Pesticide Formulations and Delivery Systems: The Continued Evolution of Agrochemicals, 24th Volume

Goss GR

Originally presented as part of the 24th Symposium on Pesticide Formulations and Delivery Systems held in October of 2003, the 14 papers in this STP address a chemical's efficacy as a pest control agent. Generally, the topics covered include formulation change, liquid formulations and applications, solid formulations, and delivery and interactions of the pesticide with the target organism.

Examples of specific topics included in this collection are

• applying abscission materials
• efficacy of glyphosate applied at different times of day
• performance characteristics of NT as a water conditioning adjuvant
• glyphosate efficacy
• dissolution rates
• effect of particle size on performance parameters
• regulatory and toxicological considerations when formulating for agriculture
• synergistic effect of shortchained alkyl glucosides mixed with alcohol ethoxylates or amine derivatives
• use of polymeric dispersants
• ether amines and amine ethoxylates and their applications as agricultural adjuvants
• variability in aerial application parameters

The information contained in this STP is useful for agriculture professionals working in academia, performing product development, and those involved with application methods.
