“…Utility adjuvants, also known as spray modifiers, alter herbicide dynamics (physical and chemical characteristics of spray mix) to improve application efficiency and provide adequate weed control [ 95 ]. They also alter the herbicide’s formulation to cover plant surfaces evenly, keeping it in contact with plant tissues without runoff [ 99 ]. Adding an appropriate adjuvant can reduce the herbicide application and minimize the costs for weed control [ 100 ].…”

Florida is the top producer of fresh market tomatoes in the U.S., with an average production of 0.4 million metric tons. Tomatoes are commercially grown on plastic mulched raised beds in Southwest Florida, the primary production region in the state. Low tomato yield in plasticulture production is often associated with the poor control of nutsedge species. Nutsedge management, therefore, remains a critical production challenge for tomato growers in Florida. Sandy soil in this region promotes herbicide movement after heavy rainfall or irrigation, affecting weed suppression. This will also potentially impact the timely establishment of new tomato transplants and, consequently, the crop vigor if the herbicides get into the root zone. This review aims to present and discuss an overview of available options to safely manage major weeds of tomatoes, including nutsedge species, in plasticulture production. In addition, this review seeks to discuss an approach for utilizing herbicide adjuvants, such as spray deposition agents or oil binding agents, to improve herbicides’ efficacy and tomato crop safety by enhancing their retention in plastic mulched raised beds.
