Gain a comprehensive understanding of agrochemical formulation types, regulatory landscape and development processes
Course Overview
New AG Academy’s highly interactive 3-day course explores key scientific and regulatory developments currently influencing agrochemical formulation strategies and will act as a broad introduction to the area.
Through a combination of theory and practical exercises, you will examine current industry trends and navigate EU & US regulatory requirements for compliant formulations. You will assess the advantages and disadvantages of specific formulation strategies from initial development through to manufacturing and application of the final product.
What will you learn?
Formulation
Understand how to develop a formulation and provide the supporting data needed for submissions
EU Regulations
Evaluate the impact of changed EU regulations
Formulation Types
Get to grips with “newer” formulation types
Formulation Challenges
Assess the driving force behind greener formulations, explore the different forms of biopesticides and assess their challenges to the formulator
Analytical and Test Methods
Get an overview of analytical and test methods used to support the stated claims of the formulation
Scale up & Manufacturing
Study key considerations for scale up & manufacturing
Application Types
Investigate the various application types and their impact on formulation choice
Who is this course for?
This course is suitable for anyone wishing to gain a broad overview of trends and procedures in agrochemical formulations including:
- Those new to agrochemical formulation or wishing to update their knowledge on formulation strategies
- Those moving into formulation from other areas within agrochemicals
- Those in other areas of the agrochemical industry such as Regulatory Affairs, Research, Development or
- Manufacturing who would find knowledge of formulation strategies useful for their role
