ABSTRACT
Traditionally, adjuvants have been added to herbicides to improve coverage, deposition, penetration, etc. Adjuvants are not as commonly recommended for use with insecticides, although most insecticides require adequate coverage and deposition to be effective. Research by Dow AgroSciences in 1997 with adjuvants added to Tracer resulted in improved canopy penetration and number of droplets per sq. cm. In 1998, Helena Chemical Company evaluated the adjuvant Dyne-Amic with Tracer for efficacy on bud/bollworms in cotton. Dyne-Amic provided performance enhancement when applied in sub-optimal conditions (low rate of Tracer).
