Agricultural pesticides, formulations emulsifiable concentrate

Agricultural (Ag) formulations that are commonly diluted and applied by means of spray equipment include water soluble liquids, emulsifiable concentrates, wettable powders, and flowable suspensions. The choice of which formulation to develop normally depends upon the solubility properties of the technical pesticide. Scientists often must also consider manufacturing costs, field efficacy and product toxicity. [Pg.87]

Agricultural Products. Pesticides are frequently applied as emulsifiable concentrates. The active insecticide or herbicide is dissolved in a hydrocarbon solvent which also contains an emulsifier. Hydrocarbon solvent selection is critical for this application. It can seriously impact the efficacy of the formulation. The solvent should have adequate solvency for the pesticide, promote good dispersion when diluted with water, and have a flash point high enough to rniriinii2e flammability hazards. When used in herbicide formulas, low solvent phytotoxicity is important to avoid crop damage. Hydrocarbon solvents used in post-harvest application require special testing to ensure that polycyclic aromatics are absent. [Pg.280]
