Mechanism of action
(//tractor-service.com)
Alfalip surfactant improves the wetting of the above-ground parts of plants and strengthens the adhesion of the working solution of drugs, which contributes to the rapid and more complete penetration of the active substances of pesticides into the plant. This accelerates the action of
herbicides,
fungicides and
insecticides, ensuring their high efficiency. This is especially important during dry or cold weather, when the growth of weeds slows down and their wetting by the working solution deteriorates. In addition, the use of surface-active substances provides excellent resistance to being washed away by rain, heavy dew and ultraviolet rays, which extends the duration of the protective effect of the drugs.
Properties
Alfalip surfactant is compatible with most drugs, but before preparing the tank mixture, it is necessary to conduct a trial mixing. The tank mixture should be used immediately after preparation. Water hardness does not affect the effectiveness of the adhesive.
General recommendations
To prepare the working solution, pour the required amount of pesticide into the 1/3 filled tank of the sprayer with the mixing mode turned on. After 15 minutes, add Alfalip surfactant and fill the tank with water. It is especially recommended for use with herbicides in arid conditions, when there are only moderately sensitive weeds to the applied herbicide and weeds in an overgrown or stressed state.
Rate of consumption of working fluid
Alfalip is used in a concentration of 0.1% (100 ml/100 l of water) at the rate of consumption of the working fluid of 200-300 l/ha. When processing with a smaller volume, it is necessary to use at least 200 ml of Alfalip surfactant per hectare.
