Silwet Gold is an organosilicone adjuvant in liquid form based on trisiloxane alkoxylate that lowers the surface tension of the working solution of growth regulators, herbicides, insecticides, fungicides and fertilisers.
Main advantages
- Lowers surface tension — the solution wets both leaf sides
- Concentration 0.025% — 25 ml per 100 l of water
- Dosed by solution volume — 0.015–0.15% by partner
Overview
About this product
Silwet Gold is an adjuvant of the organosilicone group, a liquid based on trisiloxane alkoxylate. It lowers the surface tension of the water solution, so droplets wet the upper and lower sides of the leaf and hard-to-reach parts of the plant.
It is dosed as a percentage of the working-solution volume: with growth regulators 0.025–0.05%, with herbicides 0.025–0.15%, with insecticides 0.025–0.1%, with fungicides 0.015–0.05%, with fertilisers and micronutrient fertilisers 0.015–0.1%. For example, 0.025% corresponds to 25 ml per 100 l of water.
Treatment timing is set by the partner product. 1 l bottle.

Rate, timing and crops
- Rate
As a share of the working-solution volume: growth regulators 0.025–0.05%, herbicides 0.025–0.15%, insecticides 0.025–0.1%, fungicides 0.015–0.05%, fertilisers and micronutrient fertilisers 0.015–0.1% (0.025% = 25 ml per 100 l of water)
- Timing
Timing of application and of the last treatment before harvest are set by the label of the product with which Silwet Gold is used in the tank mix.

Questions & answers
What farmers ask most
- In Ukraine a crop-protection product may be sold only with a state registration. The certificate and the expiry date recorded for this product are in the Specifications table above. After a registration ends, the remaining stock may be sold for two more years, but not past its shelf life; a cancelled registration has no such period. ADAM accepts no new vendor offer when the registration is missing, cancelled or past that period.
