Attract and kill with CO2 and pesticides
Respiring
plant roots release carbon dioxide. In this way they attract soil
dwelling pests like wireworms and western corn rootworm larvae.
Researchers use this knowledge to develop attract and kill formulations
that slowly release carbon dioxide to lure these larvae to an
insecticide.
Adjuvants & Formulations reports about the progress of the research into these compositions.

Patents in brief
Formulators

Adjuvant specialists and formulators seek also patent protection for a new application of high fructose corn syrup as adjuvant, a polymer dispersion plus plasticizer, a safener to increases herbicide stability, new drift control agents and dust-off reduction for seed treatments.
