Technical certification advances among agricultural adjuvants

The Spraying Adjuvants program ends 2025 consolidated as a technical initiative aimed at evaluating the functionality of agricultural inputs in Brazil. Throughout the year, more than 100 products were certified, coming from about 60 companies operating in the country, which submitted agricultural adjuvants to analyses in a specialized laboratory located in Jundiaí, in the interior of São Paulo. Among the advances recorded in 2025 is the sharing, with the participating companies, of proprietary tables for interpreting laboratory results, developed from an exclusive database of the project. The program also began to use specific parameters for adjuvants, associated with properties such as surface tension, spreading, and drift, which allowed the evolution of the classification system of the evaluated products. Developed for more than twenty years by the Center for Engineering and Automation of the Agronomic Institute, with private resources, the program operates in a segment that ...
