Is percentage (% w/v or % v/v) or L/ha relevant for defining optimal application rate of adjuvants?
The percentage of adjuvant in the treatment solution determines retention of spray solution by the foliage in case of surface-active adjuvants, determines the influence on the foliar uptake of agrochemicals and determines phytotoxicity of the adjuvants themselves. When using L/ha, the concentration will vary with the application volume (mostly water). We recommend the use of percentage for the application of adjuvants.
