Reducing Chemical Residues
Agricultural silicone oil products have a positive impact on reducing chemical residues while promoting the efficient use of pesticides and fertilizers. Since silicone oil can improve the adhesion and penetration of agents on crops, the agents can achieve good control effects at a lower dosage. Taking a vegetable planting area as an example, after using pesticides with a silicone oil adjuvant, the amount of pesticides used was reduced by about 20% - 30%, and the pesticide residues on vegetables also decreased accordingly. This not only meets consumers' requirements for food safety, reduces the risk of human intake of pesticide residues, but also protects ecological environmental elements such as soil and water sources, reducing the accumulation of chemical agents in the environment and contributing to the health and stability of the ecosystem.
Friendliness to Beneficial Organisms
In the agricultural ecosystem, beneficial organisms such as bees and natural enemy insects are crucial for maintaining ecological balance. Agricultural silicone oil products are generally friendly to these beneficial organisms. Silicone oil itself has relatively stable chemical properties and is less likely to have a direct toxic effect on beneficial organisms. Moreover, due to its improvement of the precision of pesticides and fertilizers, it reduces the drift and diffusion of agents to non-target areas, reducing the chance of beneficial organisms coming into contact with harmful agents. For example, when using pesticides with a silicone oil adjuvant in an orchard, while effectively controlling pests and diseases, the impact on pollinating insects such as bees is reduced, ensuring the normal pollination of fruit trees and maintaining the biodiversity of the ecosystem.
Promotion of Sustainable Agricultural Development
From the perspective of sustainable agricultural development, agricultural silicone oil products are important contributing factors. By improving resource utilization efficiency, reducing the waste of pesticides and fertilizers, and reducing the negative impact on the environment, it conforms to the concept of sustainable development. As the requirements for environmental protection and rational use of resources in agriculture are increasing day by day, the application of silicone oil products is expected to be further promoted. At the same time, researchers are constantly exploring more environmentally friendly and efficient silicone oil products, such as biodegradable silicone oil adjuvants, to better meet the needs of sustainable agricultural development and make greater contributions to the long-term stable development of agriculture and the protection of the ecological environment.
