Application of agricultural wetting agents

Application of agricultural wetting agents

Agricultural wetting agents are widely used in agricultural production. Their main function is to reduce the surface tension of liquids, increase the wettability and permeability of liquids to solid surfaces, thereby improving the growth environment of crops and increasing the yield and quality of crops. The following is a detailed analysis of the application of agricultural wetting agents:

1. Application in pesticides and fertilizers

Improve the utilization rate of pesticides and fertilizers

By using pesticide and fertilizer solutions containing wetting agents, the water absorption and nutrient absorption capacity of plant leaves can be increased, thereby improving the utilization rate of pesticides and fertilizers.

Wetting agents can reduce the loss and waste of pesticides and fertilizers and reduce pollution to the environment.

Enhance the effect of pesticides and fertilizers

Wetting agents can improve the spreadability and permeability of pesticides and fertilizers on the surface of plant leaves, making pesticides and fertilizers easier to be absorbed and used by plants.

This helps to improve the insecticidal, bactericidal and weed control effects of pesticides, as well as the yield-increasing effect of fertilizers.

2. Application in soil improvement

Improve soil structure

Wetting agents can improve the air permeability and water retention of the soil, making the soil more loose and breathable.

This helps to promote the smooth progress of processes such as microbial activity and fertilizer decomposition, thereby improving soil fertility.

Improve soil water utilization

Wetting agents can keep moisture in the soil longer and reduce water evaporation and loss.

This helps to improve the drought resistance and growth of crops, especially in arid areas or dry seasons.

3. Application in crop growth

Promote crop growth

Wetting agents can increase the wettability of plant leaf surfaces, improve plant photosynthesis efficiency and absorption and utilization of nutrients.

This helps to promote the growth and development of crops and increase crop yield and quality.

Improve crop stress resistance

By using pesticides and fertilizer solutions containing wetting agents, the stress resistance of crops, such as drought resistance, disease resistance, and insect resistance, can be enhanced.

This helps to reduce damage to crops during growth and increase crop yield and stability.

4. Precautions for use

Choose the right wetting agent

Choose the right type and concentration of wetting agent according to factors such as the type of crop, growth stage and soil conditions.

Use wetting agent correctly

Use wetting agent correctly according to the instructions or the advice of professionals to avoid excessive or improper use that may cause damage to crops or environmental pollution.

Pay attention to the storage and transportation of wetting agents

Wetting agents should be stored in a dry, cool and ventilated place, avoiding direct sunlight and high temperatures. During transportation, attention should be paid to moisture-proof, leak-proof and fire-proof measures.

In summary, agricultural wetting agents have a wide range of application values in the enhancement of pesticides and fertilizers, soil improvement, and crop growth. By using wetting agents correctly, the utilization rate and effect of pesticides and fertilizers can be improved, soil structure and water utilization can be improved, the growth and development of crops can be promoted, and the yield and quality of crops can be increased.
