Searching for adjuvants and formulations that reduce pesticide volatilisation

Considering physical chemical properties of active ingredients and formulation components/adjuvants is quite helpful for the design of volatility reducing formulations and adjuvants. Adjuvants & Formulations shares recent efforts to address this approach.

Deep eutectic solvents can provide more than true solutions

Deep eutectic solvents (DES) can fully dissolve substances, but researchers found that a DES can also result in a polydisperse colloidal system with superior physical and chemical stability. Adjuvants & Formulations summarizes briefly the results of this study.

More news in this issue:

  • A general supramolecular adjuvant for pesticides
  • Nanocarriers based on polysaccharides and bovine serum albumin
  • Plant and insect virus-like particles as delivery vehicles
  • Adjuvants improve efficacy of water-based d-phenothrin formulations against Aedes aegypti
  • How big things get done

 

Patents in brief

Chinese inventors have prepared an imidacloprid formulation that contains 24-epibrassinolide to accelerate the in planta degradation after this active ingredient has done its work. The formulation is a composite nanoparticle that comprises as core material imidacloprid and the 24-epibrassinolide. The wall material provides for a sequential release of both compounds.

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

  • Granule formulation showing sustained release of active ingredient into water
  • Organic acids to improve chemical stability of florylpicoxamid in EC and OD formulations
  • New cyclobutrifluram seed treatment formulations
  • Overview of recent patent publications with brief summary
