TL;DR: Experimental results on the successful encapsulation of a natural liquid pesticide 'neem (Azadirachta Indica A. Juss.) seed oil' hereafter designated as NSO, using sodium alginate as a controlled release polymer after crosslinking with glutaraldehyde (GA) is presented.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the technology and applications of controlled-release delivery systems concerning agrochemicals and related technological advances with some critical suggestions with emphasis on inexpensive materials, simpler technologies, and statistical evaluation in planning and developing newer system.

TL;DR: In this paper, polymeric granules were prepared by matrix encapsulation containing 20, 35 and 50% (w/w) of natural liquid pesticide viz, Azadirachta Indica A Juss (neem) seed oil (NSO) per dry weight of urea formaldehyde crosslinked starch (U-St), guar gum (UF-GG) and UF-(St + GG) matrices.

TL;DR: The results indicate that chlorpyrifos is more soluble in methanol than in water, and the effect of temperature on the solubility of chlorp Pyrifos was observed at higher meethanol content in the mixture.

TL;DR: In this paper, a comprehensive approach on the basis of polymer structure-property application is made to evaluate suitable methodology for two types of hydrogels, continuous and discrete, with detailed experimental procedures and results.
