What is an adjuvant in terms of pesticide formulation?

A primary active ingredient in pesticide formulations.
A type of equipment used for applying pesticides.
A chemical added to improve performance and safety of pesticides.
A natural predator of common pests.

The correct answer is: A chemical added to improve performance and safety of pesticides.

An adjuvant is a chemical added to pesticide formulations to enhance their performance and safety. Options A and B do not accurately describe the role of an adjuvant in pesticide formulations, as the primary active ingredient is typically a pesticide itself and adjuvants are not equipment used for applying pesticides. Option D may seem like a possible answer, but it does not pertain to the formulation of the pesticide itself.
