Abstract: A deposition aid is provided, comprising a low molecular weight, low viscosity polysiloxane, combined with a crop oil concentrate or esterified seed oil concentrate. Combinations including the modified silicone can improve spreading and/or adhesion to foliage. Adding about 5%to about 20%of the modified silicone can provide more than a proportional increase in spreading and/or adhesion.

Abstract: A surfactant composition comprising two trisiloxane alkoxylate surfactants can provide synergistic improvements in at least spreading, adhering and/or uptake properties of chemical formulations containing those surfactants. A first surfactant having fewer than 10 alkylene oxide substituents is combined with a second surfactant of higher weight having 10 or more substituents. Compositions in accordance with the invention can lead to synergistically improved spread area as well as droplet adhesion of agrochemical sprays on plant surfaces.
