Abstract:
The present invention relates to herbicidal mixtures which comprise a) a herbicide A, which is glyphosate or an agriculturally acceptable salt thereof, b) a herbicide B which is saflufenacil or an agriculturally salt thereof, and c) at least one herbicide C which is an imidazolinone or an agriculturally acceptable salt thereof, their use for controlling herbicide resistant, in particular glyphosate-resistant, weeds and crops and methods for controlling herbicide resistant weeds or crops.
Abstract:
A packaged rodenticidal bait comprises a soft bait composition enrobed in a perforated thermoplastic film, wherein the soft bait composition comprises a blend of at least one edible fat, at least one particulate food component and at least one rodenticidally-active substance. Preferably, the thermoplastic film comprises one or more polyolefins.The perforated film used in the manufacture of the packaged bait according to the invention does not absorb fat, unlike conventionally-used paper sachets. The packaged bait composition of the invention is palatable to rodents such that rodents may take a lethal dose of a rodenticide from the bait in a single sitting.
Abstract:
An injection apparatus for treating soil adjacent a structure has a handle and a manifold head attached to the handle. The manifold head has at least one inlet and at least one internal passage in fluid communication with the at least one inlet. A high pressure nozzle is in fluid communication with the at least one internal passage in the manifold head and is adapted for emitting a discharge stream of pesticide for subsurface injection of the pesticide. A low pressure nozzle is provided for applying a pesticide to the surface. The manifold head has a substantially planar contact member having a contact surface for contact with the surface beneath which the pesticide is applied. The contact member has a first opening in the contact surface in fluid communication with the high pressure nozzle and a second opening in the contact surface in fluid communication with the low pressure nozzle.
Abstract:
Subject matter of the present invention is an emulsifiable concentrate comprising a water-insoluble pesticide, an alkyl lactate, and a lactamide of the formula (I) as defined herein. The invention further relates to a process for the preparation of said concentrate; an emulsion obtainable by mixing water, a water-insoluble pesticide, the alkyl lactate and the lactamide of the formula (I); and to a method for controlling phytopathogenic fungi and/or undesired vegetation and/or undesired attack by insects or mites and/or for regulating the growth of plants, where the concentrate or the emulsion is allowed to act on the respective pests, their environment or on the crop plants to be protected from the respective pests, on the soil and/or on undesired plants and/or on the crop plants and/or their environment.
Abstract:
In an apparatus and system (710) for treating soil, an injection apparatus (712) is operable to inject soil treatment under high pressure down into the soil. A base unit (714) is operable to deliver pressurized fluid to the injection apparatus. The injection apparatus is connected to the base unit by a conduit (713) defining a fluid passageway therebetween, with the injection apparatus being positionable remote from the base unit. The base unit includes a base unit control system (792) for controlling operation of the base unit to deliver pressurized fluid to the injection apparatus, and the injection apparatus includes an injection apparatus control system (799) in communication with the base unit control system for controlling operation of the base unit from a position remote from the base unit.
Abstract:
A device for treating soil has a soil contact head having at least one discharge orifice therein, and a handle to which the soil contact head is attached. A discharge valve is with the at least one discharge orifice, and a controller is provided for controlling operation of the discharge valve. An actuation trigger is included for initiating an injection event, with the controller being responsive to the actuation trigger to operate the discharge valve in response to the actuation trigger initiating an injection event. The controller controls the duration during which the discharge valve is open during an injection event in response to a single actuation of the actuation trigger. A source of pressurized fluid is flowably connected to the discharge valve, wherein the discharge valve is operable to discharge pressurized fluid through the at least one discharge orifice during an injection event.
Abstract:
A method of treating soil adjacent a structure generally includes positioning a base unit of a treatment apparatus at a location adjacent the structure. An application tool is positioned over a first injection site. The application tool includes at least one nozzle. The base unit is operated to supply pressurized treatment liquid to the application tool. The application tool is operated to inject the pressurized treatment liquid into the soil at the first injection site without prior disturbance of the soil. The application tool is moved to a second injection site and operated to inject pressurized treatment liquid into the soil at the second injection site without prior disturbance of the soil.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for controlling undesirable vegetation in an aquatic environment in which a rice plant is growing. In the method of this invention, a herbicidally effective amount of a herbicide A or of a composition comprising the herbicide A is applied to the aquatic environment pre-emergence or early post-emergence of the undesirable vegetation and after germination of the rice seedlings wherein the herbicide A is selected from acetochlor, acifluorfen, alachlor, aminopyralid, bensulfuron, benzobicyclon, bicyclopyrone, bispyribac, butylate, carfentrazone, chlorimuron, chlorsulfuron, cinmethylin, clethodim, clodinafop, clomazone, clopyralid, cycloate, cyhalofop, 2,4-D, dicamba, diflufenzopyr, dimethenamid, dimethenamid-P, dithiopyr, EPTC, ethalfluralin, ethofumesate, fenoxaprop, fenoxaprop-P, florpyrauxifen, fluazifop, fluazifop-P, flufenacet, flumiclorac, flumioxazin, fluroxypyr, fluthiacet, fomesafen, halauxifen, halosulfuron, iodosulfuron, imazamox, imazapic, imazapyr, imazaquin, imazethapyr, isoxaflutole, lactofen, MCPA, mesosulfuron, mesotrione, metolachlor, S-metolachlor, metsulfuron, MSMA, nicoculfuron, orthosulfamuron, penoxsulam, pinoxaden, primisulfuron, propanil, propyzamide, pyrasulfotole, pyrithiobac, pyroxasulfone, pyroxulam, quinclorac, quizalofop, quizalofop-P, rimsulfuron, saflufenacil, sethoxydim, sulfentrazone, sulfosulfuron, tembotrione, tetflupyrolimet, thifensulfuron, thiobencarb, tiafenacil, tolpyralate, topramezone, triallate, triasulfuron, tribenuron, triclopyr, trifloxysulfuron, trifludimoxazin, trifluralin, triflusulfuron and agriculturally acceptable salts or derivatives thereof. The method is particularly suitable for weed control in flooded rice fields.
