SOLUBILITY IN SYSTEMS, INCLUDING CALCIUM CHLORATE, AMMONIUM CITRIC ACID AND MONOETHANOLAMINE SALT OF CITRIC ACID

Abstract

The main factor in growing high-quality crops is the rational use of mineral fertilizers, stimulants, and defoliants. It is worth noting that an agrotechnical event as defoliation plays an important role for the high-quality harvesting of raw cotton in a short time. In the presence of defoliants, cotton leaves effectively improve air circulation among the cotton rows, and in the forward direction, sunlight is detected and yield increase by 1.5- 2.0 c/ha due to accelerated ripening. In the following study, the mutual influence of the components in two water systems has been studied in a wide temperature and concentration range; the formation of a new phase of the compound (С6 Н5 O7 )2 Са3 ∙4H2 O, which is identified by chemical and physical-chemical methods of analysis has been established. The results of the studied systems show the possibility to obtain a liquid defoliant with physiological activity based on calcium chlorate and ammonium citrate, dimonoetanolamine citrate. The method of obtaining a new defoliant will be used in the chemical industry, as well as the obtained defoliants in agricultural cotton growing.
