Agricultural silicone surfactants improve drug efficacy and reduce environmental damage, mainly through the following aspects:
Improve drug efficacy
Enhance wetting and spreading ability:
Agricultural silicone surfactants can significantly reduce the surface tension of pesticides, making it easier to wet and spread on the surface of target objects such as plant leaves and insect bodies. This feature expands the coverage area and uniformity of pesticides, ensuring that pesticides can play a more comprehensive role, thereby improving drug efficacy.
Promote penetration and absorption:
This type of surfactant has super strong spreading and penetration properties, which can promote the penetration of pesticides into plant tissues or insects. By increasing the retention time and distribution range of pesticides in the target object, the control effect of pesticides is improved and the duration of drug efficacy is extended.
Improve adhesion:
Agricultural silicone surfactants can enhance the adhesion of pesticides on the surface of plants, making the liquid less likely to fall off or be washed away by rain, thereby improving the stability of drug efficacy.
Reduce harm to the environment
Reduce the amount of pesticides used:
Since agricultural organosilicon surfactants can significantly improve the utilization rate and control effect of pesticides, the amount of pesticides used can be reduced in practical applications. This helps reduce the pollution of pesticides to the environment and the residues on crops, thereby reducing the negative impact on the ecological environment.
Water-saving effect:
After adding agricultural organosilicon surfactants, the spray volume is greatly reduced due to the enhanced wetting and spreading ability of the liquid medicine. This not only saves water resources, but also reduces the amount of pesticides lost to the soil and groundwater, further reducing the harm to the environment.
Easy to decompose:
Agricultural organosilicon surfactants are easy to decompose in the natural environment and will not remain in the soil or water for a long time. This feature helps to reduce the risk of long-term pollution to the ecological environment.
In summary, agricultural organosilicon surfactants effectively reduce the harm to the environment by enhancing the wetting, spreading and penetration ability of pesticides, improving the efficacy and reducing the amount of pesticides used. In agricultural production, the rational use of this type of surfactant is of great significance to improving the utilization rate of pesticides, reducing environmental pollution and ensuring the quality of agricultural products.
