Adjuvants play an important role in plant treatment and protection, offering a range of benefits that include shielding crops from pests, weather, and environmental stressors. These additives serve as essential components in agricultural formulations, enhancing the efficacy of pesticides while minimising environmental impact.
One significant benefit of adjuvants is their ability to prevent pests from eating and contaminating crops. By bolstering the effectiveness of pesticides, adjuvants help eradicate pests and reduce crop damage, ensuring a higher yield and improved crop quality. As a bonus adjuvants act as a protective barrier, shielding plants from adverse weather conditions such as extreme temperatures, wind, and rain, further enhancing their resilience and productivity.
Adjuvants can offer environmentally friendly alternatives to traditional additives, such as tallow amine ethoxylate, commonly used in herbicide formulations. Adjuvants with low aquatic toxicity provide effective herbicide performance while minimising harm to aquatic ecosystems, making them a sustainable choice for plant treatment and protection.
In addition to their role in pest control and environmental safety, adjuvants also offer practical benefits for agricultural film applications. When used in conjunction with linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) resins, adjuvants enhance the durability, flexibility, and protective properties of agricultural films such as silage, pallet, and bale wraps. This ensures that crops are adequately protected during storage and transportation, reducing spoilage and minimising post-harvest losses.
Adjuvants are indispensable tools in plant treatment and protection, offering a multitude of benefits that enhance crop resilience, productivity, and environmental sustainability. From preventing pest infestations to improving the performance of agricultural films, adjuvants play a crucial role in modern agriculture, ensuring the continued success and viability of crop production systems.
Product and customer insights
Despite numerous cleanings, the productivity of the Reverse Osmosis plant would not recover from severe membrane fouling. The membrane autopsy revealed that the ferric hydroxide was seeding
silica polymerization and that even while the ferric hydroxide was removed, the silica scaling was continuing to grow.
The plant was experiencing weekly shutdowns for fiber clean up (~ 3 kg bags of matted slurry is cleaned per week). The shut downs were costly as they reduce plant availability for production.
The International Maritime Organisation (IMO) regulation, known as IMO 2020 was the the largest change in regulation relating to marine fuels impacting 75% of the fuel used by the shipping industry.
Keeping drilling costs low using Redi-Guard™ High Performance, an ecologically friendly drilling fluid technology with revolutionary rheological and shale encapsulation properties
AWC A-110 effectively inhibited scale at a dosage of 3.5 ppm and an operating pH of 6.9. This increase in operating pH reduced the district’s annual acid consumption by ~$350K per year based on their current production.
Research indicates that Sea Buckthorn may be able to strengthen the immune system. One in vitro study focused on the possible immunomodulatory properties of Sea Buckthorn.
MCI® -2020 V/O and ChemMaster’s Colorsil were chosen to repair and protect the walls based on their 20 year warranties and the fact that together they could fulfill the other specified repair design requirements.
The East Hokkaido region is known to have the highest volume of potato product in Japan. Unfortunately, a potato farmer in the area was experiencing a high rate of potato scab infection in his agricultural field.
