New products and formulations at ASTM 2018
The
American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) has held its
symposium on Pesticide Formulation and Delivery Systems. Adjuvants &
Formulations presents the best bits of the ”Innovative Formulation
Application and Adjuvant Technologies for Agriculture” titled meeting.

Editorial: “Renewable” surfactants and conventional surfactants
When
looking further than just the use of trendy wording like “green” and
“from renewable resources” it seems that alone a holistic approach is
useful for the future of surfactants (and solvents). Holistic in the
sense that all aspects like the source of materials, energy consumption,
carbon dioxide emission (...) and not to forget the product performance
have to be weighted. I think that this is possible.

Patents in brief
Monsanto has applied for patent protection of a dicamba salt that counteracts the volatility-enhancing
effect of ammonium sulphate and active ingredients such as ammonium-
and organic amine-based forms of glyphosate and glufosinate. Adjuvants & Formulations also reports about encapsulated glyphosate, new polyphenolmethyl surfactants that are better biodegradable, surfactants for glufosinate (and glyphosate), new solvents and new polymorphs of mesotrione copper chelate. In this issue also news about a nitrification inhibitor formulation for anhydrous ammonia or UAN, about a stabilizer for seed coating formulations and a titanium-based biostimulant.
