Adjuvant science: providers and consumers
Over
the recent decades the production, marketing and application of
adjuvants for agriculture are grown up and entered a more mature stage.
Nevertheless, people find it difficult to make the right choices for
adjuvant application. In that situation, there is a continuous interest
in science-based and understandable information. Adjuvants & Formulations describes the providers and consumers of adjuvant science and how they interact. | |

Spray hoods reduce spray drift
Spray
hoods combined with proper nozzle selection and the use of a drift
control agents can substantially reduce spray drift potential during
pesticide applications. Adjuvants &
Formulations presents findings of a study into the effectiveness of
spray hoods in reducing pesticide drift of spray solutions from nozzles
typically used for herbicide applications in row crops with tolerance to
dicamba or 2,4-D.

Patents in brief
Dispersible
concentrate (DC) formulations have a water-insoluble or partially
water-soluble active ingredient in the form of small crystals in a
water-soluble solvent. The active ingredient is intended to crystallise
upon dilution in the spray solution. The crystals must remain small,
otherwise the spray solution is not stable. Addition of crystallisation
inhibitors helps the formation of small crystals, while reducing the
risk of significant crystal growth over time. Several companies have
recently introduced pesticides formulated as dispersible concentrate.
Adjuvants & Formulations also reports about activities of other companies as well as universities, such as:
- Alkyl polyglycerylamine surfactants
- Weak acids plus their salts reduce isomeric transformation of lambda-cyhalothrin
- Stable clethodim compositions
- Pyrethroid ZC formulations
- Overview of recent patent publications with brief summary
