Is a liquid agrochemical format where the active ingredient is dissolved in an organic solvent and combined with emulsifiers. When diluted in water, it forms a milky emulsion that can be sprayed efficiently on crops or surfaces.

Key Features of EC Formulations:

• Clear oil-based concentrate before mixing

• Forms a stable emulsion upon dilution with water

• Contains emulsifiers to prevent phase separation

• Active content typically ranges from 5–50%

Advantages:

• High biological activity and rapid absorption

• Easy to manufacture and dilute

• Uniform dispersion in spray tanks

• Compatible with many tank-mix adjuvants

Considerations:

• May contain volatile organic solvents (VOCs)

• Can be flammable and require careful handling

• Potential phytotoxicity under hot conditions

• May affect seals or plastics in spray equipment

Typical Components:

EC formulations are widely used in herbicides, insecticides, fungicides, and even aquatic weed control, offering strong performance across diverse crops and climates.
