Polymers in the Controlled Release of Agrochemicals

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Abstract

Chapter 3 describes the uses of polymeric materials in agriculture for controlled release formulations of agrochemicals, which are released into the environment of interest at relatively constant rates over prolonged periods to avoid the risk of the active agents being washed away by rain or irrigation. There are a number of agrochemical areas where polymers have been employed either as encapsulation membranes or as convenient supports to chemically attach the active agrochemical groups. In general, all principal classes of polymers have been utilized in agricultural applications for the controlled release of agrochemicals. The polymeric agrochemicals and related biocides described in this chapter include polymeric herbicides, polymeric plant growth regulators, polymeric fertilizers, polymers in stored food protection, polymeric insecticides, polymeric molluscicides, polymeric antifouling paints, polymeric fungicides in wood preservation, and polymeric antimicrobials.
