How tank-mix adjuvant type and concentration influence the contact angle on wheat leaf surface.

ABSTRACT: Currently, the utilization of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for spraying pesticides is a prevalent issue in Asian countries. Improving the pesticide efficiency of UAV spraying is a major challenge for researchers. One of the factors that affect the efficiency is the wetting property of the spraying solutions on crop leaves. Tank-mix adjuvants, which can modify the wetting ability of the solutions, are often used for foliar application. However, different types and concentrations of tank-mix adjuvants may have different impacts on the wetting properties of droplets. In this article, we investigated the effects of four tank-mix adjuvants, Beidatong (BDT), Velezia Pro (VP), Nongjianfei (NJF), and Lieying (LY), on the dynamic contact angle (CA) values of droplets on the adaxial surface of wh
