An adjuvant is something that boosts the performance of another substance by changing its characteristics. This can include improved sticking and spreading or being able to penetrate soil plant surface effectively. Adjuvants are used mostly with pesticides but also work well with many liquid fertilizers. By adding a surfactant adjuvant to your spray tank, you can get the same results with fewer chemicals, which reduces your environmental footprint and saves your business money.

SiteOne Landscape Supply has high-quality fertilizer, insecticide and herbicide surfactant adjuvant from the industry’s top manufacturers. Non-ionic surfactants work by reducing water surface tension so the spray covers an area more efficiently. Methylated seed oil surfactant is a common type of non-ionic adjuvant, but there are others, including organosilicon and alcohol ethoxylate.
