Surfactants Improving the Wetting Behavior and Adhesion Mechanism of Pesticide Dilution Droplets on Jujube Leaf Surfaces.

ABSTRACT: Fruit tree leaves have different chemical compositions and diverse wax layer structures that result in different patterns of wetting and pesticide solution spreading on their surface. Fruit development is a time when pests and diseases occur, during which a large number of pesticides are needed. The wetting and diffusion properties of pesticide droplets on fruit tree leaves were relatively poor. To solve this problem, the wetting characteristics of leaf surfaces with different surfactants were studied. The contact angle, surface tension, adhesive tension, adhesion work, and solid-liquid interfacial tension of five surfactant solution droplets on jujube leaf surfaces during fruit growth were studied by the sessile drop method. C₁₂E₅ and Triton X-100 have the best wetti
