Agriculture continues to evolve as a field that is crucial for plant health and productivity. In this context, the use of Agrocol PNTR to enhance water contact on plant leaf surfaces significantly improves the effectiveness of agricultural pesticides and fertilizers.

Why is Water Contact Important?

When pesticides and fertilizers come into contact with plant leaves, water contact is crucial for remaining on the surface for an extended period and facilitating effective absorption. However, it is essential for this water to spread correctly on the leaf surface and evaporate effectively.

Two Different Scenarios in Water Contact: Lotus Flower and Rose Leaf

Water contact, similar to a lotus flower leaf, creates beads that rapidly roll away along the leaf's surface. In contrast, water droplets on a rose leaf accumulate without dispersing, indicating that water cannot be retained on the leaf surface for an extended period.

AGROCOL PNTR Solution: Needle Droplets and Increased Water Contact

AGROCOL PNTR is a specialized penetration enhancer developed by experts. This unique formula increases the contact of water droplets with plant leaves and delays the evaporation of water from the leaf. It achieves water contact similar to a lotus flower and prevents water from dispersing, similar to a rose leaf.

Increased Effectiveness and Pest Control

The use of AGROCOL PNTR enhances the effectiveness of pesticides, especially those used for pests residing on the upper side of leaves. This allows water to stay on the leaf surface for a more extended period, promoting more efficient plant nutrition.

Solution for Superhydrophobic Surfaces: The Impact of PNTR

A water-repellent or superhydrophobic leaf surface can cause water droplets to bounce off when in contact with pesticide-laden water. AGROCOL PNTR extends the contact time between water and superhydrophobic surfaces, enhancing effectiveness.

AGROCOL PNTR creates a surface with superwetting properties by forming small sub-superwetting droplets. This optimizes the interaction between water and plant leaves, allowing agricultural pesticides and fertilizers to be used more effectively.

Among the innovations shaping the future of agriculture, AGROCOL PNTR provides farmers with a valuable tool to increase plant health and agricultural efficiency.
