AgroPages-Call for Papers— 5th Ag Formulation & Application Technology Congress (FAT 2024)-Agricultural news

In the macro background of sustainable development of global agriculture, the agrochemical industry is undergoing unprecedented structural change. Technological innovation, stricter regulations and market diversification are bringing huge opportunities and challenges to developing agrochemical formulations.

The 5th Ag Formulation & Application Technology Congress (FAT 2024) will take place on November 26 and 27, 2024, in Hangzhou, China. Adhering to the core concept of ″Global Vision and Local Innovation,″ FAT 2024 is themed with ″Technology Innovation, Market Piloting: Shaping the New Future of Agrochemical Formulations″ aiming to provide industry practitioners with an open and high-level professional platform to discuss and guide the future development direction of agrochemical formulations.

In response to the challenges and opportunities facing the agrochemical formulation industry in the new era, we invited leading industry experts from around the world to conduct in-depth discussions on the following key topics: innovation pathways for formulations and regulatory dynamics; intelligent production technologies and the driving force of precision agriculture in advancing formulation technology; innovation formulation and adjuvant technologies, including proprietary formulation technology platforms, novel delivery systems, and solutions for challenging formulations; upgrade iterations and innovative solutions for aerial application formulations, nanopesticides, and biological formulations. Additionally, the conference will explore the application and prospects of cutting-edge technologies such as big data, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and high-throughput technology in developing agrochemical formulations and new molecules.

Via this conference, we look to stimulate innovative thinking and practical problem-solving to promote technical advancement and sustainable development of the agrochemical industry, which will positively contribute to improving global agricultural productivity.
