Challenges in agrochemicals design

Design of active ingredients is a multidimensional task. Sufficient target activity in combination with high bioavailability and no (or at least low) toxicological behaviour are prerequisites for promising candidates. In this respect, pharmaceutical and agrochemical companies need to address the same issues. Considering the target activity one can generally conclude that “target is target” rega...

Organic Pollution from Agrochemicals

The unique role of halogen substituents in the design of modern agrochemicals.

The past 30 years have witnessed a period of significant expansion in the use of halogenated compounds in the field of agrochemical research and development. The introduction of halogens into active ingredients has become an important concept in the quest for a modern agrochemical with optimal efficacy, environmental safety, user friendliness and economic viability. Outstanding progress has bee...
