Green Solvents in Agriculture: Advancing Crop Protection for a Sustainable Future
Presented by Claire Darré and Monique Adamy
In the quest for sustainable agriculture, green solvents are proving essential in enhancing crop protection products’ performance while minimizing environmental impact. This webinar will explore the pivotal role of green solvents in emulsifiable concentrates (ECs), demonstrating how advanced solvent technologies improve the efficacy, safety, and sustainability of agrochemical products.
Participants will gain insights into the latest methodologies for green solvents selection, including high-throughput screening, quantum mechanics thermodynamics simulations, and machine learning approaches. We’ll also discuss the development of solvent systems for off-patent active ingredients, focusing on their contribution to both effectiveness and circularity in agriculture.
Key topics include:
– The role of green solvents in sustainable agriculture
– The Sustainable Solvents Toolbox for optimizing crop protection formulations
– Cutting-edge methodologies for selecting safe, effective solvent associations
– Innovations in solvent systems for off-patent active ingredients
