Foliar uptake of agrochemicals and its interaction with adjuvants

The performance of many foliar-applied agrochemicals depends on the retention of the spray solution by the foliage and the uptake of the chemicals into the leaves. Both factors can be improved by addition of adjuvants. Scientists found several principles that govern the interactions of adjuvants with foliar uptake. Adjuvants & Formulations provides the readers with governing principles and insights.

Encapsulation extends activity of biostimulant

The biostimulant menadione sodium bisulfite can increase drought tolerance of crops. However, repeated treatment is needed to maintain this effect. Encapsulation of the biostimulant increases drought tolerance and delays the need for retreatment. Adjuvants & Formulations summarizes briefly the results of this Portuguese study.

More news in this issue:

  • Natural product-based crop protection compounds - origins and future prospects
  • Disulfide herbicides: polymeric nanoparticle formulation and cyclodextrin complexation
  • A dsRNA delivery system based on rosin-modified polyethylene glycol and chitosan
  • Construction of deposit patterns
  • Vegetable oil as co-formulant and adjuvant for wild tomato extracts
  • A review on losses and transformation mechanisms of common antioxidants

 

Patents in brief

Antioxidants can prevent a decompressed state in a resin container filled with an OD composition and thus prevent deformation of the container. Ishihara Sangyo Kaisha seeks patent protection for this use of antioxidants.

Adjuvants & Formulations also reports about activities of other companies as well as universities, such as:

  • Hydrophobic actives close together
  • Stable SE formulation for two solid ingredients with different solubility in a third liquid ingredient
  • Overview of recent patent publications with brief summary
