When using silicone, please pay attention to the following points:

1. It is best to prepare it immediately and use it within 4 hours.

2. Speed up the spray walking speed appropriately. If you walk slowly, the plants per unit area will be exposed to too much medicine, which will lead to phytotoxicity.

3. When spraying, you should wear protective equipment in accordance with the requirements for using pesticides, and pay special attention to eye protection.

4. Do not increase the concentration of silicone at will

Some people say that the use of silicone is a double-edged sword. When some people add it to prevent diseases in crops, it will destroy the surface wax layer of the leaves, thus aggravating the occurrence of diseases. is that true? Why?

Under normal circumstances, try not to add agricultural silicone to emulsifiable concentrate products. Among fungicides, azoxystrobin, acetostrobin, and pyraclostrobin have relatively strong permeability, so organic silicone cannot be added for selective weeding. Generally, silicone should not be added to the agent because its unique strong permeability may also lead to the occurrence of phytotoxicity. It is not recommended to use fruit trees with thin peels after fruiting and before bagging. Famine-killing herbicides (glyphosate, glufosinate-ammonium) are better!

Under what circumstances is it not suitable to add silicone?

In a high-temperature environment, or if the leaves themselves have thin wax, it is not suitable to add silicone because it may cause phytotoxicity.

It doesn't matter if the wax layer itself is thick, but if it is used on crops with a thin wax layer, it will cause the plant's water retention capacity to decrease, damage the cells, and then cause phytotoxicity.

Another reason is that if some fungicides with better penetration are added with silicone, the effect will be too strong; the same is true for contact herbicides.

How to identify which brand of silicone is more effective?

For example, if there are three silicone products, you can first fill three paper cups with the same amount of water, pour the same amount of silicone into the paper cups and place them at the same level without stirring.

Then select three leaves with smooth and uneven surfaces and place them in the same horizontal position. Then select three graduated straws or toothpicks of the same size and place them into three paper cups respectively.

Finally, use three straws or toothpicks to inhale or dip equal doses of each silicone onto the three leaves, and then observe the following points:

1. See which paper cup is penetrated by the liquid first.

2. Look at which leaf has the wider expansion.

3. Check which leaf has the liquid on it that dries slowly in the air.

4. See which leaf is penetrated by the liquid first.

Organic silicon is now available in bottles, barrels, and bags. Datian recommends that it is more convenient to choose barrels. It is available in many agricultural supplies stores. Finally, I would like to remind everyone that when using organic silicon, you must pay attention to the ratio, temperature environment, and whether Whether the crop is suitable.
