Dew Drop is a non-scorching surfactant that binds to the wax on the leaf surface and causes moisture droplets to run off the leaf as they form.
Dewdrop also increases the time the leaf takes to dry following rainfall, and is ideal for use on any turf where dry foliage is desired.
Reduces leaf surface moisture, suppressing formation of dew.
Leaf dries quicker following rain or irrigation.
Less moisture reduces disease pressure.
Frost is less damaging.
Cost saving compared to manual dew removal.
Easy and safe to use.
The leaf must be perfectly dry before application of DewDrop in order to ensure maximum persistence of activity.
The effect of DewDrop will be inevitably depleted by subsequent growth and repeated mowing.
Greatest effect and persistence will be achieved when applications are made immediately prior to colder weather not conducive to grass growth.
A top-up dose of 60% of the normal application rate may be applied after 3 weeks to prolong the effectiveness of DewDrop.
In the most favourable conditions, dew reduction has been observed a full six weeks after applications.
The optimum timing is September to March inclusive.
DewDrop does not control or prevent frost but it appears that the frost goes quicker from treated areas.
The development of diseases like Dollar Spot and Fusarium spp. that are prevalent in the autumn are encouraged by a moist leaf surface, and the use of DewDrop can help slow their ingress and spread.
Apply at a rate of 15 to 20 litres per hectare in a minimum of 300 litres of water. The beneficial effect of DewDrop will be diluted by water rates above 350 litres per hectare, and not more than two applications per month should be used.
