| Course contents : | 1. Properties and industrial processes of manufacture of the pesticide formulations:
Physicochemical properties of the active substances and development of the formulations
Evolution of the formulations and the industrial processes of production
Nature and role of the various additives used (carriers, surfactant, etc.)
Effects on efficacy and selectivity of pesticide products
Properties and techniques of production of DP, WP, EC., SL, WG, GR., SC, WS
Processing of seed treatment and control release formulations
Formulation of alternative active ingredients (plant extracts, micro-organism)
2. Specification, regulation and quality control of formulations and international regulations on the quality of products
Standardized methods (CIPAC, AID, ASTM)and compliance with GLP
Procedure of invitation to tender (organization, drafting of schedule, particular clause for the purchase and the control of product)
3. Products formulation and environmental restrictions
Prevention of waste and control of the effluents in production
4. Hazards and security of the workers
Hazards and risk assesment
Particular constraints in developing countries
5. Packaging and waste disposal
Nature, properties and compatibility of packaging materials with the formulations
Selection criteria and standards of quality
Waste disposal (produced out-of-date, empty packagings,...) |

| Course objective : | 1. To study the composition of the phytopharmacological product formulations and the various industrial processes necessary to their manufacture - 2. To study the quality control of the formulations and its role on the level of the invitations to tender - 3. To highlight the relations between the physicochemical properties of the formulations and the biological activity of a substance activates.
After completing the course the student is expected to
- To know the composition of the main pesticide formulations
- To know the properties of the main pesticide formulations
- To understand how to organize and realize a quality control of the main pesticide formulations in the framework of the GLP principles |
