Abstract:
This invention relates to stable liquid formulations of the nitrification inhibitor nitrapyrin comprising polar solvents that are stabilized with small amounts of compounds which help to reduce the tendency of polar solutions of nitrapyrin to corrode metal surfaces. Many of the formulations disclosed herein exhibit useful physical, chemical, and bioactive properties including reduced levels of corrosion when in contact with ferrous metals.
Abstract:
Interactions between components in the internal oil phase and components in the continuous aqueous phase of an oil-in-water emulsion are hindered by the addition of a mixture of polymeric surfactants, which reduces chemical and/or physical instabilities, and improves compatibilities of components in formulations.
Abstract:
Provided herein are methods and compositions for improving the dispersion properties in water of a pesticide-containing granule with a water soluble agglomeration suppressant.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to enhanced nitrification inhibitor dry fertilizer compositions, methods for making the same, and their use in agricultural applications.
Abstract:
Spray drift during the application of agricultural chemicals is reduced by incorporating a self-emulsifiable ester into the liquid to be sprayed.
Abstract:
Pest controlling compositions exhibiting enhanced pesticidal activity levels are disclosed. In one embodiment, a composition includes at least one pesticide, at least one proteinaceous material and at least one polymeric material. In this embodiment, the composition exhibits enhanced pesticidal activity levels compared to a composition dissimilar only in not having the at least one proteinaceous material and the at least one polymeric material. Still, alternative embodiment pesticide compositions exhibiting enhanced activity levels are disclosed.
Abstract:
Half salts of certain synthetic auxin herbicides are provided. These half salts are useful for controlling unwanted plant growth. The half salts have low solubility in water, low volatility relative to commercial compositions of the corresponding synthetic auxin herbicides, and offer comparable herbicidal performance when compared to existing salts of the synthetic auxin herbicides.

Abstract:
The mixture of certain amine salts of glyphosate and 2,4-D allows the preparation of high-strength liquid compositions containing up to greater than 450 gae/L of total active ingredient loading if the pH is adjusted to about 6.0 to about 8.0. Compositions are particularly well-suited for application to crops that are resistant or tolerant to both glyphosate and 2,4-D.
Abstract:
Herbicidal emulsifiable concentrates containing an aryloxyphenoxypropionic acid herbicide and a non-petroleum derived built-in adjuvant such as a plant-derived methylated seed oil or a vegetable oil concentrate are useful for controlling undesirable vegetations, and exhibit improved herbicidal efficacy on weeds, particularly in an aquatic environment such as in flooded rice paddy or field.
