Why Local Farmers Switched to a $18.35/Gallon Spreader-Sticker
It's a non-ionic, zero-alcohol adjuvant engineered to easily blend with all major herbicides and chemicals, compete with leading brands, and save you money.
Yep, Wet-Sol does include an anti-foam built right in!
This helps prevent excessive foaming during mixing, so your spray solution blends smoothly, mixes perfectly every time, and avoids issues like clogged nozzles or uneven application.
Do I need to run an additional water softener?
No, usually not.
Wet-Sol itself doesn't act as a water softener or conditioner for hard water minerals.
Farmers in the Northwest commonly use it without adding a separate softener and report no major issues. If your water is extremely hard and you're mixing with sensitive herbicides, you might still want to add something like AMS for best results—but for typical Wet-Sol applications, most folks skip it.
Do I need to run a separate drift agent?
No, you usually don't need a separate drift control agent with Wet-Sol.
Schaeffer formulates Wet-Sol on a non-alcohol base, which gives it a thicker viscosity compared to many standard adjuvants. This increased thickness helps reduce fine droplet formation and spray drift naturally, so it often provides good built-in drift reduction for most applications.
That said, if you're in very windy conditions, spraying at higher pressures, or using ultra-low-volume setups, you might still consider adding a dedicated drift retardant for extra protection. But for typical use, Wet-Sol handles drift well on its own.
