Stimulating and eye-catching presentations at ISAA 2016
Monterey in California, USA hosted the 11th
International Symposium on Adjuvants for Agrochemicals in June 2016.
Almost all aspects of adjuvant applications and adjuvant developments
were covered and presented to a record number of 521 attendants. Far out
most attendants came from the USA, followed by South America and
Western Europe. At the ISAA 2016 Trade Exhibition several companies
presented their products and services. Adjuvants & Formulations highlights some of the presentations at ISAA2016. Picture: Solito Sumulong, ISAA 2016.
The
ISAA 2016 Proceedings provide the full papers and the posters
presented. A hard copy and/or a digital version can be ordered via the ISAA Society website.

Wolf spider catches fewer preys upon contact with surfactants
Czech
researchers have found in an laboratory experiment that surfactants can
reduce prey capture in wolf spider. The study is one of the first
showing that adjuvants can have sublethal effects that can weaken the
predatory activity of biological control agents. Picture: Vladimír Hula,
Mendel University in Brno.

Little leaching of trisiloxane adjuvants
Trisiloxane
adjuvants are little leaching-susceptible. Their transformation
products, however, are more polar and may be more mobile in soil and
could leach into groundwater. More about this research in the May/June
2016 issue of Adjuvants & Formulations.

Patents in brief
Adjuvants &
Formulations has found interesting new agrochemical adjuvants during
its bimonthly examination of the thousands of freshly published patent
applications: novel organosilicon adjuvants, water conditioners that do not enhance herbicide volatility and additives that reduce eye irritancy
of active ingredients and emulsifiers. News items about these adjuvants
are interspersed with news about patent pending pesticide formulations.

Apps: Side Effects
An
adjuvant selector or an application tool – app stores have dozens of
useful and interesting applications for mobile devices. In this issue
the Side Effects
app, an application that can be used to check the compatibility of
pesticides on beneficial organisms that are used in agriculture and
horticulture, for biological crop protection and natural pollination.
