Course description
Practical Analysis of Agrochemical Formulation Techniques and Processes
Formulation of agrochemicals is key to maximising the potential, longevity and revenues of the active ingredients. Agrochemicals are essential to the agricultural sector as they ensure farmers achieve healthy crop yields but there are many different types of formulation available on the market. As a professional working in formulation it is vital to understand the formulation types, how they are developed and manufactured, the regulations that govern them and green formulations.
Designed for professionals seeking to advance their formulation career, this unique online course will provide you with a detailed insight into key formulation types such as EC, EW, SC, WH, OD and seed treatment formulations. You will also explore the science behind bioavailability. Once completed you will have a deep understanding of each formulation type - you will assess the benefits and negatives, how each formulation is developed and examine the key ingredients in each. You will also learn how each type is manufactured and understand their key physico-chemical properties.
