What is a spray pesticide additive

In the current agricultural planting, I believe that everyone is no stranger to the term “auxiliary agent”. The pesticide spray aid is a substance added to the liquid in the course of pesticide application to improve the activity of the active ingredient and improve the physical properties of the liquid. So what is a spray aid?

Spray auxiliaries, also known as tank mixing auxiliaries, are an auxiliary product that is added to the medicinal liquid tank when the pesticide is used. Spray auxiliaries can be packaged separately without being added to the pesticide formulation. When the pesticide is used, it can be added to the spray solution to reduce the surface tension of the liquid, improve the wettability, and increase the deposition amount of the droplets on the foliage. The moisturizing time of the mist droplets promotes the absorption of the liquid in the plant to achieve the purpose of increasing the efficacy.

Pesticide additives are a general term for various auxiliary materials used in the processing and application of pesticide formulations. Although they are generally not biologically active, they are indispensable additives in formulation or application. Each pesticide additive has a specific function:

In today's agricultural production, pesticide spray additives are quite popular. Pesticide spray additives are divided into two categories, namely active agents, including surfactants, wetting agents, oil-based, adhesives and penetrants; special-purpose spray additives, including buffers or acidifiers or pH changes Agent, water quality regulator, anti-drift agent, thickener, blending agent.

There are several things to note when choosing a pesticide spray additive:

1. Choose agricultural spray additives specially developed for agricultural forestry. Do not use industrial products or household detergents or washing powders to avoid destroying pesticide activity.

2. Many pesticide formulations already contain the necessary additives to improve the performance of pesticides. Do not use spray additives without authorization.

3. It is believed that the spray auxiliaries to be used have been tested for complete efficacy, and those with doubt or uncertainty are to be used in large areas after a small range of tests.

4. The recommended pesticide additives may change due to changes in dosage form and application technical procedures, and should be selected correctly when used.

5. Improper use or excessive use of pesticide spray additives may result in reduced efficacy or phytotoxicity. Carefully read the label of pesticides and auxiliaries to ensure that the selected auxiliaries match the application site, target pests, and drugs, and match the pesticides used.
