Popis: Currently, more than 350 adjuvants are authorized for use in Germany (January 2021) to ensure the full efficacy of plant protection products (PPPs) even under unfavorable conditions. They may be added to the spray solution as wetting agents, adhesives, or water conditioners and are also used in bee-attractive crops like apple or oilseed rape during flowering. However, in contrast to PPPs, adjuvants are not subject to extensive approval testing including risk assessment for pollinators. Little is known about the effects of tank mixtures, especially those with adjuvants.
