- the effective absorption of the active ingredient by the plant is of particular importance for the effectiveness of an agrotechnical agent. If this uptake takes place via the leaf, it presents itself as a complex transport process in which the active substance mass, for example a herbicide, first has to penetrate into the waxy cuticle of the leaf and then diffuse through the cuticle into the underlying tissues to the actual site of action ,
- auxiliaries it is generally known and agricultural practice to add certain auxiliaries to formulations for improved effectiveness.
- the amounts of active substance in the formulation can be reduced while the activity remains the same, as a result of which costs are minimized and existing legal regulations can be complied with if necessary.

- surface-active substances can act as modifiers and actuators. It is generally assumed that suitable surface-active substances increase the effective contact area of liquids on leaves by reducing the surface tension
- surfactants can dissolve or break up the epicuticular waxes, which facilitates absorption of the active ingredient.
