Silicones 101: The Power of Superspreader Adjuvants
With the current world dynamics, the smart use of agricultural treatments, including fertilizers and pesticides, became a pressing matter and how to achieve more with less is the key to succeed through this challenging environment. With its organosilicone-based technology, Momentive with its Silwet portfolio offers a range of solutions that are ready to optimize the performance of these treatments in the field, helping growers everywhere with more than 40 years of proven performance and innovation.
In this webinar you will learn:
-
The rule of three (stick, spread, penetrate) to achieve better efficiency on agricultural treatments.
-
The science behind the interaction between crops and agricultural treatments.
-
How organosilicone-based adjuvants can help growers improve their performance in the field, getting their treatment exactly where they are needed.
Speaker
George Policello, Technology Research Fellow for Agriculture
His experience with Momentive and its predecessor companies exploring the use of organosilicone-based agricultural adjuvants spans over 40 years. Focused on the direction and design of new technologies, George has over 40 granted patents and more than 20 publications in the field, and, to this day, he continues to explore how organosilicone adjuvants can improve the performance of agricultural sprays to help growers everywhere achieve better results with a more efficient use of their treatments. George holds a degree in biology from Mercy College, NY and received the 2020 Distinguished Scientist Award from the Westchester Chemical Society.
