Item description
IIL AgroSpread Max Overview
IIL AgroSpred Max is a silicone-based agricultural super spreader used as a tank-mix adjuvant. It helps spray droplets wet and spread across plant surfaces, supporting more uniform coverage and penetration of compatible crop-protection, growth-promoter and micronutrient sprays.
AgroSpred Max is not an insecticide, fungicide, herbicide or fertilizer and does not control a pest or disease by itself. Its role is to improve the physical performance of a compatible spray mixture. Insecticides (India) Limited lists it for all crops at 3–5 ml per 15 litres of water.
Why Use a Super Spreader?
- Improved wetting: Helps spray droplets wet plant surfaces more effectively.
- Better spreading: Supports more even distribution of the spray solution over treated foliage.
- Coverage support: Helps compatible sprays reach a broader surface area when used correctly.
- Penetration support: Silicone adjuvant technology can assist movement of compatible spray solutions into treated surfaces.
- Flexible use: IIL lists it for use on all crops with compatible crop-protection, growth-promoter or micronutrient sprays.

How It Works
Water droplets can remain rounded or run off difficult-to-wet plant surfaces. A silicone-based super spreader changes the wetting behaviour of the spray solution so droplets can spread more readily across the treated surface. This can help a compatible agricultural spray achieve more uniform contact with the intended foliage.
AgroSpred Max does not replace the active product, increase its registered dose or create a new approved crop use. The efficacy, target organism, pre-harvest interval, re-entry period and restrictions of the companion pesticide or nutrient remain exactly as stated on that product's label.
Suitable Use and Dose
| Crop | Purpose | AgroSpred Max Dose | Important Condition |
|---|---|---|---|
| All crops | Tank-mix spray adjuvant for improved wetting, spreading, coverage and penetration | 3–5 ml per 15 L water | Use only when every companion-product label permits an adjuvant |
AgroSpred Max has no independent PHI. Follow the PHI, re-entry interval, dose, crop, target and other restrictions of every companion product in the spray tank.
Mixing and Application Guide
- Read the AgroSpred Max pack and every companion-product label before preparing the spray.
- Fill the clean spray tank partly with water and begin agitation.
- Add each compatible product in the order directed on its label.
- Measure 3–5 ml AgroSpred Max for each 15 L of total spray water, or use the exact pack direction if it differs.
- Complete filling with water, maintain gentle agitation and apply the mixture promptly with calibrated equipment.
- Compatibility: Do not assume universal compatibility. Use only where all labels permit the proposed combination and an adjuvant.
- Spray quality: Avoid excessive runoff. Uniform, label-directed coverage is the goal.
- Weather: Follow the weather, wind and rain restrictions of the companion product. No independent rainfast period should be assumed for AgroSpred Max.
- Equipment: Use the nozzle, water volume and application equipment specified for the companion product.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is AgroSpred Max an insecticide?
No. It is a silicone-based super spreader and tank-mix adjuvant. It does not control insects, diseases or weeds by itself.
2. What is the official dose?
IIL lists 3–5 ml per 15 litres of water. Follow the current pack if its direction differs.
3. Can it be used on every crop?
IIL lists all crops, but use it only when the labels of the companion products permit an adjuvant for the intended crop and application.
4. Does it have its own pre-harvest interval?
No independent PHI is stated for the adjuvant. The companion product's PHI and re-entry directions govern the application.
5. Can it be mixed with any pesticide or nutrient?
No universal compatibility should be assumed. Follow every product label and do not use an unapproved tank mixture.
