This paper will discuss silicone internal mold release as a major contribution towards increased RIM productivity. The value of these internal release agents together with the necessary developmental parameters of such agents will be detailed. The paper also presents details of internal mold release agents developed by Dow Corning for polyurethane RIM. Field trial results including paint aging data will be presented.

Field trial results on the use of CO2 foams for EOR in Texas and Utah are given in [263]. 161,000 lb of active surfactant was injected in four field trials within 18 months. In all cases, increased oil production was observed. The surfactants Rhodapex CD-128 and Chaser CB-... 

Recently, the new development product enestrobin (69 ISO-proposed, SYP-Z071, Shenyang Res. Inst, of Chem. Industry) [156], containing a 4-chlorophenyl unsaturated oximether side-chain, has been presented. Field trial results indicate that 69 is especially a fungicide active against crop diseases on cucumber such as downy mildew, powdery mildew and gray mold, which is useful in plastic sheet-covered cucumber fields.

Soil. The first reported field trial of the use of hyperaccumulating plants to remove metals from a soil contaminated by sludge appHcations has been reported (103). The results were positive, but the rates of metal uptake suggest a time scale of decades for complete cleanup. Trials with higher biomass plants, such as B.juncea, are underway at several chromium and lead contaminated sites (88), but data are not yet available. 

Paints have their own individual data sheets, prepared by the manufacturer as the result of extensive testing including laboratory tests, field trials and experience in use. These instructions should be followed closely in respect of type of application equipment, operating air pressure, tip size, pot life, curing time at various temperatures, recoating interval, etc. The inspector should have the data sheets available at all times and refer to them. 

Microbid-enhanced oil recovery (MEOR) was first proposed in 1926 by A. Beckman [1780], Between 1943 and 1953, C. E. Zobell [1903,1904] laid the foundations of MEOR techniques. The results were largely dismissed in the United States because there was little interest in finding methods to enhance the recovery of oil at this time. However, in some European countries, the interest for MEOR increased and several field trials were conducted. The first MEOR water flood field project in the United States was initiated in 1986. The site selected was in the Mink Unit of Delaware-Childers Field in Nowata County, Oklahoma [268]. 

Application of the test substance to the test system is without doubt the most critical step of the residue field trial. Under-application may be corrected, if possible and if approved by the Study Director, by making a follow-up application if the error becomes known shortly after the application has been made. Over-application errors can usually only be corrected by starting the trial again. The Study Director must be contacted as soon as an error of this nature is detected. Immediate communication allows for the most feasible options to be considered in resolving the error. If application errors are not detected at the time of the application, the samples from such a trial can easily become the source of undesirable variability when the final analysis results are known. Because the application is critical, the PI must calculate and verify the data that will constitute the application information for the trial. If the test substance weight, the spray volume, the delivery rate, the size of the plot, and the travel speed for the application are carefully determined and then validated prior to the application, problems will seldom arise. With the advent of new tools such as computers and hand-held calculators, the errors traditionally associated with applications to small plot trials should be minimized in the future. The following paragraphs outline some of the important considerations for each of the phases of the application. 

Transport of samples to the analytical laboratory presents the staff of organizations conducting field frials with the most difficult problem and is the area where many studies have failed as a result of samples being lost, defrosted, or shipped to the wrong place. The number of experiences and ill fortune that have befallen many Field Trial Managers are too many to mention. 

Pesticide residues consist of chemicals that might occur in a commodity as a result of application of a pesticide. Such chemicals typically correspond to compounds for which a regulatory agency has or will set a tolerance, i.e., a maximum residue limit, specific to the commodity. In either a field study or a market basket survey, residues to be determined will be those which result from application of the specific pesticide that the study is intended to support. A market basket survey, however, might be intended to support not just one but several different pesticides of the same or different chemical classes. In addition, a market basket survey might include pesticides not used in the USA but for which import tolerances exist. For example, some uses of the parathion family of pesticides on food products have been abandoned in the USA but remain in other countries that export the products to the USA. A market basket survey offers a means to evaluate actual dietary exposures to residues of such pesticides. In addition, tolerance expressions frequently include multiple compounds, all of which must typically be determined in residue field trials. The sponsor of the market basket survey must decide whether to analyze for all compounds in the applicable tolerance expression or to restrict the program to selected analytes, such as the active ingredient. 

Similar results were found in a replicated field trial involving four cultivars at Wadenswil, Switzerland (Weibel and Widmer, 2004) and in a similar study carried out in the USA (Reganold et al., 2001) with organic fruit repeatedly achieving higher taste panel scores for fruit firmness, acidity, sugar content and overall sensory score. 

Plants used to produce PRPs should be amenable to confinement . Isolation distances were increased, and the cultivation of food and feed crops following a PRP crop was discouraged. New hazard and exposure data for human and livestock health assessment may also be required from PRP-containing traditional food or feed crops prior to the approval of field trials. Exposure risk concerns the potential for PRPs to be present in human food or animal feed, and where exposure can occur, what mechanisms are used to limit biological activity. Hazards included direct toxicity and allergenicity in humans or animals as well as hazards presented by the coproduct streams that result from processing. These latter requirements could place a major burden on proponents to prove their materials are safe prior to even confined field trials.
