Agrochemicals Safety and Efficacy

Agrochemicals: Balancing Safety & Efficacy

Actives, adjuvants and safe handling guidelines for modern agricultural inputs.


Actives & Adjuvants

  • Actives: Herbicides, insecticides, fungicides with targeted modes of action.
  • Adjuvants: Spreaders, stickers, penetrants to improve deposition and uptake.

Formulation Considerations

  • Compatibility: Emulsifiers, solvents, anti-foam, UV stabilizers matched to the active.
  • Drift & Coverage: Control droplet size; build rainfastness; improve leaf wetting.

Stewardship & Safety

  • Wear PPE, follow label rates, avoid off-target impacts.
  • Protect pollinators; respect buffer zones/wind conditions.
  • Dispose of rinsate and containers per local regulations.

Storage & Transport

  • Keep in original containers; segregate oxidizers/acids/bases.
  • Control temperature, humidity and sunlight exposure.
  • Maintain spill kits and SDS access where stored/used.
