3D ED analysis of agrochemical nanocrystals.
From spray-droplet crystallisation – a Syngenta & ELDICO study on mesotrione.
What you'll learn
- How the solid form after spray-droplet evaporation drives bioefficacy
- How ED crystal mapping resolves nanocrystalline material mixed with formulation
- Why solid-form insight matters for agrochemical formulation
Why it matters
Agrochemicals are typically sprayed as diluted formulations, and the solid form left after spray droplets evaporate drives bioefficacy – yet it is nanocrystalline and mixed with other formulation components, which defeats conventional analysis. This note shows how electron diffraction crystal mapping resolves the solid form of mesotrione under these conditions.
