Some products irreversibly degrade in alkaline conditions (pH
>7) and lose activity. Acidification agent adjust the pH from
alkaline to acid which stops alkaline hydrolisis : - Product
stability is maintained (especially if spraying is delayed) -
Spraying efficiency is improved. The agrochemical keeps its
complete efficiency ! Compatibility agents improve the quality
of a tank mix. It facilitates the miscibility of all the
components in the tank. Reducing Drift improves spraying
quality. The finest droplets (< 100 µm) can be dispersed into
the atmosphere with negative consequences to product efficacy
and neighbouring crops. The biggest droplets run off and fall
onto the ground. An anti-drift adjuvant : - Reduces the amount
of driftable droplets. This reduces the off-target emissions
into the environment. Humectants help to maintain the spray
droplet in a moist form on the target surface. This process : -
minimises active ingredients crystallization - and thereby
maximises uptake and penetration.
