The smaller, the better?
What
is the true potential of nanotechnology to improve agrochemicals?
Nano-enabled pesticide formulations are becoming more and more
ingenious. Despite the high expectations of these formulations, however,
their added value under field conditions often still has to be proven.
Adjuvants & Formulations provides insight into this rapidly developing research field. | |

News in brief
Agrochemical companies adapt their R&D
strategies to developments in the crop protection market and
requirements of regulatory bodies. A just published study reviews the
consequences for the development of new active ingredients. Adjuvants & Formulations presents the major findings of this study.
More news in this issue:
- Eco-friendly emulsifiers for O/W emulsions.
- Simulating spray droplet impaction outcomes: comparison with experimental data.
- Image analysis of shatter and pinning events on hard-to-wet leaf surfaces by drops containing surfactant. Photograph: Chenopodium album; SURfaPLUS
- The evaporation of surfactant-laden droplets: contact line models.
- Engineering nanocellulose superabsorbent structure by controlling the drying rate.

Apps: Solvent Finder
An
adjuvant selector or an application tool – app stores have dozens of
useful and interesting applications for mobile devices. Some useful apps
are available online as web app. In this issue the web app Solvent
Finder. | |

Patents in brief
Several
companies are seeking patent protection for crystal growth inhibitors
and other formulation aids to improve the storage-stability of
agrochemical formulations. In this issue specific antioxidants that
reduce the risk of prothioconazole-desthio formation in
prothioconazole-containing formulations, specific surfactants and
dispersing agents as crystal growth inhibitors in liquid fungicide
formulations, a stabilising system for pyrazosulfuron-ethyl WP
formulations and a tripartite stabilising system for concentrated
pyroxasulfone SC formulations. A related patent application covers the
finding that OH groups determine the storage-stability of liquid
halosulfuron-methyl compositions.
Adjuvants & Formulations also reports about activities of other companies as well as universities, such as:
- Surfactants for crop oil concentrates
- Acidifier allows tank-mixing of grass herbicides with antagonistic active ingredients
- Pelargonic acid derivative as adjuvant and herbicide
