In this work, a nonionic hyperbranched surfactant was rationally designed to simultaneously regulate droplet deposition, diffusion\u2010wetting, and retention on hydrophobic plant surfaces, thereby improving pesticide utilization. Specifically, a terminal alkene\u2010functionalized hyperbranched PEG\u2010PPG copolymer was synthesized via in situ RAFT polymerization and further grafted with amino\u2010functionalized fluorinated hydrocarbons through Michael addition. The resulting surfactant effectively suppressed droplet bouncing, enhanced spreading, and delayed evaporation. Among the synthesized variants, HB\u2010M\u2010F1 exhibited the best interfacial regulation performance. As a tank\u2010mix adjuvant for glyphosate isopropylammonium (41% AS), only 0.1\u2009wt% HB\u2010M\u2010F1 significantly improved herbicidal efficacy, increasing the inhibition rate and mortality of\n                    <jats:italic>Echinochloa crus\u2010galli<\/jats:italic>\n                    from 98.00% and 81.25% to 99.70% and 93.75%, respectively, and those of\n                    <jats:italic>Portulaca oleracea<\/jats:italic>\n                    from 88.76% and 62.50% to 90.63% and 75.00%.
