This STP contains papers presented at the Pesticide Formulations and Application Systems symposium held in November, 1991. The symposium was sponsored by ASTM Committee E-35 on Pesticides and its Subcommittee, E35.22 on Pesticide Formulations and Application Systems.
The purpose of the symposium was to:
- Provide a forum for exchange of ideas and data among chemists and engineers working to improve the efficiency of pesticide use.
- Provide a data base to support ASTM Committee E-35 in development of guides and standards.
- Serve as a guide to Subcommittee E35.22 members in their future efforts to address the issues related to the use of pesticides.
The topic headings used to organize the 22 papers in this publication are
- Safety and Environmental Impacts
- Characteristics of Formulations and Adjuvants
- Application Techniques and Pest Control
