Abstract
Pesticides are generally applied in the form of a formulated product which, after dilution with water, gives a spray solution. Although the active material must guarantee the biological activity, other constituents are needed to bring this pesticide in a form suitable for application. Such so-called formulation additives and/or adjuvants are very diverse, but solvents, surfactants, and oils are most frequently used.
