AB  - Within the framework of the VEGEPHY project set up to assess the effect of 
      refined oils used as extemporaneous additives, both alone and in combination with 
      oligosaccharides (guar, xanthan and carboxymethyl cellulose), on the quality of 
      plant protection treatments for wheat, a study was conducted on the effect of 
      combinations of additives on the level of pesticide residues in wheat plants and 
      grain and their impact on treatment efficiency. The use of some of these 
      additives gave efficiency results that were comparable with those obtained with 
      additives that are currently used but are not bio-based. The use of refined oils 
      as extemporaneous additives, both alone and combined with oligosaccharides, led 
      to better penetration by the pesticide as well as longer persistence of its 
      activity. The experiments were conducted with fungicides, herbicides, plant 
      growth regulators and various types of formulation (EC, SC and WG). The results 
      obtained were conclusive, but they did depend on the physico-chemical properties 
      of the active substance. The risk of exceeding the maximum residue levels (MRLs) 
      of pesticides was also evaluated. Even where the MRLs had not been not exceeded, 
      the experiments showed that in some cases the treatment with these additives 
      could lead to pesticide residues up to two times higher than those measured for 
      the treatment without additives. It would be necessary, therefore, to reduce the 
      treatment dose associated with the additive and/or have a long enough pre-harvest 
      interval to avoid exceeding the MRLs. The use of green additives could be a 
      useful and easy way to attain the European Union (EU) goal of reducing pesticide 
      use by improving the retention of active substances on the plant and reducing the 
      number of treatments.
