The prospects of the use of resorbable polyesters for designing safe pesticides

Herbicidal activity of slow-release herbicide formulations in wheat stands infested by weeds

“…[13] In a study conducted by our team, hexachlorocyclohexane and lindane were embedded in PHA to investigate polymer degradation kinetics and pesticide release into soil. [14][15] Suave et al [16] reported encapsulation of pesticide malathion in microspheres of poly-3-hydroxybutyrate/poly(ε-caprolactone). Other authors reported encapsulation of pesticides ametrine and atrazine in microspheres of the 3-hydroxybutyrate/3hydroxyvalerate copolymer.…”

Biodegradable poly-3-hydroxybutyrate as a fertiliser carrier

“…Research aimed at constructing such PHA‐based slow‐release formulations for protecting cultivated plants is still in its initial stages. Our team has prepared slow‐release pesticide ( α ‐hexachlorocyclohexane and lindane) formulations by embedding the pesticides into degradable poly‐3‐hydroxybutyrate/3‐hydroxyvalerate (P3HB/3HV) matrices and has shown that the pesticides are gradually released into soil, as the polymer is being degraded by soil microflora . Prudnikova et al described slow‐release formulations of the herbicide Zellek Super encapsulated in P3HB/3HV and showed the effectiveness of this formulation against creeping bentgrass ( Agrostis stolonifera L.).…”

The Kinetics of Fungicide and Herbicide Release from Slow-Release Formulations Prepared from Degradable Poly-3- Hydroxybutyrate

“…К настоящему времени данные системы получили широкое распространение, что способствовало воз-никновению множества форм различного дизайна, а также использованию большого количества различных материалов (Blagoeva, Nedev, 2006). пестициды выходят в почву длительное вре-мя по мере разрушения носителя (Volova et al, 2008;Volova et al, 2016b;Voinova et al, 2009;Prudnikova et al, 2013).…”
