The symposium Pesticide Formulations and Delivery Systems: Meeting the Challenges of the Current Crop Protection Industry was held in October of 2001. The symposium was sponsored by ASTM Committee E35 on Pesticides. This publication contains the proceedings from that symposium.
Papers are grouped in this publication into two general categories – formulation ingredients and design and delivery strategies. The keynote paper addressed the impact of political changes on the agriculture industry. Other topics covered in the papers presented in this publication include:
- novel polymeric dispersants
- clays as microbial carriers
- Alkyl Citrate Ester surfactants
- delivery of microencapsulated medicine to bees
- surfactants in foliar application of systemic compounds.
- drift reduction using air inclusion nozzle technology
- modulated sprays used for flow rate and droplet size control
- application of abscission sprays to orange trees,
- Diuron activity
- Norflurazon activity
- humectants
- sulfosulfuron
- glyphosate
This STP will be of interest to formulation chemists and suppliers of formulation ingredients, as well as to biologists and engineers.
