Viscoelastic surfactant as drift control agent in pesticide formulations

摘要

VISCOELASTIC SURFACTANT AS DRIFT CONTROL AGENT IN PESTICIDE FORMULATIONS Dual function viscoelastic surfactants (VES) which, when used in a pesticide formulation, are capable of producing a spray pattern between the patterns formed by spraying water and an aqueous pesticide solution containing guar gum as a way to reduce the drifting of the small drops to unintended targets while providing enhanced efficacy to the pesticide.
