In the era of aerial spraying, agricultural silicone oil additives have become popular, providing stable droplet size and anti-drift properties to facilitate precise spraying.

1. The demand for drone spraying has increased, and the value of silicone oil additives has become prominent.
Low-altitude drone aerial spraying has become the mainstream method for large-scale planting. However, there are challenges such as fine droplets, easy evaporation, and significant drift loss in aerial spraying. Modified agricultural silicone oil additives can stabilize droplet size, reduce evaporation and drift, enhance the adhesion and retention of the pesticide solution in the crop canopy, and improve the efficiency of aerial spraying. They are increasingly recognized in scenarios such as rice, corn, and fruit tree integrated pest control.


2. Frequent customer questions, clear professional solutions
Question: How long after spraying will it rain? With the aid of additives, the pesticide is less likely to be washed away?
Answer: The additives can accelerate the penetration of the pesticide into the leaf tissue. Under normal conditions, it stabilizes absorption after 30 minutes or so. In the event of light rain, it is less likely to be washed away; if it encounters heavy rain shortly after spraying, the pesticide efficacy will still decline. It is necessary to plan the spraying window period according to the weather.
Question: Can the silicone oil additives be directly added to the pesticide base solution for long-term storage?
Answer: It is not recommended to store them in advance for a long time. Most silicone oil additives are suitable for immediate mixing and use. Long-term coexistence with concentrated pesticides is prone to changes in the system and performance degradation; special modified silicone oil for formulation production can be added after verifying stability in the formulation system.


3. Differentiating additive categories, the performance differences of various silicon oils are obvious
There are many types of agricultural silicone oil additives on the market. The performance of different modified structures varies greatly. Those focusing on spreading and penetration are suitable for waxy leaves; low-foaming silicon oil is suitable for large-scale mixing tanks with intense agitation and easy foaming; some general-purpose types have strong penetration and are more risky to use on young seedlings and tender leaves. The selection should match the growth stage of the crop.


4. Standardized use is key, avoiding pesticide damage and ensuring profits
Many farmers' reported pesticide damage issues mostly arise from spraying during the hottest part of the day, adding pesticides blindly during the seedling stage, or exceeding the ratio. Try to avoid spraying during high-temperature and strong-light periods; for fruit and vegetable seedlings and flower tender leaves, choose mild-type additives. Always conduct safety tests in small areas first, balance efficiency and crop safety, and leverage the long-term value of the additives.
