Agricultural penetrant: a powerful assistant in agricultural production
In agricultural production, the utilization efficiency of pesticides and fertilizers is directly related to
the yield and quality of crops. In order to improve the utilization rate of these chemicals,
agricultural penetrants came into being.
1. Definition and principle of agricultural penetrant
Agricultural penetrant is a chemical substance that is mainly used to promote the penetration and
absorption of plant foliar fertilizers, pesticides, growth regulators, etc. Its main components
are alkylbenzene sulfonates and non-ionic surfactants. These components change the surface tension
of plants, making it easier for pesticides, fertilizers, etc. to enter the interior of plants,
thereby improving the effect of fertilization and spraying.
2. The role of agricultural penetrant
Enhance penetration ability: Agricultural penetrants can significantly enhance the penetration ability of
pesticides and fertilizers in plants, allowing these chemicals to penetrate faster and
deeper into plant tissues, improving prevention and control effects and fertilization efficiency.
Improve adhesion and suspension rate: Penetrants can also improve the adhesion and suspension rate
of the liquid on the plant surface, effectively reduce the dead angle of the spray liquid,
and enable the liquid to evenly cover the plant surface, further improving the utilization rate.
Rainwater erosion resistance: Pesticides and fertilizers with added penetrants can adhere more firmly
to the surface of plants and are not easily washed away by rainwater, thereby extending
the duration of the efficacy of the medicine and fertilizer.
Reduce ineffective sublimation of liquid medicine:
Under high temperature and scorching sun, liquid medicine is easy to evaporate, resulting in reduced efficacy.
Penetrants can reduce the ineffective sublimation of liquid medicine, improve the absorption and utilization
rate of the medicine, and effectively overcome this problem.
3. Application examples of agricultural penetrants
Pesticide synergism: Adding penetrants to pesticides can significantly improve the insecticidal and control effects
of pesticides. For example, when preventing and controlling diseases such a vegetable gray mold and sclerotinia,
penetrants can cause pesticide components to penetrate the epidermal cells
of vegetables and enter the body of vegetables, thereby improving thebactericidal effect.
Foliar fertilization: Foliar fertilization is a method of quickly supplementing plant nutrition. Adding penetrants
to foliar fertilizers can make fertilizers more easily absorbed and utilized by plants, thereby improving fertilization
efficiency.
Growth regulator synergy: Growth regulators play an important role in agricultural production. Growth regulators
with added penetrants can act on plants faster and more accurately to
regulate plant growth and development.
4.Selection and use precautions for agricultural penetrants
Choose environmentally friendly penetrants: When choosing agricultural penetrants, environmentally friendly products
should be given priority. These products not only have excellent
penetration properties, but also reduce pollution to the environment.
Use according to the instructions: When using agricultural penetrants, they should be used strictly in accordance with the
dosage and method in the instructions. Excessive use or
unauthorized increase in concentration may cause harm to plants and the environment.
Pay attention to safety protection: Agricultural penetrants are a chemical substance and should be used with safety protection.
Wear protective gloves, masks and other safety protection equipment to avoid contact with the skin and inhalation of toxic gases.
Avoid use in bad weather: When using agricultural penetrants, try to avoid spraying on rainy or windy days to prevent the
drug from being blown away or washed away.
5. Conclusion
As a powerful assistant in agricultural production, agricultural penetrants play an important role in improving the utilization
efficiency of pesticides and fertilizers. Penetrants can significantlyimprove the yield and quality of crops by enhancing penetration,
improving adhesion and suspension rate, resisting rainwater erosion, and reducing ineffective sublimation of liquid medicine.
However, when using agricultural penetrants, it is also necessary to pay attention to choosing environmentally friendly products,
using them according to the instructions, paying attention tosafety protection, and avoiding using them in bad weather. Only in
this way can the advantages of agricultural penetrants be fully utilized and make greater contributions to agricultural
production.
