What Are the Differences Between Wettability, Suspension Rate, and Dispersibility in Pesticide Formulations?
Wettability, dispersibility, and suspension rate are all important physical indicators for evaluating the water-mixing performance of pesticide formulations, but they do not describe the same process. The entire process can be understood as: Formulation comes into contact with water → Is wetted b...Read more -
What Causes Crystal Growth in SC Pesticide Formulations?
Crystal growth is one of the important physical stability challenges that can occur in SC pesticide formulations during storage. Unlike sedimentation, where suspended particles simply move downward under gravity, crystal growth changes the physical structure of the active ingredient particles the...Read more -
What Causes Sedimentation in SC Pesticides?
Sedimentation occurs in SC pesticides because the active ingredient is present as solid particles suspended in a liquid phase rather than completely dissolved. Gravity naturally drives those particles downward over time. However, the rate and structure of settling depend on much more than gravity...Read more -

How Particle Size Affects SC Pesticide Performance
Particle size is one of the key physical variables in a suspension concentrate, or SC, because the active ingredient remains as fine solid particles rather than being completely dissolved in the liquid phase. The size and distribution of those particles can influence sedimentation, suspension sta...Read more -
What Is FS in Pesticides? Seed Treatment Formulation Explained
FS stands for Flowable Concentrate for Seed Treatment. It is a liquid pesticide formulation designed specifically for treating seed before planting. In an FS formulation, the active ingredient is commonly present as fine solid particles dispersed in a liquid continuous phase rather than completel...Read more -
How Pesticide Formulation Affects Shelf Life
Pesticide shelf life is not determined by the active ingredient alone. The formulation system also affects how a product changes during storage and whether it continues to meet its physical and chemical specifications. Different formulation types fail in different ways. A suspension concentrate (...Read more -
Why Suspension Stability Matters in SC Pesticide Formulations
Suspension concentrate, or SC, is one of the most widely used liquid pesticide formulation types. Unlike a true solution, an SC contains fine solid active ingredient particles dispersed throughout a liquid continuous phase. That distinction is important. Because the active ingredient remains susp...Read more -
Boscalid Fungicide Mode of Action: How Does It Work?
Boscalid is a succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor, commonly abbreviated as an SDHI fungicide. It belongs to FRAC Group 7 and acts at a specific site within the mitochondrial respiratory system of sensitive fungal pathogens. Its primary target is succinate dehydrogenase, the enzyme complex also know...Read more -
Beta-Cyfluthrin vs Bifenthrin: What Is the Difference?
Beta-cyfluthrin and bifenthrin are broad-spectrum synthetic pyrethroid insecticides used against many agricultural, turf, landscape, structural, and public-health pests. They share the same general mode of action, but they are not identical products. Beta-cyfluthrin is based on the more biologica...Read more -
Will Atrazine Kill Bahiagrass in Lawns?
Atrazine can injure, suppress, or control bahiagrass in certain labeled turf situations. However, the result depends on whether bahiagrass is the unwanted weed or the grass you want to keep. If bahiagrass is growing as a weed in a tolerant turf species, selected atrazine products may provide supp...Read more -
Spirodiclofen Mode of Action
Spirodiclofen is an acaricide and insecticide active ingredient. Its main mode of action is inhibition of acetyl-CoA carboxylase. More specifically, spirodiclofen belongs to IRAC Group 23. This group is classified as inhibitors of acetyl-CoA carboxylase. This enzyme is involved in the first step ...Read more
