Study: Promising Fenugreek Gum Polymer: Adjuvants for Drone-Based Aerial Chemical Applications to Mitigate Off-Target Drift

“We sprayed water (control), fenugreek polymer (FP) suspension (FP is a nontoxic food-grade polysaccharide derived from the seeds of fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum L.), a legume (Fabaceae) grown in North Africa and Asia), insecticides imidacloprid, and bifenthrin as different treatments. Bee visitation results for fenugreek solution were similar to water and significantly higher than insecticide-alone treatments (unpublished).”
