Abstract
Adjuvants for systemic fungicides in the form of a stable microemulsion comprise water, a mixture of methyl esters of fatty acids obtained by the transesterification of vegetable oils, an anionic surface-active agent, at least one non-ionic surface-active agent with an HLB of between 13-18 and a cloud point of >65.degree. and at least one non-ionic surface-active agent with an HLB of between 10 and 12. These adjuvants, which can additionally contain conventional components and/or formulation additives, improve the activity of systemic fungicides belonging to different chemical groups.
