The herbicide products have very low environmental impact, in the list of “low risk substances”, and can be transported, stored and used without specific conditions.
Expected innovation lies in the optimized and demonstrated efficiency of an improved composition of the product. In particular, addition of low-risk surfactants compatibles with the acidic composition to increase uniform spreading on the leaves.
Technical Specification or Expertise Sought
Knowledge in adding surfactants in acidic solutions to improve spreading of the solution onto vegetal / weed.
Demonstration of efficiency capability on large gamut of weeds.
