Abstract:
Embodiments of the invention include stable compositions comprising: an active ingredient, a dispersant, a latex, and water, wherein the active ingredient and the latex in the composition remain substantially separate. Further embodiments include methods of applying the compositions to an area to control undesirable plant growth, fungal pathogens or insects.
Abstract:
Compounds formed by combining a carboxylic acid herbicide with N—((C1-C16) alkyl or arylalkyl) tri((C1-C16) alkyl)ammonium hydroxide have herbicidal activity on an acid equivalent basis at least as active as the commercially used carboxylic acid herbicide salts, but are less volatile.
Abstract:
Spray drift during the application of an aqueous mixture of glyphosate and an auxinic herbicide is reduced by incorporating certain tertiary amine or tertiary amine oxide surfactants into the aqueous solution or mixture to be sprayed.

Abstract:
Methods of using aqueous pesticide concentrates containing a pesticide (such as an auxinic herbicide), a surfactant, and a petroleum derived paraffinic oil and the use of such aqueous pesticide spray mixtures incorporating such concentrates are described. The aqueous pesticide concentrates include from 5 to 90 weight percent of a pesticide, from 0.1 to 20 weight percent of a surfactant, and from 0.1 to 20 weight percent of a petroleum derived paraffinic oil. The aqueous pesticide concentrates contain a pesticide, such as a water soluble salt of a herbicide, and form a homogeneous liquid that forms a stable emulsion upon dilution into a spray solution.
Abstract:
Aqueous pesticide concentrates containing a pesticide (such as an auxinic herbicide), a surfactant, and a naturally or petroleum derived oil and the use of aqueous pesticide spray mixtures incorporating such concentrates are described. The aqueous pesticide concentrates described herein include from 5 to 90 weight percent of a pesticide (such as an auxinic herbicide), from 0.1 to 20 weight percent of a surfactant, and from 0.1 to 20 weight percent of a naturally or petroleum derived oil. The aqueous pesticide concentrates are stable oil-in-water emulsions that form a stable emulsion upon dilution into a spray solution.
Abstract:
Provided herein are high-load, solid and liquid pesticidal compositions containing a low-melting active ingredient, which exhibit good physical and chemical stability, and equivalent or improved biological efficacy compared to liquid compositions when used to control pests in crop or non-crop environments.
