Factors affecting the efficacy of pesticides
Pesticide use is the most common method for pest control. However, farmers often report that their pesticides are not as effective as expected. Some products claim to be high-quality, with complete certifications, new ingredients, and proper dosages, yet they still fail to meet expectations. This can lead to confusion, as even “good†pesticides may not perform well due to various factors.
　　 1. The quality of the pesticide itself affects its effectiveness
The composition, physical and chemical properties, and formulation of a pesticide all play a role in its performance. Even with the same active ingredient, different formulations can have varying levels of effectiveness. Additionally, some manufacturers may mislabel or dilute the actual content, which directly impacts the results farmers see in the field.
　　 2 , incorrect disease diagnosis leads to improper treatment
Many farmers and dealers rely on experience to diagnose plant diseases, which can sometimes lead to mistakes. For example, fungal and bacterial infections are often confused, leading to the use of a single pesticide when a combination might be more effective. This can delay the best time for treatment, reducing the overall success rate of the pesticide application.
　　 3 , spray quality significantly influences pesticide performance
The quality of the spray has a direct impact on how well the pesticide works. In many cases, traditional sprayers produce large droplets that bounce off the crop surface, resulting in up to 50% of the solution being wasted. Reducing droplet size by half can increase the number of droplets by eight times, improving coverage and effectiveness. However, some farmers add more water than needed, which actually reduces the amount of pesticide reaching the target plants.
To improve spray quality, it’s essential to upgrade spraying equipment, reduce nozzle size, and maintain a distance of over 20 cm between the sprayer and the crop. Adding surfactants like silicone-based agents can also help reduce droplet bounce, especially on waxy leaves, enhancing the overall effectiveness of the pesticide.
　　 4 , changing the approach to disease prevention is crucial
Many farmers adopt a reactive approach, treating pests only after they appear, rather than focusing on early prevention. This can lead to increased reliance on a single type of pesticide, which may result in resistance over time. It’s important to shift towards a proactive strategy, using a variety of products and following the principle of "prevention first." Mixing different active ingredients can help delay resistance and improve long-term effectiveness.
　　 5 , misunderstandings about mixing pesticides can cause problems
Farmers often mix multiple types of pesticides in one application, hoping to solve all pest issues at once. However, this can lead to several problems. First, improper secondary dilution can reduce effectiveness. Second, the order in which you mix different formulations matters—some combinations may not be stable. Finally, pH imbalances can cause chemical reactions, such as precipitation or reduced efficacy, especially when mixing copper-based products with others.
　　 6, environmental conditions like temperature and humidity also affect pesticide performance
Spraying during dewy conditions or when temperatures are too low can reduce the effectiveness of the pesticide. Ideally, spraying should occur between 20°C and 30°C, as this range provides optimal conditions for the pesticide to work effectively.
In conclusion, expecting a single "magic" pesticide to solve all problems is unrealistic. Understanding the factors that influence effectiveness—such as formulation, application technique, and environmental conditions—is key to maximizing the value of every pesticide used. By addressing these issues, farmers can achieve better results and make more informed decisions in their pest management strategies.
