The operation of spraying pesticides is relatively simple, and the technical requirements are not very high. Nowadays, many of them are replaced by plant protection drones. And there is a step that has always been manual operation, and that is the preparation of pesticides. The concentration preparation of this pesticide is a technical task, and the concentration directly affects the spraying effect. The principle: high or low concentration does not work, if it is too high, it will cause phytotoxicity, if it is too low, the pests will not be afraid. And in order to improve the effect of pesticides, most people add a substance called "organic silicon" in the process of configuration. And what role does it play in this process is the most critical question.

What is silicone?
It is indeed widely used in agriculture, especially as the most widely used "synergist". That is to say, its main purpose is to enhance the utilization rate of pesticides, which is better than using pesticides alone. How it improves the effect of pesticides depends mainly on the basic function of organic silicon? The biggest feature is that it has very good diffusivity, and it also has very good adhesion and penetration, and it is accompanied by high temperature resistance and water resistance. From these data it is shown that the pesticide stays on the crop for a longer period of time. Moreover, the penetration of the drug is also strengthened. In short, the coverage area of the pesticide is larger and more uniform. In this way, the pests can absorb more pesticides and the efficacy will be better. In this way, the pesticide and water consumption will be reduced, so as to achieve the purpose of saving water.
The biggest function of its silicone is its diffusivity. This is more difficult to understand. Let me simply give an example. For example, a pesticide added with organic silicon can spread to the entire leaf with only a little amount. Pesticides without organic silicon cannot achieve such an effect.

Another effect is that the silicone is more permeable and prevents water from washing out. These two points are also the key to determining the effect of pesticides. First, in terms of permeability, that is, pesticides can quickly enter the leaves or enter the body of some pests, so that the drug effect will come more quickly. Second, prevent water from washing away. This is mainly because after spraying, if it encounters rainfall, it will basically have no effect. And it prevents water from being washed away, and it can indeed ensure the residence time of the drug, which greatly improves the effect of the pesticide. This is why organic silicon is an important factor in the preparation of pesticides, is it still understandable? In addition, when spraying foliage fertilizer, organic silicon can also be added appropriately, and it must be used mainly not to mix with the fertilizer that reacts, remember.

Are there precautions when using silicone?
For this precaution, it is not very different from normal spraying, mainly to pay attention to several issues about the nature of silicone itself. Whether the formulated pesticide has "organic silicon" is basically before ten o'clock in the morning or after four o'clock in the afternoon. For these are the basic common sense of spraying medicine, you still have to keep in mind, although I have said it many times.
① The dilution concentration of silicone must be greater than 3000 times, and it must be prepared and used immediately. These use of silicone must be kept in mind.
② For the technical problem of spraying, use the medicament prepared with organic silicon. When spraying, it must be faster than normal and take personal protective measures, especially eye protection. The sprayed medicine in this way can quickly form a water film on the leaf surface, so that the diffusion is better.
③Organosilicon also has some drugs that interact with each other. When these drugs are prepared, silicone cannot be added. Such as: propargite, fenbutatin, fluazinam, flusilazole, epoxiconazole, etc. That is to say, silicone is not a panacea, and it needs to be paid attention to during use.

Summarize:
In the process of pesticide preparation, the purpose of adding organic silicon is also very simple, that is to increase the effect of the pesticide. The main reason is that silicone has very good diffusivity, permeability, and rain resistance, which enhance the performance of pesticides. This is the important reason why we add silicone when we spray medicine. And if you use silicone, you must pay attention to the above three points, otherwise there may be phytotoxicity if it is ineffective.
