Publication number: 20220386596Abstract: This invention relates to a mixture of an alkyl polyglucoside with a (biological performance improving) adjuvant which is a non-ionic surfactant, the mixture improving the biological performance of an agrochemical. The biological performance effect of the alkyl polyglucoside is poorer than the partner adjuvant but the biological performance effect of the mixture is as good as that delivered by a much larger amount of that better, partner adjuvant alone.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 18, 2022Publication date: December 8, 2022Applicant: SYNGENTA PARTICIPATIONS AGInventors: Gordon Alastair BELL, Renaud Louis Benoit PERRIN, Niall Rae THOMSON
