutes 47 seconds per 100 sq.m gives a low rate application (approx. 5 L/ha).

Notes
- How long the activity lasts depends on soil type and climatic conditions.
