Surfactants for the Agricultural Sector

Surfactants, also known as surfactants, are chemical compounds designed to reduce surface tension and improve the dispersion of liquids, such as herbicides, insecticides, and fertilizers, on the surface of plant leaves and stems. 

Reduction of surface tension: Surfactants for the agricultural sector reduce the surface tension of water, allowing better wetting and penetration of agrochemicals on the leaves.

Improvement of adhesion: They facilitate effective chemical adhesion to plant surfaces, preventing runoff. 

Uniformity in coverage: They ensure uniform distribution of agrochemicals on the plant, avoiding uneven applications. 

Reduced drift: They help reduce chemical drift, thereby minimizing the impact on the surrounding environment. 

Increased efficacy: They enhance the efficacy of agrochemicals, leading to greater plant protection against pests and diseases. 

Compatibility: They are compatible with a wide range of agrochemicals and can be easily mixed. 

Reduction of rain washing: They help maintain the effectiveness of agrochemicals in case of rain. 

Herbicides: Surfactants for the agricultural sector are used with herbicides to ensure effective coverage of weeds. 

Insecticides: They facilitate insecticides reaching the surfaces of plants where pests are located. 

Fungicides: They contribute to uniform distribution of fungicides on leaves and fruits. 

Foliar fertilizers: Surfactants for the agricultural sector are combined with fertilizers for rapid absorption by plants. 

Specific nutrients: They are used for the application of specific nutrients, improving plant absorption and response. 

Maximum efficacy of agrochemicals: Surfactants for the agricultural sector ensure that agrochemicals reach their maximum potential.

Cost reduction: By ensuring uniform distribution, chemical waste is minimized. 

Less environmental impact: They contribute to reducing the amount of chemicals released into the environment. 

Increased crop protection: Plants benefit from better coverage and protection against pests and diseases. 

Higher yield: The effective application of agrochemicals translates into increased crop yields.
