Novel additives to enhance the delivery of foliar crop sprays

作物产量对于养活全球人口和使加拿大成为一个更**自给自足的国家越来越重要。Active Agriscience是一家总部位于不列颠哥伦比亚省的公司，正在开发新技术和配方，以提高多种作物的产量，包括油菜、小麦、玉米、大麦和其他作物。主动农业科学提供的关键服务之一是能够将多种农用化学品组合成**单一配方，同时保持每种单独成分的稳定性和益处。将**多种成分组合到一个溶液中，大大减少了向**植物输送所需的工作量，例如减少作物喷洒的总体积和通过次数。虽然已经在这些配方的化学基础上取得了许多重要的**进展，但仍有宝贵的**机会通过优化**配方的物理性质来增强喷雾剂的输送。该项目旨在优化这些物理特性中的一些，以便更有效地进行作物喷洒。

Crop yield is increasingly important for feeding the global population and making Canada a more**self-sustaining country. Active AgriScience is a BC based company that is developing novel technologies and**formulations for improving yield in many types of crops including canola, wheat, corn, barley, and others. One**of the key services that Active AgriScience offers is the ability to combine a number of agrochemicals into a**single formulation, while maintaining the stability and benefits of each individual ingredient. Combining**multiple ingredients into a single solution greatly reduces the amount of work required for delivery to the**plants, such as reducing the total volume and number of passes in crop spraying. While many important**advancements based on the chemistry of these formulations have been made, there are still valuable**opportunities for enhancing the spray-based delivery through optimizing the physical properties of the**formulation. This project aims to optimize some of these physical properties for more efficient crop spraying.
