Agricultural production at present is roughly 90% dependent on oil inputs; Farming inputs are literally petroleum based.
Petroleum geologists say that the world is facing peak world oil production.
Did you know this?
If all the countries in the world ate the way the American eats, humanity would exhaust all known global fossil-fuel reserves in just seven years.

Agricultural Surfactants
Adjuvant (Definition)A material added to a tank mix solution to aidor modify the action of an agrichemical or the
physical characteristics of the mixture
Adjuvant may be a surfactant, drift control agent, water conditioner, etc
SurfactantSurface Active Agents; usually lowers the surface tension
of spray solution
![Page 31: Victus Ag Brochure 2009 Low Res](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022020217/55272c5055034616368b46e0/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Contact angle
• “Contact angle” (CA) is a profile measurement of a drop of water in contact with a solid surface.
• When a surfactant (wetting agent) is introduced into the solution, the surface tension is reduced and the water droplet becomes flatter.
• Lower the CA, the greater the spreading and coverage properties
• Water has a CA of 93 degrees. A typical surfactant influences the contact angle 30-45 degrees, and UltraWet can reduce contact angles to 25 degrees or less.
![Page 32: Victus Ag Brochure 2009 Low Res](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022020217/55272c5055034616368b46e0/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)

Qualities required for a superior foliar surfactant system
Non ionic nature:
contains no charge, does not react with active ingredient
Superior retention:
The spray droplet has to transfer its flight energy to the surface within milliseconds
Superior spreading:
Increases wettability of foliar surface ensuringbetter coverage
![Page 34: Victus Ag Brochure 2009 Low Res](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022020217/55272c5055034616368b46e0/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Factors influencing the foliar uptake:
Plant cuticle (e.g. species, growth stage, growing conditions)
Active ingredient (e.g. size and solubility)
Environmental conditions (e.g. temperature, relative humidity, wind, rain)

Exploring inside the leaf
Waxy coating (hydrophobic) on the leaf surface makes it difficult to retain the spray droplets
Note:Cuticle is presenton both sides ofthe leaf surface
Stomata when open, size = 50-100 μm ; cuticular pore sizes are in nanometers
Point to note: 1 cm = 10 mm 1mm= 1/1000 μm (micron)1 μm = 1/1000 nm (nano)
![Page 37: Victus Ag Brochure 2009 Low Res](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022020217/55272c5055034616368b46e0/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Foliar sprays without high quality surfactants mostly enter into the leaf through stomatal opening.
Our surfactants help the foliar spray droplets to be retained in the leaf surface and get in through cuticular pores

UltraWet Challenge
To visualize the spreading effect of UltraWet we recommend you to place a drop of water on a leaf surface and add a small droplet of UltraWet to the water drop. The spreading also results in penetration of the foliar spray into the leaf.
To know more request video demonstration CD of foliar spreadingand penetration demo.
Can your surfactant spread water dropletson any foliar surface?
