In modern agriculture, the efficiency of pesticide and foliar fertilizer application directly affects crop yield and quality. Traditional pesticide spraying often faces problems such as uneven coverage, insufficient penetration, and reduced efficacy due to rain wash-off. To address these challenges, organosilicon agricultural adjuvants have emerged as important tools to enhance the performance of pesticides and foliar fertilizers.
Organosilicon agricultural adjuvants, also known as organosilicon surfactants, are a type of modified organosilicon compound. They are characterized by low surface tension and excellent wetting, dispersing, and penetrating abilities. When added to pesticides or foliar fertilizers at an appropriate ratio, they significantly improve liquid spreading on plant leaves and help the solution penetrate plant pores, enhancing pesticide efficacy and nutrient absorption.
Organosilicon adjuvants are available in liquid and powder forms. Liquid products are convenient for direct spraying, while powder products, such as IOTA2001, can be easily incorporated into powder pesticide or foliar fertilizer formulations to ensure uniform dispersion and stability across various products.
The key function of organosilicon adjuvants is to reduce the surface tension of liquid droplets. Lower surface tension allows droplets to spread more effectively on leaves, covering more surfaces, including hard-to-wet waxy layers. Additionally, organosilicon adjuvants enhance penetration, allowing pesticides and fertilizers to reach plant pores for improved pest control and nutrient uptake.
In powder formulations, organosilicon adjuvants also improve dispersibility, prevent caking, and ensure uniform spraying. Small amounts can significantly boost effectiveness, reduce pesticide use, and conserve water.
Pesticide Formulations: Widely used in wettable powders (WP), granules (GR), water-dispersible granules (WDG), soluble powders (SP), and other powder pesticides to improve coverage, penetration, and efficacy.
Foliar Fertilizers: Adding organosilicon adjuvants reduces droplet surface tension, improves spreading and absorption, enhances nutrient utilization, and saves water.
Other Crop Protection Products: Used in specialty powders and spray formulations to improve product stability and consistent performance.
High wetting and penetration: Enhances droplet spread and penetration for improved efficacy.
Long-lasting effect: Resistant to rain wash-off, reducing solution loss.
Saves pesticides and water: Small doses achieve significant results.
Safe and environmentally friendly: Low toxicity, crop-safe, and easily degradable.
Flexible formulation: Powder form is easy to mix; liquid form is convenient for spraying.
Organosilicon adjuvants are generally low in toxicity and safe for crops, but recommended usage rates should be followed. Powder products should be evenly mixed into formulations to avoid local overdosing.
As modern agriculture demands higher efficiency, environmental protection, and precision application, organosilicon adjuvants will see wider adoption. Future developments will focus on diversified powder and liquid products, improved formulation stability, low-dose high-efficiency performance, and environmental friendliness. Integration with nanomaterials and controlled-release formulations may also enable smarter, more effective pesticide and fertilizer application.
In summary, organosilicon agricultural adjuvants are becoming indispensable tools in modern agriculture, helping improve crop yields, ensure production safety, and support sustainable farming practices.
