Influence of Physicochemical Properties on Uptake and Loss of Pesticides and Adjuvants from the Leaf Surface

  • Conference paper
Book cover Interactions Between Adjuvants, Agrochemicals and Target Organisms

Part of the book series: Ernst Schering Research Foundation Workshop ((SCHERING FOUND,volume 12))

Abstract

The literature on the effects of adjuvants on the uptake of chemicals by plants, insects, isolated cells, micro-organisms and skin is very complex. The physical properties of both the active ingredient and the adjuvant clearly play a part, although its exact nature is generally far from clear.
