AbstractStay on Top of the Latest Developments in the Dynamic Field of Agricultural Formulated Products
This new Report from Hewin International gives you unprecedented insight into this $420 million-and-growing field.
With the introduction of genetically modified crops, companies have been motivated to develop safer and more
convenient surfactant product formulations. Furthermore, due to global consolidation of the agrochemical industry
and mounting environmental concerns, regulatory pressures on the use of pesticides and additives have increased
dramatically. Keeping abreast of the market trends will strengthen your company's position to take advantage of
growing investment, licensing, joint venture, and partnering opportunities. You'll be privy to an in-depth examination of:
- Current and future market trends for agricultural product formulations, surfactants, and oil-based adjuvants to
the year 2005. We evaluate world markets by global regions—the established markets of North America, Western
Europe and Japan, and the growing markets of Eastern Europe, Latin America and the Asian Pacific.
- The use of built-in surfactant wetter to enhance biological efficiency.
- All major surfactant types and their properties. Modes of action to enhance the biological activity of agrochemicals
by surfactants.
- Oil-based adjuvants and other materials added to spray tanks to improve the effectiveness of agricultural products.
- The use of other spray tank additives to improve biological efficacy and reduce pesticide product wastage.
A successful R&D strategy begins with this report's invaluable analysis of:
- Trends toward safer and more convenient product formulations and requirements for more environmentally safe
adjuvants with lower toxicity profiles.
- Effective marketing strategies that take into account legislative and regulatory developments.
- Opportunities for new types of product formulations, surfactants and oil-based adjuvants.
- Commercial requirements for improved agricultural spraying techniques, including ultra-low volume spraying,
controlled droplet application, charged droplet application, and global positioning systems.
