Increasing need for green adjuvants

Most adjuvants that are added in crop protection chemicals are derived from petroleum or other chemical sources. The surplus use of these chemically derived adjuvants in pesticide affects the environment and human health. For example, nonylphenol ethoxylate, a wetting and dispersing agent, is still used in some agrochemical applications. This surfactant causes endocrine toxicity in animals and is also toxic to aquatic organisms. Hence, government authorities and adjuvant manufacturers have been shifting their focus on renewable and sustainable products. This trend will lead to high demand for naturally derived products that pose a negligible threat to the environment as compared to conventional petroleum-derived products that are toxic in nature and can lead to bioaccumulation within the ecosystem.

In recent years, the demand for bio-based adjuvants such as methylated seed oil (MSO), modified vegetable oils, and organo-modified siloxanes has been growing. These biologically derived adjuvants are considered eco-friendly due to their high level of safety and biodegradability. The rising awareness among consumers for the use of renewable and natural ingredients boosts the demand for bio-based adjuvants and the development of greener solutions for various applications such as agriculture, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. The manufacturers are, therefore, keen to adapt to this changing trend of utilizing green adjuvants in their products. Also, there are few players such as Wilbur-Ellis Holdings, Inc. (US) and Precision Laboratories, LLC (US) that offer products containing methylated seed oil.

Adjuvants for biological products

Adjuvants are mostly added to synthetic pesticides to improve their performance. However, these adjuvants undergo strict regulations and require high investment for production. Hence, there is a need to develop adjuvants that can be used in biological products such as biopesticides and biostimulants.

Adjuvant manufacturing companies are constantly adapting to the changing demands by developing novel products and technologies. With the increasing awareness of eco-friendly and sustainable products, the necessity to develop adjuvants that can be compatible with biological products has been increasingly realized. Sustainable and non-oil adjuvants are required to maintain the viability and pesticidal efficiency of agricultural biologicals such as biostimulants and biofertilizers.
