The Efficacy And Function of Agricultural Wetting Agents

Definition

Agricultural wetting agent refers to an auxiliary agent that improves the wettability of pesticides, fertilizers, and other agricultural chemical reagents on the surface of crops, enhances their adhesion and permeability, and thereby enhances their ability to control weeds, pests, and absorb nutrients.

Effect

1. Improve adsorption capacity: The presence of wetting agents can promote the adsorption of pesticides on crop surfaces. Wetting agents can improve the interaction between pesticide molecules and surface water molecules, thereby increasing the adsorption capacity of pesticides.

2. Improve permeability: Wetting agents can reduce the surface tension of liquids, promote their penetration and diffusion, and make them more easily penetrate into the interior of crops.

3. Increase the duration of action: The presence of wetting agents can slow down the drying rate of the agent on the surface and prolong the efficacy time.

4. Improve the effectiveness: Wetting agents can improve the uniformity, stability, and adhesion of spray agents, thereby enhancing the effectiveness of pesticides and fertilizers.

Advantages

1. Improving the quality of agricultural products: The use of wetting agents can promote the adsorption and permeation ability of pesticides, fertilizers, and other agricultural chemical reagents on the surface of crops, enhancing their ability to control weeds, pests, and absorb nutrients. So as to achieve the goal of improving the quality of agricultural products.

2. Improve agricultural production efficiency: The use of wetting agents can reduce pesticide waste, improve spraying efficiency and efficacy, reduce production costs, and improve agricultural production efficiency.

3. Environmental protection: Wetting agents can effectively reduce the dispersion of chemicals during the spraying process and reduce environmental pollution.

Precautions

1. Choose appropriate wetting agents: Based on different pesticides and fertilizers, choose the appropriate wetting agent to ensure that the wetting agent has the best synergistic effect.

2. Strictly follow the instructions for use: strictly follow the instructions for using the wetting agent to avoid improper use that may cause drug damage.

3. Pay attention to the shelf life: Wetting agents also have a shelf life, and using expired wetting agents may cause harm to crops. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to the shelf life and replace it in a timely manner.
