Guidelines for future generations of active ingredients
How do developers of active ingredients think about the most appropriate physicochemical properties to attain well defined pesticide activities? Two research teams published just recently papers on guidelines for the design of new generations of active ingredients. Adjuvants & Formulations summarises their findings with a focus on pesticides applied to the foliage.


Patents in brief
Russian formulators seek patent protection for micelle-forming auxinic herbicide formulations. Adjuvants & Formulations also reports about new formulations for imazamox, a mixture of prosulfocarb plus trifluralin, the insecticides dinotefuran and cyclaniliprole, a mixture of the oomycete controlling fungicides valifenalate, cymoxanil and mancozeb and the nematicide fluensulfone. Other recently filed patents cover formulations that disperse well in cold and hard water and a new class of alcohol alkoxylate adjuvants.


Editorial: What is going on with the western agchem scientific community?
The yearly number of original Chinese research papers on new formulations increases steadily and the number of original research papers in the western journals written by western scientists decreases. What is happening?
