... span (RS) were calculated for TTI 11003 (Spraying Systems Co.) spraying tank mixtures of dicamba and glyphosate: 2.0 L c.p./ha of a formulation of dicamba diglycolamine salt (480 g a.e./L) and 3.0 L c.p./ha of a formulation of glyphosate potassium salt (480 g a.e./L). Four spray solutions were prepared...

... and to process into stable forms for production and distribution into agricultural channels. This paper focuses on some of the ways in which NewLeaf Symbiotics has utilized a deep expertise in PPFMs to successfully manufacture and apply them. It details some ways in which formulations can enable the successful...

... Clays are used in commercial biological formulations for agricultural purposes. There are different types of clays, each of which has its own unique properties. As a class, clays have several useful properties that can be exploited. The most common formulation uses are as a diluent, carrier...

... Formulating lubricants can provide various challenges. Usually, lubricants are first and foremost formulated to reduce friction and wear in moving equipment. Next, they are formulated to coat and protect metal parts against rust and corrosion. Finally, they are formulated to resist heat...

... Alkyl naphthalene sulfonate condensates, lignosulfonates, block copolymers, and alkoxylated polyarylphenol derivatives are used as dispersants in pesticide suspension concentrate (SC) and suspoemulsion formulations. Typically, a pesticide formulation could contain either type of dispersant...

... IPM using biological, chemical, and cultural practices. In this paper, we explore the success and continued challenges of developing delivery systems (including formulations) that improve the regulatory profile, expand the performance, minimize off-target effects, and create positive supply-side...

... weight data indicate that HM 9121-A performs somewhat better than HM9110. fluorescence imaging fluorescence imaging glyphosate adjuvant formulation surfactant Journal of ASTM International, Vol. 4, No. 9 Paper ID JAI100880 Available online at www.astm.org H. de Ruiter,1 B. Mack,2 R. van...

... of their adjuvant and herbicide formulations. These studies show significant differences in the biological activity of several herbicides when the pH is increased and decreased with a range of surfactant types. These results support the concept that the physicochemical properties of the herbicide and adjuvant...

... Clethodim is a non-residual, foliar-applied herbicide that controls grass weeds in many major and minor crops in the United States. Grass control was evaluated in field trials conducted in 2003 and 2004 using commercial clethodim formulations of Select (240 g/L), Arrow (240 g/L), and Prism (113...

... in the formulation concentrate. It has been found recently that ethylenediamine alkoxylates can be used as effective adjuvants in glyphosate formulations. Specifically, they can be used in blended adjuvants for several functions. They allow a higher glyphosate loading over that provided by tallowamine ethoxylates...

... Today's formulator of agricultural products is barraged with a host of increasing challenges. They are faced with the need to develop more profitable differentiated products in shorter product cycles with fewer resources, and in the face of increasingly crowded patent landscapes and shifting...

... When developing a granular pesticide formulation, the choice of an appropriate particle size is crucial. Particle size may or may not affect the desired performance parameters. Some of the properties to consider are sorptivity, bulk density, particle count per unit weight, hardness, drift...

... Several herbicides reduce, directly or indirectly, the efficiency of photosynthesis of plants. As a consequence, the fluorescence of the chlorophyll increases. The relative increase of fluorescence [(F m -F o )/F m ] can be used to compare the influence of formulations and adjuvants...

... rapid discovery to commercialization timelines on record. Formulation efforts are described along with how the commercialization of this non-selective herbicide changed Monsanto from a midwestern row crop company to a global multinational company. The marketing of glyphosate is summarized in four stages...

... Concentrated emulsion (EW) formulations containing iso-octyl 2,4-dichlorophenoxy acetate (2,4-D IOE) were prepared with alkylether citrate (AEC) surfactants and evaluated in greenhouse tests. The results demonstrate that 2,4-D EW formulations deliver equal or better weed control when compared...

... The traditional approach used by formulators of agricultural and pesticide formulations relies heavily on experience, and has been quite valuable in generating acceptable formulations that may or may not be at a global optimum. However, it can be time consuming, and it generally lacks...

... In granular formulations, the formulator often wishes to spray a small amount of an active ingredient onto a granule. An accurate amount and uniform distribution are the key to product performance in the field. Once product is formulated, the QC lab can provide information on average active...

... surfactants are currently formulated only as liquid products. In recent years, many pesticide products have been introduced as dry formulations. These formulations have provided growers and applicators with the advantages of reduced exposure, improved storage stability and easier package disposal. Until now...

... of the pesticide formulation known as inert ingredients. Although EPA has considered inert-specific data when reviewing some of the inert ingredients currently accepted for use in pesticides applied to food, it wasn't until the publication of EPA's Inert Strategy that a comprehensive policy regarding...
