The science behind OROWET® Technology 

Advanced surfactants are the cornerstone of OROWET® technology. These molecules have a unique structure: hydrophobic tails repel water, while hydrophilic heads attract water. When mixed with water, surfactants form micelles, spherical structures that encapsulate lipophilic substances, including certain pesticides and natural extracts. This micelle formation is crucial for protecting these substances from degradation and ensuring even distribution in a spray solution. 

Natural extracts In addition to advanced surfactants, OROWET® technology incorporates natural extracts known for their efficacy and environmental friendliness. These extracts are chosen for their ability to enhance the penetration and effectiveness of active ingredients, ensuring that they reach their targets efficiently. 

Challenges in agricultural spraying One of the primary challenges in agricultural spraying is ensuring that active ingredients are effectively delivered and absorbed by plants or pests. Many active ingredients are lipophilic, meaning they do not mix well with water and can evaporate or degrade before they reach their target. 

Micelle encapsulation: The OROWET® Solution OROWET® technology addresses these challenges through micelle encapsulation. The micelles protect the active ingredients from evaporation and degradation, ensuring even distribution and efficient delivery in a water-based spray. 

The mechanism of action 

Formation of micro-droplets When OROWET® formulations are mixed with water, micelles encapsulate the active ingredients and natural extracts, forming uniformly suspended micro-droplets in the water. This ensures an even application over the target area. 

Adherence and release Upon contact with lipid-containing structures on plants or pests, the hydrophobic parts of the micelles adhere to these surfaces. This causes the micelles to break open, releasing the active ingredients and natural extracts directly onto the target. 

Enhanced penetration The released substances merge with the biological surfaces, altering the crystal-like lipid structures to a more amorphous form. This change enhances the penetration of active ingredients into the pest’s protective layers or the plant’s cuticle, ensuring that the pesticides are more effective. 

Selective penetration OROWET® formulations are carefully designed to avoid damaging the underlying cell membranes of plants, striking a balance between efficacy and safety. 

Benefits of OROWET® Technology 

  1. Increased efficacy of pesticides By enhancing the penetration of pesticides, OROWET® ensures that the active ingredients reach their targets more effectively, leading to better pest control. 
  1. Reduction in volatility Encapsulation within micelles protects the active ingredients from evaporating quickly, ensuring that more active ingredients are delivered to the target. 
  1. Uniform application The formation of micro-droplets ensures even distribution of the spray, reducing the chances of under- or over-application in different areas. 
  1. Sustainability Utilising advanced surfactant chemistry and natural extracts aligns with sustainable agricultural practices, reducing reliance on excessive amounts of synthetic chemicals. 
  1. Safety Carefully formulated to avoid harming plant cells, OROWET® offers a safer alternative for crop protection and nutrient delivery. 

Conclusion 

OROWET® technology exemplifies how innovative solutions can enhance agricultural practices by improving the delivery and efficacy of active ingredients. By combining advanced surfactants with natural extracts, OROWET® transforms traditional spraying methods into a highly effective and environmentally friendly approach. For farmers and agricultural professionals looking to enhance their crop protection strategies, OROWET® technology provides an effective and sustainable cutting-edge tool.
