Adjuvants and phytotoxicity
The
fear for crop damage or an outspoken bad experience are motives for
growers to say “never (again)” when it comes to application of
adjuvants. This is particularly true for growers of vegetables, fruits
and ornamentals who apply growth regulators, insecticides and fungicides
to their crops. When this position is taken by a grower or advisor one
should have very sound data to convince these growers that adjuvants can
be beneficial. With postemergence weed control in arable farming one
may observe sometimes some damage to the crop at an early stage. Most of
the time the crop recovers easily from this damage. Adjuvants & Formulations summarizes in a nutshell what is known about adjuvants and phytotoxicity. | |

Patents in brief
Bayer
is very active in patenting new formulations of pesticides. Recently
patent offices published applications covering improved seed treatment
formulations of fluopyram, a crystal polymorph of this active ingredient
and extended release fluopyram formulations. Bayer seeks also patent
protection for adjuvants that improve the rainfastness of glyphosate and
glufosinate formulations and for antifoam adjuvants and thickener
combinations for these active ingredients.
Adjuvants & Formulations also reports about activities of other companies as well as universities, such as:
- New mild surfactants for glyphosate formulations.
- Improved formulations of essential oil-based bioherbicides.
- Development of contemporary formulations for classical and old active ingredients.
