Fertiláqua offers solutions for application technology

Several factors affect the efficiency of spray application on crops, including climatic aspects such as temperature, humidity and wind speed at the time of application and good preparation of the spray using quality adjuvants and spray conditioners. These and other requirements directly impact the productivity and profitability of the crop. Given this reality in the field, the correct use of application technology is the most suitable solution for producers seeking gains in productivity, increased efficiency and products, whether phytosanitary or nutritional.

The process involves the use of tools and handling to better check and adjust the sprayer for each type of use, in addition to the correct selection of tips, working pressure and flow. Adjusting the sprayer and correctly choosing the adjuvant, for example, will mainly affect the size of the droplet to be applied and have a direct impact on the presence or absence of drift. Drift is something that is very present in field applications, causing loss of products in addition to the risk of contaminating nearby crops.

The application technology also favors pre-sowing herbicide applications, as desiccation is almost always carried out at times with high temperatures and low humidity. Under these conditions, many losses or low efficiency of herbicides are observed, which leads to the need for the sequential application of these products before sowing. As a result of using application technology at this stage, the farmer guarantees sowing in an area free of weeds with fewer herbicide applications.

To meet the need for successful application technology in the field, Fertiláqua offers high-technology solutions with proven efficiency in land and aerial applications, which guarantee anti-drift action and act as adjuvants, such as Amino AD+, Dimi A20+ and Maxi Aplic, which perform in adverse conditions that could cause large losses due to drift. They also promote greater wetting and adhesiveness of the products applied to plant leaves, further improving their yield and performance. “The response of these products in the field guarantees their differentiation in the market. In a single product we can offer anti-foam, anti-drift effects, as well as wetting, adhesiveness, wetting and emulsification characteristics. All are recommended for both herbicide, insecticide and fungicide formulations or applications”, says Josué Fogaça, Market Development Coordinator at Fertiláqua.
