Shigoto Silwet 408 Super Spreader (IFFCO-MC)

The Ultimate Japanese Technology Silicon Adjuvant for Instant Absorption.

Shigoto Silwet 408 is not just a sticker; it is a premium "Super Spreader" brought to you by IFFCO-MC. While normal spreaders only help liquid stick to the leaf surface, Shigoto drastically reduces surface tension, allowing the spray to spread 10x wider and penetrate directly into the plant through microscopic pores.

Maximize your spray investment: Ensure your expensive insecticides, herbicides, and fungicides enter the plant instantly, even on waxy leaves like Cabbage, Lotus, or Sugarcane.

Why farmers choose itWhy Choose This Product? Key Benefits
  • ⏱️ Rainfast in 2 Minutes: Rapid absorption means your spray is safe from rain wash-off almost immediately after application.
  • ?️ Super Spreading Action: Lowers surface tension to ~22 mN/m, allowing droplets to spread widely and reach hidden pests under leaves.
  • ⏳ Saves Water & Labor: Enables Low Volume Spraying (LVS). You can reduce water usage by up to 50% without losing efficacy.
  • ?️ Stomatal Infiltration: Unique technology forces the medicine directly into the plant's breathing pores (stomata) for instant results.
  • ? Perfect for Waxy Crops: Breaks through the waxy barrier of crops like Onion, Garlic, and Cabbage where normal sprays fail.

Product scienceHow It Works: Mode of Action

[Image of stomatal infiltration process in leaves]

Shigoto works on the principle of physics rather than chemistry, altering the behavior of water droplets on the leaf surface.

  1. Tension Reduction: It drastically lowers the surface tension of water from 72 mN/m to 20 mN/m. This prevents droplets from "beading up" and rolling off.
  2. Super Spreading: The droplets flatten instantly, covering an area 10 to 50 times larger than normal water, ensuring the entire leaf (including the underside) is wet.
  3. Stomatal Flooding: The extremely low surface tension allows the liquid to bypass the waxy cuticle and rush into the open stomata (breathing pores), delivering the medicine directly into the plant system.

This mechanism makes it highly effective for systemic fungicides and herbicides.

How to applyDosage & Application Guide

The Golden Rule: Always follow the "Dose per Acre" for accurate results. Do not overdose, as this may cause runoff.

How to applyDosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)

*General Thumb Rule: 5 ml per 15 Liter Spray Pump.

Useful detailsHow to Apply: Best Practices
  • Mixing Order (WALES): Always add Shigoto Silwet 408 LAST in the tank. Fill water → Add Pesticide → Mix → Add Shigoto at the end to prevent excessive foaming.
  • Timing: Use the mixture within 24 hours. Silicones can degrade if left in acidic or alkaline water for too long.
  • Coverage: Spray until the leaves are wet. Do not spray to the point where liquid is dripping off the leaves (Run-off).
  • Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Do not use in mist blowers that create very fine fog; use standard nozzles to avoid inhaling the spray.
Use with careSafety & Disclaimer

Always read and follow the instructions on the official product label. The information provided here is for guidance only. Use personal protective equipment (PPE) during application. Harmful if inhaled or if it comes in contact with eyes—rinse thoroughly if exposed.
