Controlled Release Formulations for Anionic Herbicides (Yissum)
- Summary
- High concentrations of herbicides are used to compensate for loss due to leaching and surface migration
Slow-release and controlled-release formulations are specifically designed for hydrophobic herbicides – not suitable for anionic herbicides such as sulfonylureas, imidazolinones and triazolopyrimidinesThe herbicide is released slowly, reducing leaching to deeper layers and contamination of soil and water.
The herbicide is delivered close to its target, enhancing efficiency and reducing concentration required
The new formulation is also suitable for hydrophobic herbicides
- Technology Benefits
- The worldwide agricultural and non-crop (home and garden markets and usage in industrial, governmental and commercial use) herbicide market is valued at more than $15 billion.
In terms of consumption, the U.S. agricultural and noncrop herbicide market makes up 35% of the value of the world market and 25% of the volume of the world market.
