Project description
Adjuvants enhance the overall performance of crop protection products by strengthening the efficiency of the active compounds, stabilizing the formulation and reducing the risks for the user and environment. Although djuvants are an important part of formulations, the documentation of their environmental impact (toxicity) is poor. This project studies the environmental impact by means of residue test and bio-sensor tests.
