TWEEN 20 recommended as surfactant for foliar fertilization is sometimes not easily available to the farmers. Can they alternatively, use any non-ionic universal surfactant (for instance, sticker solution provided with herbicides such as metsulfuron methyl 20% DUPONT INC.) to increase the penetrating power of foliar spray of fertilizer?

Using of surfaction for herbicide performance depend to herbicide type and weed species. It must clear to you want for each herbicide.

TWEEN 20 has some detergent-like activity. Although, it also used as a surfactant.
What type of surfactant is going to be used depends on the active ingredient of herbicide, weed type, sprayer quality.
