Micelles agrochemical sprays

The above discussion clearly demonstrates the role of surfactant micelles in the transport of agrochemicals. Since the droplets applied to foliage undergo rapid evaporation, the concentration of the surfactant in the spray deposits can reach very high values, which allow considerable solubilization of the agrochemical. This will certainly enhance transport, as discussed above. Since the life time of a micelle is relatively short, usually less than 1 ms (see Chapter 2), such units break up,...
