The pesticide formulation technology comprises silica carrier particles that encapsulate active ingredients (AI) to provide UV protection, increased rainfastness and easier formulation of hydrophobic AI.
Key features
- Small molecule or biologic actives are loaded into silica microcapsules
- Loaded molecules are protected from UV degradation by the capsule
- ‘Hairy’ microcapsule surface enhances leaf adhesion to minimise wash-off, increase utilisation of actives with potential for label dose reduction
- Hydrophobic molecules are easily loaded.
