Desenvolvimento e estabilidade físico-química de inseticida com formulação do tipo suspensão concentrada

Abstract

The global population has been increasing steadily. As a result, the agricultural pesticide industry plays a crucial role in ensuring food security. The development of new formulations is increasingly necessary due to pest resistance. In this context, this study presents the development of a concentrated suspension (CS) formulation containing two insecticidal molecules. The methods used to determine its shelf life consisted of physicochemical analyses before and after thermal stability evaluation. The physicochemical parameters assessed included pH, viscosity, mean particle size, sieving, density, and persistent foam. The acceptance criteria were based on global and Brazilian standards.
