Interesting Nufarm / Sumitomo Patent

NANOPARTICLE, PROCESS OF PRODUCTION OF A PESTICIDAL FORMULATION, PESTICIDAL FORMULATION, METHOD OF CONTROL OF PESTE, USE OF NANOPARTÍCULA AND USE OF PESTICIDE FORMULATION



The present invention describes a starch/abamectin suspension nanoparticle, uses thereof, a pesticide formulation comprising said nanoparticle, the method for producing said pesticide formulation and a method for controlling plant pests. The formulation of the present invention allows easier control over reinfestation by pests, such as, for example, mites, nematodes and/or insects in the soil, with a reduced number of applications and greater residual effect. The present invention pertains to the fields of Chemistry and Farming.

The present invention describes, in one embodiment, a method for nanoencapsulating abamectin through the interaction between components for controlled release of the agrochemical and increased resistance to photodegradation, forming a nanocomposite.
[0070]

The proposed method allows, by a simple route, the protection of the active compound abamectin, forming a nanocapsule that provides the controlled release of abamectin and increase the resistance to the photodegradation of this compound, when compared to the pure materials.
[0071]

The nanocomposites present protective effect of photodegradation, thermal stability, chemical stability and instant solubility in water without presence of crystals and sediments, besides not forming foam and microbial growth


[90] Nanoencapsulation enables controlled release and photochemical protection of abamectin.
The abamectin found on the market presents immediate release of the product, needing to be reapplied after a certain time of crop growth, to avoid reinfestation of nematodes.

The invention provides a solution for reducing the number of applications of the agrochemical as it enables controlled release of the product, solving the problem of product leaching into the soil.

Moreover, the increase in resistance to photodegradation allows the agrochemical to remain longer active time, mainly in application to the soil.

This integrated solution allows, therefore, to facilitate the control of pest reinfestations, such as mites, nematodes and / or insects in the soil with less number of applications and greater residual effect.

I am very basic chemist But we started with short term plant based polymers and then on to medium and long chain polymers ,This epiphany was 35+yrs ago. But this is for the very micro size of clay particle size when talking about encapsulation
Can someone explain how long chain ,presumably sprayed chemimical polymers disable living pests of whatever sort.
I’m am also interested philosophically on how wiping out pests increases or does not decrease genetic natural diversity.
I want to see a food chain that is broad based not just so called protecting the birds and bees.
How do you not kick the stool from under mans feet? Do you leave it to Man’s selective

Nematodes stealing bushels, revenue and deserve attention, experts advise



Fast-forward 30 years and nematode reproduction and populations are on the rise.
“There are two types of farmers in the Midwest,” Tylka said. “Those who are worried about SCN and those who should be.”
Heck and Tylka offered their warnings and call-to-action during a panel discussion focused on the income-robbing pest held earlier this month at Commodity Classic in Orlando, Florida.
Joining them in the conversation were Auburn University plant pathologist Kathy Lawrence, Albert Tenuta, plant pathologist for the Ontario (Canada) Ministry of Agriculture and farmers Kip Roberson and Pat Duncanson of North Carolina and Minnesota, respectively.
Rising populations and resistance spells trouble for farmers and the soybean industry, panelists said.

“The nematode is adapting to and overcoming resistance while soybean yields of SCN-resistant varieties are trending lower,” said Tylka, who also serves as director of the Iowa Soybean Research Center at ISU. “Added together, the impact could be a loss of 10-15 bushels per acre. That’s profound when considering this situation is quite likely typical for farmers throughout the Midwest.”
Panelists agreed that admitting and identifying the presence of SCN is what makes it so difficult to manage.

A farmer growing 60-bushel soybeans, for example, may be pleased with the output. Therefore, they’re not as inclined to ask what went wrong despite the potential to harvest 70-bushel soybeans per acre if nematode populations were suppressed.
“Some growers are aware they have an issue,” said Lawrence. “But it usually takes a yield loss – and a rather severe one – for them to start looking to find out why.”

I'm interested to know how much of this statement from Sumiagro and Sipcam that references Sumitomo fits into Eden's Crop protection developmental Vertical pipeline and Sustaine and also the wider applications across the Sumitomo footprint.

I hope an update from Eden will inform us further. It would be useful to me to understand in more depth how the SEIPRO brand works across Sumitomo partnerships globally.

'Five new features coming soon.

The Japanese company also indicates that five projects are expected to be completed in the coming months, including the SAF1801i, which officials describe as "a new means of pest control through its mode of action". This solution is composed of a spectrum of polymers with different chain lengths. During its application, these polymer chains entangle and congeal on the surface of the plant. The film thus created immobilizes the pest and prevents it from feeding. "It is selective small insects little mobile, especially the sucking-type psyllid suckers, whiteflies ... It has no adverse effects on auxiliary wildlife," said the official. This solution does not require a marketing authorization because it has no insecticidal action, it has a profile without DAR and without residues. The company indicates that it has been tested on orchard, vineyard, market gardening with good results.

Among the other novelties expected, a biocontrol fungicide based on microencapsulated terpenes for the fight against pome fruit conservation diseases. The biocontrol insecticide Oikos will benefit from a new formulation'.

to that, add Redt, but more so. No climate to be raising funds... Which is why we need profitability here soon.

A roller coaster for sure. Disappointing for LTH but I believe a good price to get in at as I expect substantial new contract award news flow this year. Much of the gloom is based on the current numbers which I expect to be positively impacted upon by the new contracts.

Bayer Loses First Phase of Roundup Trial, Now Will Face Liability



Chief Executive Officer Werner Baumann has worked to restore investors’ confidence, announcing a restructuring and reporting better-than-expected earnings growth last quarter, but those efforts could easily be undone by concerns over Roundup and the health impact of its active ingredient glyphosate, said Markus Mayer, an analyst at Baader Bank AG.

Bayer said moving to the next phase of Edwin Hardeman’s suit against the company has no impact on future cases because each one has its own factual and legal circumstances.

“We are disappointed with the jury’s initial decision, but we continue to believe firmly that the science confirms glyphosate-based herbicides do not cause cancer,” the company said in a statement. “We are confident the evidence in phase two will show that Monsanto’s conduct has been appropriate and the company should not be liable for Mr. Hardeman’s cancer.”

Glyphosate and two insecticides accused of increasing the risk of lymphoma
A study of unprecedented magnitude has calculated the risk of lymphoma surges for farmers using these substances, compared to those who do not use them.



Which pesticides increase the risk of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma most among farmers, who are more frequently affected by these rare blood cancers than the rest of the population? Fifteen epidemiologists from a dozen international research institutions, including the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), in a study published Monday, March 18 by the journal International Journal of Epidemiology, elements of answer and point three substances: two insecticides, terbuphos and deltamethrin, and a herbicide, glyphosate.
The researchers carried out an unprecedented synthesis effort, exploiting the information of three large cohorts in France, Norway and the United States, thus gathering data from more than 315,000 farmers followed on average for more than ten years. They evaluated the exposure of farmers to 33 different pesticides according to a binary classification. The analysis consisted of calculating lymphoma adrenal for farmers using a given pesticide, compared to those not using it. And this, without considerations of duration or intensity of exposure.
