Organic silicon is a synergistic additive widely used in current agricultural production. When mixed with corresponding pesticides, the utilization rate of pesticides can be significantly improved.
Silicones are different from other common pharmaceutical synergists or active agents
Silicone surface expansion force is smaller, diffusion spreadability, adhesion and penetration, wettability, temperature resistance, and rain erosion resistance are stronger.
It can be used with most fungicides, insecticides, herbicides, plant growth regulators and foliar fertilizers on the market to significantly improve the effectiveness of various liquid chemicals.
The surface of organic silicon has a super expansion function, which makes the coverage area of the medicinal solution wider and more uniform, making the leaves and insect surfaces absorb or penetrate a larger amount of medicinal solution, and the control effect is more significant.
Silicone can reduce the frequency and cost of medication. It can save up to more than 30% and more than 50% on medication and water consumption respectively.
What are the characteristics of spraying with silicone?
1. Super expansion ability, which is more conducive to moistening the target drug with the liquid.
The spreadability of the medicinal solution on the surface of plant leaves or the body surface of pests directly affects the efficacy of the medicinal solution. Most plant leaves and pests have epidermal cuticles, waxy layers, villi, or rough surfaces that make it difficult for pesticides to adhere. Spraying pesticides diluted directly with water will be unstable on these surfaces. The addition of silicone can effectively solve these problems and maximize the efficacy of the medicine.
2. The contact angle is smaller, which can greatly improve the spreadability of the drug solution on the drug target.
When the chemical solution is sprayed onto the leaves or pest surfaces, the smaller the contact angle between the chemical solution and them, the better the expansion and distribution of the chemical solution will be, and the better the medication effect will be. Because silicone has a very low surface tension, it can significantly reduce the contact angle of the chemical solution sprayed on plant leaves and pest surfaces, so it can achieve better pesticide effects.
3. Strong scalability, which can greatly increase the coverage area of the liquid on the target.
Adding organic silicone to the liquid can double the coverage area of the crop leaves. This is also an important reason why the use of organic silicone additives can greatly improve the effect of pest control.
4. Strong penetration, absorption and resistance to rainwater erosion, greatly improving the stability of the liquid.
Organic silicon can make the chemical liquid sprayed on the surface of plant leaves and insect bodies penetrate faster, better and more into the target object through the pores. It also has excellent resistance to rain erosion. This is true for the medicinal solution, and the effect of adding silicone to foliar fertilizers is also so obvious. This is incomparable with the use of medicinal liquids or foliar fertilizers alone.
