How do you choose the correct absorption enhancer?
Absorption enhancers ensure that crop protection agents are better absorbed into the plant. This can lead to a strong improvement in efficacy. They are often additives based on vegetable oil or plant oil esters. These additives give a visible emulsion when you add them to water. There are also absorption enhancers that are naturally soluble in water. But how do you choose the correct absorption enhancer for your crop? In this article, our specialist explains.
Absorption enhancers based on vegetable oil (including esters)
In some crops, these oily substances can cause a crop reaction that can lead to plant damage. Usually this is caused by too high an uptake of a highly active substance for the crop. The oil itself can sometimes even cause a reaction on sensitive tissue.
In order to prevent this, sometimes it is preferable to use another type of absorption enhancer,on sensitive crops; for instance, polyglycol.

What are the side-effects of chemical pesticides?
Many growers opt for integrated pest management, which combines biological and chemical crop protection. But not every chemical pesticide can be combined with every natural enemy, because these products can have side-effects on biology.

Which additives for chemical crop protection are there?
Additives increase the effectiveness of chemical crop protection. Properties that they can influence include the distribution, absorption and adhesion of active substances.

A sturdy and compact crop with Pirouette
Pirouette is an effective growth regulator with shortened growth, smaller internodes and a more compact plant as a result. These changes give the plant in specific crops a higher sales value.
