Pesticide formulations combining multiple modes of action are becoming increasingly important for farmers. Compared with formulations containing a single active ingredient, premixes can deliver better performance through increased efficacy, broader spectrum pest control, and greater convenience. However, pesticide actives often do not mix well with one another in solution and sometimes even exist as insoluble solid particles. As a result, achieving physical stability is very often a key challenge to address in developing new premix formulations. This presentation will cover various approaches for preparing storage stable formulations, with examples shown for systems that include suspension concentrates, suspoemulsions, and capsule suspensions.
