Organosilicones: from history to present time
Organosilicone
surfactants are applied in agriculture since the 1980s. Their chemical
structure and a quite low surface tension of the surfactant in water
solution result in well wetting of leaves and enable the spray solution
to move into the leaf via stomata. The main producers of the
organosilicones are constantly innovating their organosilicones
portfolio. Adjuvants & Formulations presents an overview of what has been achieved and highlights the recent and ongoing developments. | |

Patents in brief
American
chemists have synthesised ether ketone solvents as alternatives to
aromatic hydrocarbons and other solvents with an less favourable
(eco)toxicological profile. Solvents, dispersants, drift control agents and penetrants are also subjects of other patent applications. Adjuvants &
Formulations also reports about the development of formulations for new
and classical active ingredients, including tetramic acid insecticides,
pyrapropoyne, glyphosate, auxinic herbicides and a strain of a new
biopesticide. | |
