ASTM International’s committee on pesticides, antimicrobials, and alternative control agents (E35) is sponsoring the 38th Symposium on Pesticide, Formulation and Delivery Systems: Innovative Application, Formulation and Adjuvant Technologies, October 10-12, at the Sheraton New Orleans, Louisiana, U.S.A. The symposium will take place in conjunction with the October standards development meetings of the committee.

This symposium will discuss formulation and application technologies associated with agrochemical products. Particular attention will be given to innovative technologies targeting more efficient, more effective, safer and more precise delivery of crop protection and production products.

Other topics of interest include:

• Effects of pollinators,
• UAS delivery systems,
• Drift reduction technologies,
• Sustainability of current and upcoming pesticide products and formulations, and
• Innovation chemistries for future use.

Online registration will close on October 4. Registration questions can be directed to Tessa Sulkes. For technical information or questions, contact the symposium chairman Brad Fritz, or co-chair Thomas Butts.
