ABSTRACT

The Crop Protection Institute of Canada (CPIC) is made up of 38 member companies and eight associate companies that represent manufacturers, users, and formulators — the people in the agrichemical industry in Canada. Food safety with the public is becoming an increasingly important issue. People want to ensure that their food supply is safe, cheap, and of high quality. CPIC is headed in that direction, i.e., advising provincial people, federal people, and government agencies on food safety. Adjuvants to enhance the effect of agrichemicals will gain in favor and expand in use. The idea of adding two or more active ingredients in lower amounts through the use of adjuvants to do the same job as one larger amount of active ingredient obviously has an impact on lessening the environmental load.
