Formulations — Past, Present, and Future

Abstract

During the last 30 years there have been significant evolutionary changes in the formulation and application of agrichemical products. Crop protection is now a sophisticated task, and quality requirements for crop protection chemicals are ever increasing. With agriculture under economic stress and with intense competition between existing chemicals and newly developing products of high potency, formulation development is evolving as an increasingly scientific multidisciplinary effort increasingly closely integrated with application technology.
