Wetting of pesticides
Surface chemical optimization for optimum wetting, adhesion and sprayability
When liquid pesticides are sprayed, some of the product runs off the leaf instead of remaining on it. In order to keep this amount as small as possible, the solution to be sprayed should form small drops and wet the leaves thoroughly. As both objectives are linked to the surface tension, the composition of pesticides can be optimized with the help of our interfacial chemical measuring instruments.
