New dispersants for multi-component dosage forms

The agrochemical market is developing towards water-based formulations with high content of active ingredients and multiple active ingredient combinations, thereby improving the efficacy of treatments. Different combinations of active ingredients that have the same efficacy but are based on different mechanisms are key to pest control and increasing yield, and are also a sustainable strategy.

Imidacloprid has a relatively high indoor toxicity to peanut root-knot nematodes.

Researchers from the College of Forestry at Henan University of Science and Technology used the immersion method to determine the toxicity of imidacloprid against second-stage larvae of root-knot nematodes, Pratylenchus brachyurus, Belonolaimus longicaudatus, pine wood nematodes, and rotten stem nematodes under different concentrations and times, and examined its effect on the egg hatching inhibition rate of root-knot nematodes.

The future prospects of biological pesticides are very promising.

Due to the rapid development of agriculture in recent years, the research and application technology of pesticides have not kept pace, leading to an increasing harm to the natural environment. The development of new safe, efficient, and green pesticides is urgent, and biological pesticides have come into people's view. The future development of biological pesticides is already an inevitable trend.
