TI - Use of bentonite and humic acid as modifying agents in alginate-based controlled-release formulations of imidacloprid KW - IMIDACLOPRID KW - CONTROLLED RELEASE KW - BENTONITE KW - HUMIC ACID KW - SORPTION-DESORPTION N2 - In order to prepare a formulation to be used for controlled release, imidacloprid was incorporated into alginate granules by using calcium chloride as gellant. The formulation prepared (alginate-imidacloprid-water)was modified by the addition of different sorbents. The effects on release rate of the addition of natural bentonite desiccated at 105 °C, untreated, acid-treated with sulfuric acid solutions over a concentration range between 0.5 mol dm-3 and 2.5 mol dm-3, and a commercial humic acid, were studied by immersion of the granules in water under static conditions.
