Eye-opening presentations at ASTM symposium
Seed
oils as snail attractants, novel OD formulations and adjuvant-enhanced
spider mite control – that are the eye-catching topics at the ASTM
Symposium on Pesticide Formulation and Delivery Systems in New Orleans.
As usual, adjuvants, formulations and pesticide application are the main
topics of this annual special interest symposium. Adjuvants & Formulations was on spot.

Formulation aid with resistance eliciting effects
Chitosan
is a well-known formulation inert. This natural pesticide carrier and
formulation aid can also induce defense against has all kinds of plant
diseases. This eliciting effect requires only a very low dose of
chitosan. Adjuvants & Formulations presents an insight into this fascinating side-effect of this formulation aid.

Patents in brief
Urea
enhances foliar-applied zinc transport in plants, but not in all cases.
A Canadian fertiliser specialist has developed a zinc sulphate foliar
fertiliser wit appropriate additives that improve the performance of
urea as zinc transport enhancer. In this issue of Adjuvants & Formulations also patent pending clomazone microcapsule formulations, auxin formulations with enhanced residual effect, a seed coating with controlled-release fertiliser, seed coatings with reduced risk to pollinators and a liquid fertiliser compatible bifenthrin formulation.
