The effectiveness of agricultural pesticides hinges not only on their active ingredients but also on how well they are delivered and interact with the target plant. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. plays a crucial role in this delivery system by providing advanced chemical adjuvants, such as their Wetting Dispersant RU208, a non-ionic silicone surfactant. This product is designed to unlock the full potential of pesticides by enhancing their physical application properties.

A primary challenge in pesticide application is the surface tension of water-based sprays, which hinders effective coverage. Droplets tend to bead up on waxy or hairy leaf surfaces, reducing the contact area and thus the efficacy of the pesticide. RU208, a specialized non-ionic silicone surfactant, is formulated to rapidly and significantly reduce this surface tension. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. highlights that RU208 can lower the surface tension of water to an impressive 20.5 mN/m at a concentration of just 0.1%. This capability is fundamental to its performance.

The reduction in surface tension achieved by RU208 leads to a lower contact angle between the spray liquid and the plant surface. This allows the spray to spread out into a thinner, more uniform film, covering a larger area of the leaf. Improved coverage ensures that the pesticide is distributed evenly across the plant, maximizing its potential to protect against pests and diseases. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. emphasizes that this enhanced spreading is a key benefit derived from using their product.

Furthermore, the wetting capabilities of RU208 are instrumental in promoting the absorption of pesticides into the plant's tissues. Many pesticides function systemically, requiring uptake through the leaf. The surfactant's ability to reduce surface tension helps the active ingredients penetrate the plant's cuticle more effectively. This faster and more efficient absorption means the pesticide can act more quickly and achieve better results. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. promotes RU208 as a product that enhances pesticide absorption.

An important consequence of better wetting and absorption is improved rainfastness. Pesticides that adhere well to the leaf and penetrate its surface are less likely to be washed away by rain. This means the protective effect of the pesticide lasts longer, providing sustained crop protection. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. points out that the improved resistance to rain erosion offered by RU208 is a significant advantage for growers, ensuring the longevity of the applied treatment.

RU208's application is versatile. It can be used as a tank-mix adjuvant, added to the pesticide spray at the point of use, or formulated directly into pesticide products. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. provides usage guidelines, typically recommending low dosages for tank-mixing (0.01% to 0.1%) and higher concentrations for formulations (0.1% to 5%), advising on pH adjustment for stability.

In summary, the non-ionic silicone surfactant RU208 from NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. is a powerful tool for agricultural professionals. By leveraging the unique properties of silicone surfactants, it significantly improves pesticide spreading, absorption, and rainfastness, ultimately leading to more effective crop protection and better yields.
