What is the purpose of adding adjuvants to a pesticide mixture?

The purpose of adding adjuvants to a pesticide mixture is primarily to enhance the effectiveness of the pesticide. Adjuvants are substances that are added to a pesticide formulation to improve its performance in various ways. They can increase the coverage and adherence of the pesticide to the target surface, enhance the absorption of the active ingredient, or improve the pesticide's stability and compatibility with other components in the mixture.

By improving the overall effectiveness, adjuvants can help ensure that the pesticide achieves its intended effect on the pest. This can lead to better pest control, reduced pesticide usage, and ultimately, more efficient pest management practices.
