  work 

  Sandy,

  Often dishwashing liquid is used as a sticker for poisons.  I have never
  tried it myself, but I know of its use.  It breaks down the "beading"
  effect of water so that the droplets do not run off the plant, giving it
  time to be absorbed by the plant.

  Only a tiny amount is needed though.  I assume it effects the meniscus
  (surface tension of the water) which is why a small amount works so well
  without having a coating effect on the plants.

  Cheers.
