Many new glyphosate mixtures in the pipeline
The number of glyphosate-resistant weeds increases steadily. Formulators prepare mixtures of glyphosate with other herbicides to help solve this ever-increasing problem. A five years spanning patent scan by Adjuvants & Formulations yields various interesting and also curious solutions. Picture by Bob Hartzler, Iowa State University.


Patents in brief
Indian formulators seek patent protection for compositions containing the water-soluble active ingredient glufosinate-ammonium and a water-insoluble organosilicon surfactant. Adjuvants & Formulations also reports about new formulations for dinotefuran and bentazone and a mixture of glyphosate and diquat dibromide. In this issue also news about oil-rich thidiazuron formulations, zinc foliar fertilisers that are compatible with glyphosate, about a new spreader-sticker and about the partly replacement of a high-performing nonionic surfactant by an alkyl polyglucoside adjuvant.
