• EBDC's: compounds that are not completely stable; slight degradation over time (transport, storage)

• If the content of A.I. is low, there is risk of ineffectiveness

UPL always puts a little more of A.I. than normal content, to guarantee 2 years of stability, in Mancozeb and Maneb.

Water content

It is an indicator of the degradation of the product, if the water content is very high (> 2%):

• High humidity level

• Conservation problems during storage.

Suspensibility

It is the ability of the product to stayin suspension.

If the suspensibility is very low(<75%) there is a risk ofsedimentation of the product. Itgoes to the bottom of the drums /tanks

Stability

Floatable formulation of mancozeb with sediment problems

Low viscosity

Low suspensibility

Stabilty: Conclusion

Vondozeb has demonstrated:

• Excellent physical properties in terms of suspensibility, viscosity, flowability and compatibility with other fungicides.

• There is no risk of sedimentation with the current storage system

DispersabilityThe dispersion of theproduct on the surface ofthe leaf is a criticalaspect in the use ofprotectors.

It depends on:

✓ Compatibility of the formulation with the polarity of the surface of the film

✓ Capacity of the formulation to extend in the maximum leaf area.

✓ Miscibility in emulsions

Objective:

Coalescence of drops

100%

COVERAGE

Dispersability

Vondozeb formulations offer the best dispersion in the leaves in two ways:

• Formulation in oil with excellent diffusion of drops in the leaf.

• Dry formulation that offers a high number of drops which means a 100% coverage on the leaf
