Potential of amino acid surfactants in crop protection
Amino
acid surfactants offer prospects as agrochemical adjuvants and in
pesticide formulations. However, they are still rarely used for this
purpose. Adjuvants & Formulations
discusses possible applications of these renewable resources-based
surfactants as formulation ingredient or as adjuvant. | |

Formulating with a chatbot and virtual assistant
“How can I develop an EC (Emulsifiable Concentrate) for abamectin?” Adjuvants &
Formulations posed this specialist question to ChatGPT to know how this
artificial intelligence-driven platform responds. Besides this
reasonable question, also a non-obvious question was presented: whether
it makes sense to formulate glyphosate as an EC. | |

Patents in brief
Hydrolysed
proteins from potato, wheat, or chickpea can be used as dispersants in
suspension concentrates. Hydrolysed protein from potato, hemp, milk and
silk and modified hydrolysed amino acids from potato and wheat can be
used as penetration enhancers in suspension concentrates, according to
two recently published patent applications.
Adjuvants & Formulations also reports about activities of other companies as well as universities, such as:
- Sophorolipids and derivatives as biosurfactants
- Stabilisation of OD formulations using emulsified water droplets and clay
- Acidified garlic essential oil micro-emulsion
- Staged delivery of growth stimulant and herbicide
- New seed treatment compositions
