Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for producing a liquid non-aqueous emulsifiable formulation comprising a pyripyropene pesticide of the formula (I) as defined below which is dissolved in an aromatic hydrocarbon or hydrocarbon mixture containing surfactants, which stabilize the emulsion upon dilution with water, which method comprises the steps i) and ii) as described hereinafter: i) dissolving the at least one surfactant and the compound of formula (I) in the organic solvent or solvent mixture to obtain a clear solution of the at least one surfactant and the compound of the formula (I); ii) heating the solution to a temperature of at least 40° C.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a liquid concentrate formulation comprising a pyripyropene pesticide of the formula I as defined below and an alkoxylated aliphatic alcohol as an adjuvant. Moreover, the invention relates to the use of the formulations for the treatment of plants and seed and to corresponding methods.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for producing an aqueous suspension concentrate formulation and novel suspension concentrate formulations of the compound of formula I. The method comprises the steps a) to d) as described hereinafter: a) providing an aqueous slurry of the compound of the formula I containing the compound of formula I in the form of coarse particles dispersed in a solution of the at least one surfactant in water; b) comminuting the coarse particles in the slurry of the compound of formula I to obtain an aqueous suspension of the compound of the formula I, wherein the particles of the compound of the formula I have an volume average particle size in the rage from 3 to 10 μm, as determined by light scattering; c) keeping the suspension of step b) at a temperature in the range of 20 to 95° C., d) subjecting the suspension of step c) to a further comminution to obtain an aqueous suspension of the compound of the formula I, wherein the particles of the compound of the formula I have an volume average particle size of below 3 μm, as determined by light scattering.
