Optimized delivery of the active ingredient to the target plant surfaces is getting increasingly important for our industry. With the trend for lower water volumes used for spray application this delivery process becomes even more complex. Such product requirements necessitate formulators to exploit the technologies which are available when designing new products. Adjuvants certainly are an important technology which have an impact on numerous physical processes involved in the spray application event which if used wisely can positively affect the active ingredient delivery to the target surface. Using adjuvants �wisely� also means to understand the various mode of action(s) of them as they impact multiple physical processes in the same time and in either direction. This paper gives examples of adjuvants and the impact they have on the numerous physical processes involved in the delivery of the product from the spray tank to the target.
