Abstract

Today, the use of pesticides and chemical fertilizers around the world to maintain and enhance crop yields has increased. These compounds are added to increase the effectiveness of pesticides and chemical fertilizers and plant growth regulators or to facilitate mixing. They turn. The chemical activity of the additives affects the product formulation or the tank of the sprayer. The effect of activating the accompanying materials are: reducing the surface tension which increases the contact surface, increasing the amount of moisture and wetting, increasing the movement of toxins and fertilizers in the foliage. Therefore, the choice of a complex in the formulation of associated compounds is very important. Additives in developed countries, especially the United States and Europe, play a very important role in the consumption of compounds related to the agricultural sector. Agricultural additives, especially such as glyphosate formulations, have been modified to reduce biotoxicity, which reduces costs and environmental pollution. By introducing as many surfactants in agriculture, in the near future, these useful substances can be used to improve chemical control and increase yield in Iranian agriculture.
