Wetting agents

Just wondering about wetting agents.
I believe the idea of a wetting agent is to break down any sort of protective coating on a leaf and thereby allow the chemical to enter the plant easier. This being the case, should one use a purpose built wetting agent as sold in garden shops or is good old household washing up liquid just as good an option. If so, can anybody suggest the amount to use?
Thanks in advance.

| Hi Paul ...I was told that dishwashing liquid works ok on the soil so I just put a few squirts into a bucket as I had no idea either, I also put a couple of squirts into the sprayer when Iam spraying the roses its works ok. As when I could not find the wetting agent my Rose Grower recomended I emailed them and they told me just add a couple of squirts in the 6lt sprayer, dont be heavy handed though. Hope this helps...Cheers..MM. |
