Twenty peer-reviewed papers provide the latest advances in crop protection technologies and updates on regulatory issues related to the use of pesticides.

Topics cover:

Developments in Pesticide Formulations—formulating unstable active ingredients in liquid delivery systems; techniques for overcoming herbicide antagonism; a technique for evaluating compatibility of pesticides and fertilizers in spray tank mixes, and much more.

Innovations in Adjuvant Chemistry—a new application for fatty amine alkoxylates; efficacy enhancement of tribenuron herbicide; and the effects of formulations containing alkyl glucosides and ethylene oxide-propylene oxide block copolymers, and additional information.

Advances in Application Technology Research—interactions of spray liquid properties, air temperature, and nozzle performance; nozzle/formulation interactions in terms of rebound characteristics of spray droplets; comparison of field-collected data and the AGDISP model predictions of spray flux in aerial applications; variation of droplet size distribution along the flight line of rotary atomizers and more.
