- Title
ROLE OF ADJUVANTS ON HERBICIDE BEHAVIOR: A REVIEW OF DIFFERENT EXPERIENCES.
- Authors
Pacanoski, Zvonko
- Abstract
Adjuvants are any substance either in a herbicide formulation or added to the spray tank, that modifies herbicidal activity or application characteristics. The interactions between herbicide formulations and adjuvants, however, are not simple and depend on factors which include crop/weed leaf surface, droplet characteristics, adjuvant type, chemical form of the herbicide and environmental conditions. Understanding the complexity of these interactions is essential for herbicide optimum utilization, particularly in prolonging, enhancing and improving the efficacy, reduction of the critical rain-free period, minimizes herbicide leaching into groundwater and decrease harmful affects to non-target plants and animals.
