Description

General Product Details:-  Agricultural Spreader Activator

A spreader activator is a type of agricultural adjuvant used to improve the performance of pesticides, fungicides, herbicides, and other foliar sprays. It is typically a non-ionic,silicon-based liquid or powder that is mixed with the main agricultural chemical before application.

Key Functions and Benefits:-

• Spreader: It reduces the surface tension of the spray solution, allowing the droplets to spread out and cover a larger, more uniform area on the plant’s leaf surface. This ensures better contact with the crop and prevents the spray from beading up and rolling off.
• Activator/Penetrator: It helps the active ingredients in the spray penetrate the waxy cuticle of the plant leaf more effectively. This leads to faster and more efficient absorption of the chemicals, improving their overall efficacy.
• Sticker: It helps the spray adhere to the plant surface, making it more resistant to being washed off by rain or irrigation, thus increasing the duration of its effectiveness.
• Improved Efficacy: By ensuring better coverage and penetration, a spreader activator maximizes the effectiveness of the applied chemicals, potentially reducing the need for repeated applications.
• Stress Reduction: Some silicon-based activators also contribute to the plant’s stress tolerance, helping them withstand conditions like drought and heat.
