Regulating the dynamic wetting behavior of pesticide on banana leaves at different growth stages with surfactants

Abstract

Pesticide spraying constitutes an essential component of the production and management regimen within banana orchards, extending throughout the entire growth cycle of the banana plants. Exploring the intricate interplay between surfactants, pesticide formulations, and the evolving surface properties of banana leaves throughout their growth stages is critical to the enhancement of pesticide application methods and the elevation of agricultural productivity.
