Applications in the field of agricultural technology:
|
1. Solvent for pesticide microencapsulation
- Representative products:
- Syngenta CruiserMaxx® corn seed coating agent
- Process innovation:
- DEGDME dissolves imidacloprid (10%) and undergoes interfacial polymerization with the polyurea wall material, extending the slow-release period to 60 days (compared to only 30 days for traditional formulations).
2. Foliar fertilizer penetrant
- Representative products:
- Haifa Group Nutri-Leaf®, Israel
- Field data:
- The absorption efficiency of iron fertilizer increased by 35% when 0.5% DEGDME was added (as determined by ICP-MS analysis of leaf metal content).
