In practical applications, the compatibility of agricultural silicone surfactants can be described as "all-match". It is easily soluble in a variety of organic solvents such as methanol, isopropanol, acetone, xylene and dichloromethane, and can also be dispersed in water, which means that it can perfectly blend with both oil-soluble agents and water-soluble fertilizers. As a spray modifier, it can optimize the spray effect and make the droplets finer and more uniform; as a foliar absorption aid, it can promote the absorption of nutrients by plants; as an activator, it can enhance the activity of pesticides and make the prevention and control effect better. Whether it is herbicides for precise weeding, foliar nutrients for nutrient supplementation, or growth regulators for growth regulation, it can show its prowess.
It is worth mentioning that agricultural organosilicon surfactants have good chemical stability and will not decompose the original drug. This ensures that the original efficacy of the agent and fertilizer is not affected, and at the same time can enhance their effects. By reducing the surface tension of the solution and reducing the contact angle between the droplet and the leaf surface, the ability of the liquid to wet, adhere and spread on the surface of plants or pests is greatly enhanced. For example, when controlling aphids, ordinary liquid medicine may fail to fully adhere to the surface of aphids, resulting in partial killing. However, liquid medicine with added organosilicon surfactants can "grasp" aphids tightly, allowing the insecticide to fully exert its toxicity and improve the success rate of control.
From the perspective of economic benefits, the use of agricultural organosilicon surfactants can appropriately reduce the amount of pesticides and fertilizers used while ensuring the effect. This not only reduces production costs, but also reduces potential impacts on the environment, which is in line with the development trend of green agriculture.
