Selection and design of the optimal formulation and delivery system is one of the critical aspects of developing superior crop protection products. Multiple factors need to be considered in the development of a suitable formulation and delivery system, including chemical and physical stability, convenient use, optimized biological performance, targeted delivery, regulatory compliance, farmer preferences and cost-effective production. In this presentation, Dow AgroSciences proprietary active ingredients: Isoclast� active, a novel chemical class of insecticide; and Arylex� active, an innovative low-use rate herbicide for the control of broadleaf weeds; will be used as examples for discussions to demonstrate how the formulation development strategies play critical roles in design and development of robust crop protection products.
