Agro Chemicals


FormAvailable in liquid, powder, granules, and emulsifiable concentrate forms
ColorVaries; liquids are often clear or light yellow, powders may be white or colored depending on the formulation
OdorChemical or sulfur-like odor; varies based on the type of agrochemical
DensityVaries by formulation; liquid forms typically have a density between 0.9 to 1.3 g/cm³
pH LevelRanges from neutral to slightly acidic or alkaline, depending on the chemical composition
SolubilitySoluble in water (for herbicides, pesticides); some forms are oil-based and emulsifiable
ViscosityLow to medium viscosity for liquid formulations, free-flowing for granular and powder forms
Boiling/Freezing PointVaries depending on the active ingredient; usually stable under typical agricultural conditions
Active IngredientsIncludes synthetic chemicals or natural substances like insecticides, herbicides, fungicides, and fertilizers
ToxicityVaries; some agrochemicals can be toxic to humans and animals if ingested or improperly handled
Application MethodsSpraying (liquids), spreading (granules), or soil mixing depending on the form and purpose
Shelf LifeTypically 1-3 years when stored under appropriate conditions
PackagingPacked in plastic or metal containers, bags, or drums; sizes vary from small bottles (1 liter) to bulk quantities (50 liters or more)
Environmental ImpactCan cause pollution if overused or misapplied; some agrochemicals are biodegradable, while others may persist in soil or water systems
CompatibilitySome agrochemicals are compatible with others (tank mixing), while certain combinations may cause chemical reactions
Storage ConditionsStore in cool, dry, and well-ventilated areas; keep away from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture
Regulatory StandardsMust meet local and international agricultural safety standards like FAO, WHO, and national regulatory bodies
