Silicone is a kind of siloxane surfactant, which can be used as assistant of pesticide, which can greatly reduce the surface tension of pesticide, reduce the contact angle between pesticide droplet and foliage or worm body, Plant surface or pest surface wetting, adhesion or exhibition ability, thereby enhancing efficacy. It has good wettability, strong adhesion, excellent ductility and high Stomatal permeability and other advantages, added to the pesticide can play a saving, provincial and provincial workers synergistic effect. It is often used as a spray auxiliary for pesticides. Some also assist in penetrating the plant by forcing the active ingredient deep inside the weed tissue, where it is translocated to the root system.Silicone surfactant is a new type of pesticide adjuvant developed in the mid 60s of last century. When used according to the direction of use, wetting agents (Wetter 1000) or surfactants maximize spray application by wetting and sticking the herbicide to the plant by lowering the surface tension of the spray droplet. Wetting agents like Wetter 1000 are chemical substances that have been produced specifically to increase the spreading and penetrating properties of a liquid by lowering the surface tension, that is, the tendency of its molecules to adhere to each other. Detergents look as though they are effective as they foam up and leave an oily residue on the plant’s surface, but that is the extent of it. Therefore, they do not force the chemical into the plant and will not benefit the herbicide to be more effective. What is the main difference between detergent and wetting agents?ĭetergents are surfactants however, they are formulated to be used as a cleaning solution. What is Wetter 1000 Surfactant also referred as
What type of products can Wetter 1000 Surfactant be used with Many adjuvants have been developed to help herbicides cover, stick to and penetrate the leaves of target plants. Some herbicides require no additional adjuvants to perform well, but some perform better with adjuvants, and this is usually detailed on the product label. And can be used with acid and alkaline sprays.Ī wetting agent is an additive that is intended to improve the effectiveness of a herbicide. Wetter 1000 increases wetting and spray coverage.Wetter 1000 is a spray additive suitable for herbicides, is suitable for use with all types of water in high and low volume spraying.
Wetter 1000 can be used where the addition of a surfactant is required or recommended on the agricultural chemical label.They remain on the leaf once dry and allow rewetting after rain, permitting additional pesticide uptake. Wetters include non-ionic surfactants which are non-reactive in that they are not negatively or positively charged. Wetters/spreaders enhance the spreading and adhesion of spray droplets over target surfaces by reducing the surface tension of the herbicide formulation. Wetter 1000 Surfactant is a non-ionic 100% wetting agent for the improvement of spray coverage when using agricultural chemicals.
