GE’s ecomagination* Focus Supports Environment by Helping Farmers Achieve Top Results with up to 70 Percent Less Water

GE’s Silwet* Silicone Super Spreader Technology for Agriculture

GE’s Silwet* Silicone Super Spreaders are organosilicone adjuvants that enable agricultural chemical sprays to perform better, spread more easily, be absorbed more quickly, and resist washing off plants. Specifically, they allow water-containing pesticides, growth regulators, and other chemicals to penetrate the surface of plants more readily. This spreading capability means that a lower spray volume can achieve optimal results. The GE materials may reduce water volume in pesticide sprays by up to 70 percent and are part of the company’s ecomagination* initiative to help customers tackle tough environmental challenges. GARCHING, GERMANY — June 29, 2005 — The application of agricultural pesticides can have a significant impact on the environment, including heavy water demands for high spray volumes and chemical runoff into soil and groundwater. As part of its ecomagination* initiative, GE is taking the lead on this challenge with innovative Silwet* Silicone Super Spreader additives that can help save millions of liters of water annually.
