What is a good non ionic surfactant?

Managers of land and aquatic systems have something in common. That is, they must manage vegetation at some point during the year. Perhaps it is weedy plants in crops, unwanted plants in lakes or ponds, invasive plants on rangelands, or unwanted vegetation in forest undergrowth. For each of these instances, control of plants is the common thread.

Control of plants is most commonly accomplished with the use of herbicides with a nonionic surfactant. Spraying herbicides to control unwanted vegetation is considered to be cost and time effective. However, care must be taken in selecting the herbicide which must be able to control the unwanted plant while being relatively safe to nontargets and the environment.

In addition, it is typical for the herbicide spray to include an adjuvant that will enhance the performance of the herbicide.

Non-ionic Surfactant Ingredients or Chemicals

Description of Nonionic Surfactant: surfactants (Surface Active Ingredients) are chemicals used to lower the surface tension between different substances. They function in multiple ways, like dispersants, emulsifiers, detergents and foaming agents. Most Surfactants have the same structure, a long, hydrophobic tail and a hydrophilic head. The tails are almost identical in most surfactants, they mainly differ in the hydrophilic head. This head can either be non-ionic, anionic, cationic or amphoteric. Whatever the structure, most surfactants work by creating micelles. These are small bubbles in which the surfactants have arranged themselves with their hydrophilic heads towards the solution, and the hydrophobic tail towards the center. This traps particles inside and allows it to function like a cleaning agent.
