Ten peer-reviewed papers address the latest information on pest control technologies, including:
• Development of ASTM method for measurement of extensional viscosity of dilute polymer solutions
• Development of new cationic surfactant based emulsi?able oil adjuvant that exhibits improved properties upon dilution in high electrolyte spray mixtures
• Review of attapulgite clays as rheology modi?ers in aqueous suspension products
• Use of ammonium sulfate adjuvants containing high molecular weight polymers as deposition aids for glyphosate spray solutions
• Interaction of certain soluble micronutrients and water conditioners with glyphosate to induce antagonism in spray mixtures.
• Interaction between adjuvants and spray nozzles and the resulting impact on herbicide ef?cacy
• Droplet spreading behavior on synthetic and natural surfaces
• Construction of more strongly predictive mathematical spray retention models for plant foliage
• Correlation established between three different laser-based droplet measurement techniques
• Interactions between air induction nozzles, low pressure nozzles, and drift reduction adjuvants
