Why is it worth using an adjuvant?

Adjuvants, or boosters, are worth using because they improve the effectiveness of plant protection products, fertilizers and other substances by increasing their adhesion, wettability and penetration into plants. Thanks to this, the doses of the preparations used can be reduced, reducing costs and reducing the negative impact on the environment.


Benefits of using adjuvants:


Increased effectiveness of treatments:

  • Adjuvants improve the wetting and adhesion of the working fluid to the surface of plants, which allows for better coverage and penetration of active substances.

Reduction of the dose of preparations:

  • Thanks to better action, smaller doses of plant protection products, fertilizers and other substances can be used, which translates into savings.


Reduction of the negative impact on the environment:

  • Smaller doses of preparations mean a lower burden on the environment.


Greater resistance to unfavorable weather conditions:

  • Adjuvants help maintain the working fluid on the surface of plants, even during rain or high temperatures.


Limiting evaporation and movement of substances into the soil:

  • Adjuvants can prevent excessive evaporation of liquids and their uncontrolled movement into the soil, which helps protect groundwater.

Improving the stability of the spray liquid:

  • Adjuvants can prevent the separation of spray liquid mixtures, which ensures an even distribution of active substances.

Possibility of mixing different preparations:

  • Adjuvants can facilitate the mixing of herbicides with fertilizers, which simplifies the spraying process.

The use of adjuvants in various fields:


Agriculture:

  • Adjuvants are widely used in agriculture to increase the effectiveness of herbicide, fungicide, insecticide and fertilizer treatments.

Horticulture:

  • In horticulture, adjuvants help to better cover plants with plant protection products and fertilizers, which is especially important in the case of greenhouse crops.

Other areas:

  • Adjuvants are also used in other areas where it is necessary to improve the properties of working fluids, for example in the chemical or cosmetics industry.

summary

In summary, adjuvants are a valuable tool that can improve the efficiency and safety of many processes in which working fluids are used.
