Abstract

Today, formulation is becoming a input expertise by which agrochemical companies can differentiate their products and add significant value in the market due to competition for developing new formulations. The new product introduction is significant factor in product refreshment and innovative formulation technology can blow this by a long way. Now days, many different types of agrochemical formulations are available in the market especially as the trend for greener formulations intensifies. Water dispersible granules, or dry flowables as they are sometimes known, are a relatively new type of formulation and are being developed as safer and more commercially attractive alternatives to wettable powders and suspension concentrates. Pesticides formulated with nano-emulsions having a lower surfactant concentration than micro-emulsions and surfactants are considerably more environmentally friendly which are cost effective and economically. As formulation technology is an interdisciplinary scientific responsibility with special associations to the disciplines of colloid chemistry and interfacial physics, in which technical chemistry plays crucial role for the development of world agriculture.
