Discussion

Marie Wilson Apr 19, 2017:
@Neil Yes, I guessed the words but that was as far as I got as it's not a subject I know anything about. Your word order is more likely.
neilmac Apr 19, 2017:
@Marie According to normal Spanish syntax/word order, I think it should be "adjuvant carriers", unless the source text is influenced by English, which wouldn't be unusual. Your suggestion "carrier adjuvant" gets several thousand more hits, but I think that maybe because it's often used hyphenated, because "carrier/adjuvant" are often synonyms to all intents and purposes, at least as I see it.
Erick Forero (asker) Apr 19, 2017:
PORTADORES (no "Productores") ¡Disculpen! La pregunta es PORTADORES Coadyuvantes.
Marie Wilson Apr 19, 2017:
Productores or portadores? The term in the title doesn't match the term in the text. If it's "portadores coadyuvantes", carrier adjuvant?

penetrant adjuvants

En el grupo de los activadores se encuentran los productos HIPOTENSORES (wetter-spreader), los adherentes (stickers), y los PORTADORES (penetration agents). En el segundo grupo, los utilitarios, están los acondicionadores de aguas, los agentes reguladores de pH, los agentes compatibilizantes, los reductores de deriva (spray drift reduction), los anties-pumantes, entre otros (McMullan, 2000).

Los coadyuvantes con base en aceites minerales o vegetales (PORTADORES), también clasificados como activadores, que tienen un efecto físicoquímico de protección sobre el ingrediente activo (i.a.) del agroquímico, al formar una emulsión aceite en agua, que aisla los componentes lipofílicos (aceites y compuestos orgánicos, entre ellos los i.a.) de los componentes hidrofílicos (agua, sales, sustancias inorgánicas), evitando el posible efecto deletéreo del agua sobre el i.a. del agroquímico. De otro lado, los portadores mejoran la penetración del ingrediente activo en el objetivo, por efecto de afinidad lipofílica entre el vehículo de la aspersión (aceite de la emulsión) y las sustancias cerosas de las cutículas de las plantas, insectos u hongos (Devine et al.1993, Underwood, 2000).

MODO DE ACCIÓN

La exclusiva formula de PORTADOR SYS posee agentes de actividad superficial que permite un mejor cubrimiento y uniformidad de la aspersión y una mayor retención y absorción del agroquímico en el objetivo. PORTADOR SYS contiene sustancias lipofílicas que mejoran la afinidad química entre el ingrediente activo y las superficies cerosas (p.e. cutículas de plantas e insectos) de los objetivos. Mediante la formación de emulsiones estables de pequeñas gotas de aceite y agroquímico dispersas en el agua, PORTADOR SYS protege el ingrediente activo de las condiciones adversas de la aplicación y del ambiente.

THE latest plant growth regulators are more effective with penetrant adjuvant Li-700, says manufacturer Newman Agrochemical.

Penetrant

A penetrant adjuvant (Scuba) can be added to aid the product to get through any thatch or fibrous material.

Increase cuticle penetration. Crop oil concentrates (COC) and vegetable oils (methylated seed oil, MSO) fall into the category of penetrants. This type of surfactant can improve cuticular penetration by softening, plasticizing, or dissolving cuticular waxes and allowing herbicide movement to the more hydrophilic regions underneath. Penetrant adjuvants are often a complex mixture of surfactant and oil (paraffinic petroleum or modified vegetable).

Other Adjuvants

Penetrants dissolve or penetrate waxy layers on leaves and allow other chemicals to interface with plant cells or insect epidermal tissue and enter the spaces between the epidermal cells, sometimes called “cell free space.” Penetrants can contain petroleum by-products, crop oils, complex alcohols, and other hydrocarbon-based materials. They work well under very specific conditions and with very specific crops grown outdoors. In the greenhouse, stand-alone products are rare.

Penetrants.

Intracrop products contain some of the most technologically advanced penetrants available, enabling them to take active ingredients through the protective layers and barriers in a plant to where they can perform their role effectively. These advance penetrants can achieve this in a way that is safe to the crop.

A pesticide adjuvant is broadly defined as any substance added to the spray tank, separate from the pesticide formulation, that will improve the performance of the pesticide. This can include everything from wetter-spreaders to feeding stimulants. This is the range of functions covered by regulations in states that require registration of agricultural adjuvants. Washington and Idaho do require registration of adjuvants. Oregon does not. Oregon does require registration of agricultural amendments (sometimes called soil amendments, or substances that modify soil to promote plant growth). Sometimes adjuvants are more narrowly defined as a substance added to a pesticide mixture to improve its physical qualities and hence its effectiveness. This still includes wetter-spreaders, stickers, penetrants, compatibility agents, and so on.

adjuvants

Creo que se refiere a "productos" (no productores) coadyuvantes. Los coadyuvantes ayudan a mejorar la efectividad o eficiencia de aplicación de herbicidas, insecticidas, funguicidas, fertilizantes foliares, hormonas, etc.

Adjuvant carriers

Another option could be vehicles:
"Different T helper cell subsets elicited in mice utilizing two different adjuvant vehicles: ..."

I parse it thus:
PORTADORES = Carriers
DE LOS COADYUVANTES (= of the adjuvants)
QED :)

FWIW, a Google search for "adjuvant carriers" gets 2,370 results ... and "adjuvant vehicles" gets 2,840 results.

On the other hand, perhaps I've got the wrong end of the stick and should pass it thus:
COADYUVANTES (adjuvants)
which are
PORTADORES (carriers)... In which case, "carrier adjuvants" would be the solution, as suggested by Marie in the Discussion.

PS: I just ran a Google search for "adjuvant carrier" and got 28,700 hits, which is slightly more convincing :-)
Example sentence:

Herein, we will present the adjuvant carriers that are used in commercial vaccines and the carriers that are being used in the development of fungal vaccines.

Oils are sometimes used alone as contact herbicides and in other situations as adjuvant carriers for synthetic herbicides.

Going squinty-eyed on this one... I need a break :)
agree Wendy Streitparth : Just for the books, I get 4,790 ghits for adjuvant carrier. Why's that?

I just googled "adjuvant carrier" again and got 28,700 results, so it looks like I must've misread it the first time round...
