About Surfactants

Surfactants, also called wetting agents, spreaders, or stickers, are tank-mix additives that farmers combine with pesticides, fungicides, and foliar nutrients to improve how spray solutions spread, wet, coat, and adhere to plant surfaces. They can help promote more uniform spray coverage and improve the performance of agricultural applications when used as recommended.

The collection includes different types of agricultural surfactants to suit various spraying requirements, including silicon-based super spreaders, sticker-penetrators, pH balancers and tank additives, and wetting-spreading agents. Farmers can choose a suitable surfactant based on the crop, agricultural input, spray conditions, and application requirements. These products offer a practical way to support efficient and uniform spray applications across different farming needs.

With options suited to different crops and agricultural inputs, BigHaat makes it convenient for farmers to find the right surfactant for their specific spraying needs.

Uses and Benefits of the Surfactants

• Improved spray coverage: Reduce the surface tension of water so spray droplets spread evenly across waxy or hairy leaf surfaces instead of beading up and rolling off
• Better adhesion (stickers): Help the spray solution stay on the leaf longer, resisting wash-off from dew or light rain
• Enhanced penetration: Silicon-based spreaders help active ingredients penetrate leaf cuticles and reach stomata, boosting the efficacy of pesticides and foliar fertilizers
• pH correction/tank conditioning: Products like pH Tunner and Lignofert stabilize spray-tank water pH, preventing degradation of chemicals mixed in hard or alkaline water
• Reduced input wastage: Because less product runs off, farmers often achieve the same efficacy with lower doses of the primary pesticide/fertilizer, cutting costs
• Uniform droplet formation: Prevents clumping/streaking of nozzles, giving more consistent coverage across the field

Surfactant Usage Tips

• Always add the surfactant to the spray tank last, after other pesticides/fertilizers are mixed, unless the label specifies otherwise
• Use the recommended dose per litre of water; over-dosing silicon-based spreaders can cause leaf phytotoxicity, especially on sensitive crops
• Avoid spraying during peak sun or high temperatures, as some surfactants increase the risk of leaf burn under such conditions
• Do a small compatibility test (jar test) when combining a new surfactant with an unfamiliar pesticide/fertilizer combination to check for precipitation
• Match product choice to purpose: use stickers for rain-prone conditions, silicon spreaders for hard-to-wet crops (like paddy, sugarcane), and pH balancers when local water is hard or alkaline
• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, and shake well before use
