Understanding 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.
Course overview
The biological activity of a crop protection product is determined by its active ingredient, which may be formulated to improve handling, storage, application and bioavailability.
Pesticide formulation addresses product stability and sprayability, leaf coverage and retention as well as active ingredient bioavailability - the extent a substance or active ingredient becomes available to its intended biological target site.
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.
By understanding crop protection formulations – what they do and how they work - the application and bioavailability of active ingredients can be optimized, enhancing efficacy and providing product differentiation.
The course is designed for:
- R&D Managers
- Crop Protection Researchers and Advisors
- Field Trial Providers and Agronomists
- Formulation Chemists and Biologists
- Students and Lecturers of agronomy and crop protection
