Read moreUnderstanding the agrobiology of agrochemical formulations: active ingredient uptake and translocation
This course provides an insight into plant physiology and anatomy as barriers to active ingredient uptake and translocation, as well as active ingredient physical-chemical properties determining their uptake and translocation.
Read moreUnderstanding the agrobiology of agrochemical formulations: modifier and activator adjuvants
This course continues the topic of agrochemical formulations after active ingredient uptake and translocation and provides an insight into modifier and activator adjuvants and their effects on the bioavailability, stability and application of pesticide formulations.
Read moreUnderstanding the agrobiology of agrochemical formulations: formulation types
This course provides an insight into simple solutions, suspensions and emulsions of pesticidal active ingredients in solid and liquid formulations to the formulation of multiple active ingredients through complex formulations, as well as an overview of formulation strategies and trends.
Read moreUnderstanding the agrobiology of agrochemical formulations: formulation evaluation
This course provides an insight into the agrobiological evaluation of pesticide formulations. By understanding how to evaluate the agrobiological aspects (sprayability, distribution, drying time, uptake, translocation, efficacy, crop safety etc.) of agrochemical formulations, the application and bioavailability of these formulations can be optimized, enhancing efficacy and providing product differentiation.
