COMMENTS ON THE 2016 COMPENDIUMThis 2016 Compendium of Herbicide Adjuvants is the 13th edition of the biennialpublication and contains 779 entries from 38 companies. The first edition of theCompendium was assembled in 1992 and contained 76 entries from 22 companies.What accounts for such growth in the adjuvant products we list? There are acombination of factors. First, foliar herbicide applications continue to be important.Second, growers need to optimize herbicide efficacy to discourage herbicideresistance. Third, there have been great advancements and innovations in herbicideadjuvant chemistry. Fourth, many adjuvants combine multiple adjuvant groupsblended into a single product for greater functionality. Finally, growers are betterinformed about adjuvants and the value they provide.While the Compendium of Herbicide Adjuvants is published every two years,the associated website is updated more frequently. This Compendium organizesadjuvant products by type (such as nonionic surfactants, crop oil concentrates,etc.). And each listing includes the product name, manufacturer/distributor,principal functioning agents, use rates, and comments.Most listings do not include percent “active ingredient” since an industry-widestandard has not been established for the composition of these materials. However,the Council of Producers & Distributors of Agrotechnology (CPDA) has developeda voluntary certification program that requires adjuvant products to meet 17separate benchmarks for adjuvant composition. For more information aboutCPDA and a list of certified products, see page 63.The information in this Compendium is for educational purposes only and arebased on descriptions provided by product manufacturers and/or distributors.We do not charge to list any adjuvant product in this Compendium. Any omissionof commercial products is unintentional.

ADJUVANTCATEGORIESA Brief ExplanationIn this Compendium, we list adjuvant products by adjuvanttype (as provided by the manufacturer or distributor/retailer).Herbicide labels will recommend adjuvant products usingtypes similar to the adjuvants provided in the Compendium.In this printed guide, products that have multiple functions may be cross-listed in up to three adjuvant categories.Entries in the online version of the Compendium may list upto four adjuvant categories. The first adjuvant category listedis considered the primary adjuvant category for the product.High surfactant oil concentrates (HSOC) have been oneof the largest areas for growth in herbicide adjuvants. Theseproducts are composed of both oil and surfactant chemistryto suit herbicides or herbicide combinations that may benefitfrom both nonionic surfactant (NIS) and crop oil concentrate(COC) or modified seed oil (MSO) adjuvant products. Bydefinition, however, HSOC products are chemically differentfrom COC or MSO products, so they are not cross-listed inthe tables.i
