    World Agrochemical Network Chinese Network report: Recently, Corteva launched a new patented technology product Colex-D®
    in Australia.
    Since 2007, Corteva has worked with several North American universities to optimize 2,4-D drift pest management
    .
    Colex-D is a new 2,4-D product that offers all the performance and efficacy of conventional 2,4-D products with field-proven DRT, near-zero volatility and ultra-low odor
    .
     
    Corteva has long recognized the benefits and advantages
    of 2,4-D as a herbicide.
    2,4-D is recognized as an important tool
    for fallow management due to its strong broad-spectrum activity against some important stubborn weeds.
    However, for many farmers, the current application of 2,4-D products is becoming more and more unsustainable
    due to exposure to 2,4-D sensitive crops and restrictions on the area of use.
     
    Colex-D solves many of the major dilemmas associated with traditional 2,4-D products with its powerful weed control benefits while significantly reducing the off-target risk associated with older 2,4-D formulations, Colex-D's built-in drift reduction technology, near-zero volatility and ultra-low odor mean Colex-D is a 2,4-D product
    that can be safely applied.
     
    When mixing with mixed materials with tanks, it is important to test the droplet spectrum because these combinations change the droplet size interval
    .
    In some cases, mixed materials that fail rigorous testing will not be supported for labeling
    .
    The patented bleach reduction technology in Colex-D formulation is designed to eliminate droplets at the finer end of the spectrum, resulting in the ideal droplet size that maximizes product performance and minimizes
    the risk of deviation from target.
    When Colex-D is applied according to the label of instructions, it provides an optimized droplet spectrum to ensure that the herbicide reaches the target weed
    .
    The Colex-D label contains application recommendations for a variety of different nozzle types and operating pressures to ensure maximum
    product benefits.
     
    Corteva has conducted detailed wind tunnel testing of Colex-D with all common tank mix materials marked to ensure physical compatibility and field effectiveness
    under Australian environmental conditions.
     
    The Corteva trial showed that this new choline salt formulation reduced the loss of 2,4-D volatility by more than 86% compared to the amine form
    .
    2,4-D amine volatilizes from the surface after 12 hours of application
    .
    Colex-D formulations address the problem of volatility, where compounds move
    from the treated area after application.
    Applying Colex-D gives farmers more confidence to reduce the risk of
    off-target movement and potential hazards after spraying.
    While the traditional 2,4-D amine formulation breaks down in the spray can, producing more volatile components, the novel choline salts in Colex-D remain and are more stable
    after the spray solution and its application.
