    Adjuvants

    Adjuvants are products which are applied as a tank mix with plant protection products and which improve, for example, wetting or the adhesion of plant protection products, or which prevent foaming.

    Adjuvants are defined in Commission Regulation (EC) No. 1107/2009 Article 2 (3) d, as substances or preparations which includes co-formulants or preparations with one or more co-formulant(s), and in the form in which they are delivered to the user and placed on the market with the purpose of being mixed by the user with a plant protection product in order to increase its impact or other pesticidal properties. Its impact is not to be interpreted in the sense of that of a safener/synergist.
