The biological and economic effectiveness of the combined application of glyphosate and surfactants in Central Kazakhstan

Abstract

Modern intensive crop production is unthinkable without the use of plant protection chemicals, of which herbicides account for the main part of the total chemical load on the agrobiocenosis.
With the combined use of various herbicides based on glyphosate and adjuvants, an increase in the biological effectiveness of the action of glyphosate-containing herbicides is observed. As a rule, the biological and production efficiency of any herbicide largely depends on the quality of its formulation (liquid, dry, encapsulated, etc.).
In original agrochemicals, the percentage of surfactants can reach 90%, and vice versa, in generic products, the content of some surfactants is low or completely absent. In practice, the right to choose a product always rests with the farmer himself or with a plant protection specialist.
