With increased customer demand for novel and more effective agricultural solutions, the crop protection industry has been continuously developing innovative products, not only by launching new active ingredients, but also by advancing novel formulation technology. A successful formulated product requires robust physical and chemical stability throughout the product’s shelf life over a wide range of temperature and humidity storage conditions. Common stability challenges include crystallization, phase separation, chemical degradation, etc. Full understanding of intrinsic physical and chemical properties of active ingredients, strengths and limitations of each formulation type, and common causes for stability issues will benefit a scientifically sound formulation design approach. Case studies in this work clearly exemplify how essential formulation strategies can be identified and applied during the formulation development process to overcome common stability challenges.
