About Balanstick Silicon Sticker
Balanstick (Silicon-Based Sticker Spreader Surfactant) by Kay Bee is an adjuvant used to enhance the performance of herbicides, fungicides, insecticides, plant growth regulators, and micronutrient fertilizers when tank-mixed; it works by spreading and penetrating rapidly while balancing pH to help spray solutions rain-fasten and achieve tremendously enhanced coverage, making agrochemical applications more effective across all seasons and crop types.
Balanstick Silicon Sticker Technical Name
Silicon-Based Sticker Spreader Surfactant
Mode of Action
Balanstick spreads and penetrates at rapid speed across the plant surface while balancing the pH of the spray solution to the desired level, making agrochemical usage more effective. It also acts as a penetrator and activator, accelerating the agrochemical activity, and as a rain fastener, preventing wash-off even if rain follows soon after application. Additionally, it increases soil porosity, helping water spread more easily in the root zone and supporting white root growth.
Key Features and Benefits
-
pH Balancer: Neutralizes water pH to the desired level for more effective agrochemical usage
-
Super Spreader Sticker: Increases spreading ability manifold to cover most plant surfaces
-
Penetrator: Strong penetration ability for fast absorption on sprayed surfaces
-
Activator: Accelerates agrochemical activity for best results
-
Rain Fastness: Does not wash away even if it rains soon after application
- Non-corrosive to spray equipment and prevents nozzle clogging
- Safe on field crops and orchards; non-phytotoxic in nature
- Helps water spread horizontally in the root zone and increases soil porosity, promoting white root growth

Product Expert Advice
"For best results, apply Balanstick during the cooler hours of morning or evening rather than at peak noon temperatures. Since it is non-compatible with sulphur, copper-based fungicides, and Bordeaux mixture, always check compatibility before tank-mixing with a new product." - BigHaat Agronomy Expert
