Application of anti-drift adjuvants

In an ideal world, pesticides would be applied precisely to crops, but this is often not the case in reality. Pesticides will not only leak onto adjacent fields, but may also pollute ground and surface water, causing harm to human health and causing waste. We call this pesticide drift, and Drift Resistance Technology (DRT) reduces spray drift.

In an ideal world, pesticides would be applied precisely to crops, but this is often not the case in reality. Pesticides will not only leak onto adjacent fields, but may also pollute ground and surface water, causing harm to human health and causing waste. We call this pesticide drift, and Drift Resistance Technology (DRT) reduces spray drift.  

 

Pesticide drift has economic, environmental and health implications. Economic impacts include ineffective pesticide control, increased costs, contamination of non-target crops, pesticide resistance, etc. Environmental impacts include pollution of ground and surface water, and damage to terrestrial ecosystems and wildlife. Human health impacts include impacts on agricultural practitioners, the public and neighbors, susceptible populations, and food and water supplies.

 

The reason for pesticide drift can be the size and quality of the spray droplets produced by the nozzle. Smaller spray droplets are suspended in the air for a long time and are easier to drift and evaporate, while larger spray droplets are easy to bounce or fly away from the target, resulting in poor coverage. reduce.

 

To reduce spray drift, choose anti-drift nozzles, which produce larger droplets that fall faster and are less affected by wind. At the same time, adding a synergist to the product can make the relative distribution of spray droplets more concentrated, thereby reducing the number of spray droplets that are easy to drift and improving the performance of pesticide application.

 

However, conventional Spray adjuvant, such as silicones, surfactants, inorganic salts, and simple compound vegetable oils, cannot effectively solve the problems of fast evaporation and easy drift encountered in the spraying process of plant protection drones. , Difficult to absorb, and low security.  

 

Our company has developed a pesticide anti-drift additive product (TIS-331) for this purpose. The product adopts non-ionic surfactant (NIS) synergist and anti-drift technology (DRT), which can narrow the relative span of droplet size distribution, reduce the number of drifting droplets, and at the same time have good performance on various nozzles Performance. By using our products, you can increase spray coverage, reduce spray drift and improve overall spray quality.

The Application of Silicone Auxiliary Surfactants in Agriculture
In the field of agriculture, silicone-applied products mainly include agricultural silicone surfactants and defoamers. Agricultural silicone surfactants include pesticide formulation auxiliaries and spray auxiliaries, among which silicone spray auxiliaries are the most widely used. The main component of the adjuvant is a polyether modified trisiloxane compound, which is widely used in insecticides, fungicides, herbicides, foliar fertilizers, plant growth regulators and biological pesticides. This kind of adjuvant has strong spreadability, resistance to rainwater erosion, can greatly reduce the surface tension of the liquid, and can be quickly absorbed through the pores. Using it can reduce the amount of pesticides, improve the effective utilization of pesticides, and reduce the impact of pesticides on the environment. pollute
