How tank-mix adjuvant type and concentration influence the contact angle on wheat leaf surface. [PDF]
PeerJ, 2023 Currently, the utilization of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for spraying pesticides is a prevalent issue in Asian countries. Improving the pesticide efficiency of UAV spraying is a major challenge for researchers. One of the factors that affect the efficiency is the wetting property of the spraying solutions on crop leaves.

UAV spraying on citrus crop: impact of tank-mix adjuvant on the contact angle and droplet distribution. [PDF]
PeerJ, 2022 Adding tank-mix adjuvants into the spray mixture is a common practice to improve droplet distribution for field crops (e.g., rice, wheat, corn,etc.) when using Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) sprayers. However, the effectiveness of tank-mix adjuvant for UAV spraying in orchard crops is still an open problem, considering their special canopy structure and

Comprehensive Study on the Effects of Peanut Leaf Characteristics and Tank-Mix Adjuvant on Droplet-Spreading Behavior. [PDF]
ACS OmegaIn agricultural production, the application of pesticides via spraying is an effective approach to controlling pests and diseases. However, the pesticide utilization efficiency in peanut fields is generally low, owing to factors such as crop-specific characteristics and the nonoptimal use of adjuvants.

Effects of pesticide-adjuvant combinations used in almond orchards on olfactory responses to social signals in honey bees (Apis mellifera). [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2023 Exposure to agrochemical sprays containing pesticides and tank-mix adjuvants has been implicated in post-bloom mortality, particularly of brood, in honey bee colonies brought into California almond orchards for pollination.

Mechanistic Aspects and Effects of Selected Tank-Mix Partners on Herbicidal Activity of a Novel Fatty Acid Ester. [PDF]
Plants (Basel), 2022 Only a limited number of contact herbicides exist in agricultural production. While systemic herbicides are more efficient also at suboptimum spray coverage with long-lasting weed control, contact herbicides provide several advantages.

Agriculture, 2022 Pesticide foliage treatment is used in agricultural production to protect plants from diseases, pests, or weeds. Tank-mix adjuvants added to the barrel can improve the effective utilization rate of pesticides. Herein, a comparative study was conducted to investigate the effect of three kinds of tank-mix adjuvant on the deposition, absorption, and ...

Toxicity of spray adjuvants and tank mix combinations used in almond orchards to adult honey bees (Apis mellifera). [PDF]
J Econ Entomol, 2023 Abstract Commercial beekeepers transporting honey bees across the United States to provide almond pollination services have reported honey bee deaths, possibly due to pesticide applications made during crop bloom. Pesticides are often applied as “tank mixes”, or mixtures of fungicides and insecticides combined into a single application ...

Density and surface tension of aqueous solutions of adjuvants used for tank-mixes with pesticides [PDF]
Plant, Soil and Environment, 2012 Adjuvants are surface active agents that are added to pesticide formulations or tank-mix to facilitate the mixing, application, or efficacy of these products. Addition of adjuvants changes the physico-chemical properties of spray liquid. In this work, we have focused in particular on surface tension and density of aqueous solutions of different ...

Effect of tank mixed adjuvants on the drift potential of phenmedipham formulations. [PDF]
Communications in agricultural and applied biological sciences, 2005 The aim of this paper is to analyse the effect of adjuvants and formulations on drift. The spray liquids consisted of four adjuvants (Actirob 0.4 %, Tensiofix 0.2%, Breakthru 0.2%, Silwet L-77 0.1%) with water and with two formulations of Phenmediphame (C16H16N2O4, 4.45%): an emulsion-forming (EC) and a suspension concentrate (SC).

Impact of glyphosate formulations and adjuvants: effects on leaf interaction, metabolism, and control of sourgrass [PDF]
Ciência Rural, 2022 : The addition of commercial formulations and adjuvants to a tank mix may result in differences in the wettability on the plant surface, foliar uptake and herbicide efficacy. Thus, the objectives of this study were to evaluate the influence of glyphosate
