Similarly, the addition reaction that follows the markownikoff rule is referred to as the markownikoff addition. The main difference between markovnikov and anti markovnikov rule is that markovnikov rule indicates that hydrogen atoms in an addition reaction are attached to the carbon atom with more hydrogen substituents whereas anti markovnikov rule indicates that.
