Adjuvants are inorganic or organic chemicals, macromolecules or entire cells of some killed bacteria which helps to increase immune power and also used as antibodies. They may included in a vaccine to increase the immune power of recipient's immune response. Adjuvants are also used in the production of antibodies. Aluminum hydroxide and paraffin oil are the most commonly used elements included in most of the adjuvant.

- Nonbacterial organics: squalene, thimorsal
- Cytokines : IL-1, IL-2, IL-12
- Delivery Systems: detergents
- Combination : Freund's complete adjuvants,Freund's incomplete adjuvant.
As adjuvants are inorganic or organic chemicals, they are also used in agricultural industry to enhance the production. Agricultural spray adjuvants are used with pesticides in order to increase the impact of the pesticides such as herbicides, insecticides, fungicides and other factors which controls unwanted pests. As the agricultural spray adjuvant are not themselves active in controlling or killing paste they use some property of the spray to improve the ability of pesticides and protect the target organisms. Adjuvant include surfactants, compatibility agents, anti foaming agents, spray colorants such as dyes and drift control agents. Adjuvants can be added to the agrichemical product at the time it is formulated by the manufacturer or by the applicator to the spray mix just prior to the treatment. Adjuvants used for numerous different reasons. it can potentially increase the efficacy of the pesticides being applied or reduce target implications.
According to market research report the industry in increasing rapidly due to agrochemicals. Adjuvants are also helps to revolutionizing this business of agrochemicals as a best tool for farmers to improve applications and achieve more cost effective and better targeted and environmentally acceptable pest control. Adjuvants are primarily used along with herbicides, fungicides, insecticides, and fertilizers. So we can see a remarkable demand from various parts of the world such as Italy, U.S, France, Germany, Australia, Brazil, Canada, and India etc.
