摘要:
The present invention relates to aqueous pesticide formulations containing high concentrations of a herbicide, such as the potassium salt of glyphosate, together with surfactants or other adjuvants, including formulations which form anisotropic aggregates (AA) or liquid crystals (LC) on or in the foliage of a plant. More specifically, the present invention relates to glyphosate containing herbicidal formulations containing one or more surfactants that form anisotropic aggregates and/or liquid crystals to facilitate the introduction, uptake and translocation of glyphosate throughout the plant. Methods of killing or controlling unwanted vegetation using such formulations are also described. The invention also relates to novel surfactants and pesticide compositions containing such surfactants.

摘要:
Compositions of exogenous chemicals, particularly phloem-mobile exogenous chemicals, are provided for treatment of plants, wherein the composition comprises the exogenous chemical and an enhancing agent consisting of an anthraquinone or substituted anthraquinone. Specific compositions contain herbicides, particularly N-phosphonomethylglycine and herbicidal derivatives thereof, i.e., glyphosate. The compositions exhibit enhanced effectiveness compared to compositions in which the enhancing agent is not present. Also provided are processes for applying an exogenous chemical with an anthraquinone or substituted anthraquinone enhancing agent to achieve enhanced biological effectiveness.
摘要:
A method of eliciting biological activity of an anionic exogenous chemical substance, for example the herbicide glyphosate, is provided. This method comprises preparing a plant treatment composition having the anionic exogenous chemical substance dissolved or dispersed in water, together with (a) an alkylether surfactant component consisting of one or more surfactants each having the formula: R12-O-(CH¿2?CH2O)n((CHR)2O)m-R?13¿ wherein R12 is an aliphatic saturated or unsaturated hydrocarbyl group having about 16 to about 22 carbon atoms, n is an average number of about 5 to about 100, m is an average number of 0 to about 5, one R in each-((CHR)¿2?O)-group is hydrogen and the other R is methyl, and R?13¿ is a hydrogen, C¿1-4? alkyl or C2-4 acyl group; and (b) an amine surfactant component. The weight ratio of the alkylether surfactant component to the amine surfactant component is about 1:10 to about 10:1; and the alkylether and amine surfactant components are present in total in an adjuvant amount of about 0.05 to about 0.5 parts by weight per part by weight of the anionic exogenous chemical substance, expressed as acid equivalent. The method further comprises applying the plant treatment composition to foliage of the plant within a short period prior to rain or activation of overhead irrigation on the plant.
摘要:
A plant treatment composition for application of an anionic exogenous chemical substance such as glyphosate to foliage of a plant is provided. The composition comprises, in addition to the exogenous chemical substance, one or more amine compound(s) each having formula (I) wherein R1 is a hydrocarbyl group having 6 to about 22 carbon atoms and at least about 30 % of all R1 groups present have 14 to about 22 carbon atoms, and R?2 and R3¿ are independently C¿1-5? hydrocarbyl groups. The amine compound(s) of formula (I) are present in the composition in a mole ratio to the exogenous chemical substance of about 0.01:1 to about 0.8:1. The exogenous chemical substance and amine compound(s) of formula (I) are dissolved or dispersed in an agronomically acceptable liquid carrier, preferably water. Also provided is a solid or liquid concentrate composition which, upon dissolution or dispersion in, or dilution with, water, forms a plant treatment composition of the invention. Plant treatment compositions of the invention are useful for eliciting a biological activity, for example herbicidal activity, in a plant.
