The new high performance silicone agricultural agent can be 1/4 water province half of pesticide

In December 14th, the Ministry of agriculture and Momentive performance materials group in Beijing, with the concerted efforts of both sides to improve China pesticide spraying technology cooperation projects reported test results of the latest promotion. Two years, remarkable achievements of the large area of the main agricultural production areas using Momentive Silwet series products,the amount of 20%~30%, and can reduce the use of pesticides, and save up to 50% of the water. At present, the existing nationwide in 16 provinces and cities in more than 500 counties and cities of farmland by the product, two years a total reduction of pesticide active ingredient content was about 230 tons, saving more than 300000 tons per. Through the use of silicone technology innovation, for agricultural water conservation, reducing the use of pesticides, reduce pesticide residues, the protection of the ecological environment will play a positive role in promoting.

Agricultural aid Silwet innovation

As a leader in the development of new chemical materials, silicone products be just unfolding, it has gradually penetrated into all areas of life. Application of silicone in agriculture has 20 years of history, the first began in New Zealand.Momentive performance materials group is a pioneer in organic silicon industry,the Silwet series products are a kind of silicone surface active agent, it can makethe agricultural chemicals spraying play better efficacy. Compared with traditional surfactants, it is more easily attached on the blade, with super spreading and wetting properties, faster penetration and rain erosion resistant through stomata.This excellent spreadability, mean coverage and control effect of pesticide sprayonly very small amount can get ideal.

Momentive performance materials group Greater China president and CEOsection Xiaoying lady said: China is a large agricultural country, agricultural technology and product needs a lot of high efficiency and environmental protection, the as the world's leading silicone manufacturer, will continue todevelop innovative technology and local products, to meet the needs ofagricultural development China. The new agricultural powdery super spreading agent -- SilwetPD is tailor-made for the Chinese market. In China there arepesticide products are 25%~30% powder type, silicone additives previous were liquid silicone oil, the need for additional process can add powder pesticide.While SilwetPD can be directly added to the solid pesticides, such as wettable powder, water dispersible granules, granules, effervescent agent, solid solidfoliar fertilizer and plant growth regulator.

To promote the effective test

Since the 2005 November signing of pesticide spraying technology cooperation project memorandum, Momentive performance materials group and the Ministry of agriculture and under the National Agricultural Technology Extension and service center, in the national key agricultural region launched a series of experimental training and promotion. In the nearly 80000 county and townshipagricultural workers, planting large and demonstration households to carry out professional training at the same time, more for the pest of vegetables and fruits,tea and rice of different crops harm done many experiments of control.According to the National Agricultural Technology Promotion Center related to the person in charge: through the use of Silwet, can effectively improve the efficiency of pesticide application was 30%, that is to say the average per mu can reduce the dosage of pesticide 20%~30%; and the prerequisite without changing the spraying apparatus, manual sprayer can reduce by 50% the volume of spray,so as to save the cost and reduce the workload of farmers. So far, about 20000000 acres of cropland, more than 200000 farmers used pesticides mixed with Silwet products, coupled with the pesticide manufacturers cooperation,pesticide active ingredient dosage reduction of about 230 tons of total. Pesticide spraying to improve the effect of two years, which makes the day more than 300000 tons of water. National Agricultural Technology Promotion Center Director Xia Jingyuan said, at present is still the main method of chemical control of crop diseases, pests, but how to reduce chemical control hazard to crops and environment is an urgent subject, test and demonstration effect of the Silwet agricultural aid to two years to solve this difficult problem brings hope.

The future potential application

Related experts Ministry of Agriculture said that China's cultivated land1800000000 mu, the annual pesticide use amounted to 160000 tons, the use of pesticides are caused by excessive crop pesticide residue problem is serious,and seriously pollute the soil, water and other natural environment. Through the use of Momentive performance materials group's innovative technology, not only to save water resources, but also can reduce the pesticide to the environment destruction. According to the national 1800000000 mu of cultivated land area calculation, the annual savings of 75 kilograms per mu water (save 50% years of medication 5 times), if all use Silwet agent, can save at least 1.35 tons of spray water, pesticide dosage (province medicine 30%) can save about 48000 tons.

In 2008, Momentive will continue to carry out in-depth cooperation with the Ministry of agriculture, will be held for many technical seminars in more provinces and farmers in the technology that will, is expected to conduct professional training for more than 40000 agricultural technology personnel, to further improve the basic technical personnel and farmers' pesticide application concepts and technology, to allow more farmland and crops benefit from.
