Soybean production is one of the pillars of Brazilian agriculture, yet many farmers still miss opportunities to add value to their crops. One such opportunity is the on-farm production of agricultural adjuvants, such as foliar adhesives. In addition to reducing costs, this practice enhances the efficiency of pesticide and fertilizer applications, ensuring higher productivity and profitability.
What Is a Foliar Adhesive and Why Is It Important?
A foliar adhesive is an adjuvant used to improve the adhesion of products applied to leaves, such as herbicides, fungicides, and insecticides. It prevents droplets from running off or evaporating, ensuring that the applied products effectively reach their target. This reduces waste, optimizes resources, and provides better crop protection.
Advantages of Producing Foliar Adhesive on the Farm
- Cost Reduction: Producing your own foliar adhesive eliminates the need to purchase industrial adjuvants, lowering input costs.
- Customization: On the farm, you can adjust the adhesive formulation according to the specific needs of your crops.
- Sustainability: Local production reduces dependence on industrial chemicals and lowers the carbon footprint associated with transporting inputs.
- Added Value: Mastering this technique increases production efficiency and enhances the market value of your soybeans.
How to Produce Foliar Adhesive on the Farm
Foliar adhesive can be produced using soybean oil from the farm along with emulsifiers. The process involves mixing these components in specific proportions, followed by testing to ensure the product’s quality and effectiveness. With basic equipment and some knowledge, any farmer can start producing their own agricultural adjuvant.
