Abstract:
Safener complexes comprising cloquintocet acid, or a salt thereof, and an amine-containing polymer or oligomer as well as compositions comprising these safener complexes are provided. Also provided are methods of controlling undesirable vegetation in a crop, comprising applying to vegetation or an area adjacent to the vegetation or applying to soil or water to prevent the emergence or growth of the undesirable vegetation in a crop, a safened herbicidal composition comprising a herbicide and a safener complex comprising cloquintocet acid, or a salt thereof, and an amine-containing polymer or oligomer.
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:
The present disclosure concerns improved solid herbicidal compositions, such as granules and powders, containing built-in adjuvant, which have improved stability and exhibit acceptable herbicidal efficacy when used to control weeds in flooded rice paddies or fields, or cereal crop fields.
Abstract:
Pest controlling compositions exhibiting enhanced pesticidal activity levels are disclosed. In one embodiment, a composition includes at least one pesticide, at least one transition metal salt and least one proteinaceous material. In this embodiment, the composition exhibits enhanced pesticidal activity levels compared to a composition dissimilar only in not having the at least one transition metal salt and the at least one proteinaceous material.
Abstract:
Pest controlling compositions exhibiting enhanced pesticidal activity levels and methods for preparing the same are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method includes providing a liquid composition that includes at least one pesticide and at least one co-ingredient that enhances pesticidal activity of the composition compared to a composition dissimilar only in not having the at least one co-ingredient. The at least one co-ingredient may include at least one metal oxide, a combination of at least transition metal salt and at least one proteinaceous material or a combination of at least one proteinaceous material and at least one polymeric material. The method further includes spray drying the liquid composition to provide a solid composition. In one aspect of this embodiment, the solid composition provided by the spray drying exhibits enhanced pesticidal activity compared to the liquid composition.
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.
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:
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.
