Glyphosate can lower pH of low-volatile dicamba formulations below acceptable levels

Recently released low-volatile dicamba formulations require a spray solution pH above 5.0 to reduce the risk of dicamba volatilisation. Glyphosate as mixing partner lowers the pH of the spray solution below 5.0, according to weed scientists at the University of Tennessee. They now discourage the addition of glyphosate to the low-volatile dicamba herbicides Engenia, FeXapan and XtendiMax.

Patents in brief

American formulators seek patent protection for rheology modifiers developed for or usable in agrochemical formulations. Adjuvants & Formulations also reports about new crystal polymorphs of tebuconazole and of an uracil herbicide that has not yet a common name. A recurring theme in the patent literature is the development of new (tank-mix) adjuvants. In this section also news about improved formulations for pinoxaden, a mixture of fluindapyr plus prothioconazole, compositions for high-temperature storage-stable flucetosulfuron and for compounds with a benzoxaborole moiety.

Book reviews and announcements
