... instances of stick-slip activity from a gradually tilted drop. Measurements of critical tilt angles at two distinct initial contact angles are fitted by linear regression to interpolate the MSCA of the system. Spreading work is then calculated from the known value of surface tension and the derived MSCA...

... Adjuvants are known to enhance spray droplet retention on leaf surfaces and penetration of herbicide active ingredients through cuticles due to changes in physical properties such as density, viscosity, surface tension (SFT), and contact angle (CA) increasing leaf wettability. However, previous...

... Trifloxysulfuron 2.5, 5, and 10 g ai/ha mixed with non-ionic (0.25 % Induce and X-77), organosilicone (0.1 % Kinetic and Silwet L-77), and crop oil concentrate (1 % Agridex and Meth-N-Oil) adjuvants was evaluated for efficacy, surface tension (ST), contact angle (CA), and chlorophyll...

... . On mortality of grass and broadleaf weed species, significant differences were observed by tank mixing glyphosate with different adjuvants. Lowest Contact Angle (CA) and Surface Tension (ST) were recorded when glyphosate (Rodeo®, with no surfactant) was mixed with Improve and Blaze surfactants, which...

... ingredients were made with either kaolin clay or silica as a diluent. Each test formulation was evaluated for suspensibility at 1 and 2 hours, with promising surfactant and diluent combinations being chosen based on maximum suspensibility as a function of time. Surface tension data for the surfactant...

... distribution of the spray may be shifted to a lower or higher VMD by surfactants and drift retardants, respectively. Spray retention and spreading are increased on difficult to wet plant surfaces. Foliar penetration can be increased by stomatal pore infiltration by surfactants that lower surface tension...

... Surface active agents are used to formulate active ingredients for crop protection and are used in either liquid or solid form. The trend is to also incorporate wetting agents in the formulation in order to achieve bio-efficacy enhancement thus lowering the surface tension of the spray solution...

... Surfactants play an important role in changing surface tension of liquids and surface energy of fabrics. Thus, depending upon their intended use, they either enhance wettability of fabrics and liquid transport, or their barrier efficacy. Surfactants are among the most common additives used...

... Interactions between a graft copolymer of polyvinylpyrrolidone and butene (AGRIMER™ AL10-LC) 2 and ligninsulfonates were demonstrated by surface tension measurements. Two types of ligninsulfonates: LSA and LSB showed differences in their surface activities. A surface tension lowering effect...

... Dynamic surface tension (DST) measurements were obtained using the Maximum Bubble Pressure Technique for various adjuvant and emulsion systems. These results were compared with traditional test methods for adjuvants and emulsion systems. The adjuvants were compared to: 1.) Drave's wetting times...

.... Foliar droplets were counted and pesticide concentrations were measured by gas-liquid-chromatography. Physical properties measured were: viscosity-shear rate relationship, surface tension and volatility. The data indicated that the presence of the polymeric adjuvants imparted pseudoplastic behavior...

.... Physical properties such as, viscosity, surface tension, volatility and pseudo-plastic behavior, were determined for the formulations. Spray drops of the three oil-based Dipel formulations were completely spread on Kromekote cards and fir foliage,, The degree of spreading was influenced by viscosity...
