ISAA 2016 highlights trends in adjuvants and formulations
Adjuvants
can significantly improve the performance of crop protection products.
Farmers and formulators enhance the efficacy of sprays by using these
products as tank-mix or in-can. The science behind these additives and
their smart application are the subjects of a five-day symposium in
Monterey, California (USA). From June 13 to June 17, specialists from
research and industry will share here the latest trends and developments
in this rapidly changing field.

A peachy defence system for seeds
Swiss
researchers have developed a grain coating that mimicks the
feeding-triggered release of hydrogen cyanide found for example in
bitter almonds. The defence system proved effective against larvae of
mealworm, Indian mealmoth and lesser grain borer, but not against wheat
weevil.

Patents in brief

researchers seek patent protection for a formulation of the
biostimulants salicylic acid and acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin).

with penetration enhancer for tree injection. Adjuvants & Formulations also reports about patent pending defoamers, and other adjuvants that are applicable as built-in adjuvant, as tank-mix adjuvant or both, including a microfibrillar cellulose adjuvant.
