Surfactants are compounds that help in reducing the surface tension between two liquids, a gas and a liquid or a liquid and a solid. They are usually organic compounds that are amphiphilic, which means they contain both hydrophobic and hydrophilic groups. The surfactants, therefore, include both a water soluble and a water insoluble component. Surfactants may act as detergents, emulsifiers, foaming agents, wetting agents and dispersants. Agricultural surfactants are additives applied in agricultural formulations for the purpose of enhancing the effectiveness of agricultural pesticides. They improve the wettability, retention, spreading ability and penetration onto the leaf surface by decreasing the surface tension of water in the pesticide's spray solutions. Agricultural surfactants also reduce the overall costs, quantity of pesticides used and pollution as less active compounds are needed during foliar uptake.
MARKET DYNAMICS
An upsurge in the adoption of precision farming, along with the necessity to protect the crops from pests are factors driving the growth of the agricultural surfactants market.
