Calidad del agua y su influencia en la eficacia de productos pesticidas

Worldwide, water is of utmost importance for plants, the deterioration of its quality is due to the discharge of various liquids by the constant use by farmers in Ecuador in order to preserve the quality of the crop, for agricultural use we must know the quality of water by evaluating the physicochemical parameters such as pH, alkalinity, turbidity, conductivity, temperature help determine their suitability for use in the field, even more important to determine the effectiveness of a pesticide, the dissolution mechanism of pesticides consists of the molecules that make up the active ingredient of the same, reducing their size until they are completely diluted through a process called hydrolysis, pH, alkalinity and turbidity are the main parameters that directly influence the effectiveness of pesticides, This is due to the fact that in the case of pH reduces the useful life of the mixture, while alkalinity causes the hydroxyls to significantly degenerate the effectiveness of the active ingredient of the pesticide, and turbidity in the water causes the suspended particles to bind with the pesticide itself, for this reason, it is recommended to analyze the water prior to the cultivation of the crop in the chosen area, to know how the pesticide dissolution mechanism works and to use coadjuvants, pH regulators and other tools that help to increase the effectiveness of the product when the water does not meet the required standards.

A nivel mundial el agua es de suma importancia para las plantas el deterioro de la calidad de la misma se debe a las descargas de diversos líquidos por el uso constante por parte delos agricultores en el Ecuador con el fin de preservar la calidad del cultivo, para el uso agrícola debemos saber la calidad del agua evaluando, los parámetros físico-químicos como lo son pH, alcalinidad, turbidez, conductividad, temperatura ayudan a determinar su aptitud para ser usadas en el campo, más importante aún para determinar la eficacia que tiene un pesticida, el mecanismo de disolución de los pesticidas consiste en que las moléculas que conforman el ingrediente activo del mismo, vayan reduciendo su tamaño hasta diluirse por completo a través del proceso denominado hidrolisis, el pH, la alcalinidad y la turbidez son los principales parámetros que influyen directamente en la efectividad de los pesticidas, esto debido a que en el caso del pH reduce el tiempo de vida útil de la mezcla, mientras que la alcalinidad hace que los hidroxilos degeneren significativamente la eficacia del ingrediente activo del pesticida, y la turbidez en el agua hace que las partículas que vienen suspendidas se enlacen con el pesticida en sí, haciendo que no sean aptos para que la planta los asimile, por esto se recomienda realizar análisis del agua previo a acentuar el cultivo en la zona que se escogió, conocer cómo funciona el mecanismo de disolución del pesticida y utilizar coadyuvantes, reguladores de pH, y otras herramientas que ayuden a que la eficacia del producto sea mayor, cuando el agua no cumple con los estándares requeridos.
