LI700 Non-ionic Surfactant is one of the most researched adjuvants in the world and its multifunctional properties are well understood. LI 700 is made from a blend of Lecithin oil, propionic acid (a weak organic acid) and various surfactants. This combination of ingredients gives LI 700 a wide range of properties that can greatly enhance pesticide performance in several ways.
Spreading and wetting
LI700 Non-ionic Surfactant reduces the surface tension of spray droplets, allowing them to spread over a greater surface area which greatly increases coverage. In this regard LI 700 is not different to a typical adjuvant.
LI 700 does more. Its acidifying properties protect many pesticides from chemical degradation in the tank and provide a more favourable pH environment on the leaf surface for their uptake. Its multifunctional chemistry opens cuticle pathways in the waxy layer of the plant and increases penetration and translocation to the target sites.
Disclaimer: Exposure to almost any pesticide can cause illness. Some pesticides are so toxic even a small quantity can be dangerous to the operator, bystanders, pets, livestock and wildlife. To apply any pesticide safely, your most important source of information is the label on the container. Read and follow the directions on it.
