Protoporphyrinogen oxidase inhibitor microparticle encapsulation: BASFRecent Research Landscape

Active ingredient degradation and off-target volatility increase chemical waste and crop damage risk. These microparticle architectures control release kinetics and chemical stability to ensure herbicidal efficacy.

What technical problems is BASF addressing in Protoporphyrinogen oxidase inhibitor microparticle encapsulation?

Off-target herbicide spray drift

(39)evidences

Suspension concentrates suffer from particle sedimentation and phase separation during storage. Preventing these degradation modes ensures uniform dosage and extended product shelf life.

Uncontrolled active ingredient release

(9)evidences

Unprotected protoporphyrinogen oxidase inhibitors suffer from rapid environmental breakdown and poor physical stability in aqueous environments. Preventing early degradation ensures sustained herbicidal efficacy and reduces application frequency.
