Bioefficacy of Agrochemicals‘Potency – Mobility – Stability’ Balance • Factors influencing balance: • Wide variety of very different target organisms • weeds, fungi, insects • Range of application modes • soil & foliar applied herbicides • protectant, eradicant & systemic fungicides • contact, residual and soil applied insecticides • Variable environmental conditions • climate, location

Bioavailability of AgrochemicalsLead ‘Potency-Mobility-Stability’ Balance • potent in vitro leads need to be available in vivo to express activity & spectrum. • bioavailability depends both on mobility & stability. • when mobility OR stabilitypoor we have a problem lead. • when mobility ANDstability poor the nightmare begins! • dream leads have a balanced‘potency-mobility-stability’ profile. • avoid the nightmares; address the problems,define thebalance.
Defining the Balance‘Potency-Mobility-Stability’ Profiles • Understand profiles for effective compounds to enable definition of profileoptions for leads: • commercial products • development compounds • evaluation compounds • Profile compounds of diverse molecular properties, moa, spectrum, application rate & time course of action: • HTS Glasshouse Field
