Abstract
The conventional pesticide emulsifiable concentrate (EC) formulations usually contain a large amount of aromatic solvents. This causes adverse effects to environment and human health due to the toxicity of such organic solvents. In this study, a cypermethrine 25EC formulation was developed using methyl ester as a green solvent. The physicochemical characterizations, emulsion properties and storage stabilities of the methyl ester EC formulations were investigated and compared with those of the EC formulation using naphtha A100 as a solvent, evidencing excellent emulsion properties and storage stabilities of such methyl ester EC formulations.
