Adjuvants & Formulations

Bimonthly newsletter for agchem specialists (former Adjuvant Newsletter)

 

January / February 2015

Weaken your resistant weeds and then kill them
Researchers at Monsanto are working on weakening herbicide-resistant weeds and killing them with the same spray solution. The inventors investigated the applicability of this approach and examined a range of various adjuvants to improve the efficacy of this method. Syngenta and other companies also explore the possibilities of this new gene silencing approach. Adjuvants & Formulations presents a state-of-the-art. Picture by Bob Hartzler, Iowa State University


Hydrogel baits offer novel way to manage invasive ants
Hydrogels can effectively deliver pesticide bait to invasive Argentine ants. Entomologists have found that this approach quickly decimated a colony in a plum orchard. Read more in Adjuvants & Formulations. Picture by Tom Campbell, Purdue University
