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:
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:
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:
Dithiopyr capsule suspension formulations, possessing a broad range of capsule wall thicknesses and diameters are disclosed. These capsules have decreased volatility and provide enhanced biological activity when compared with commercial dithiopyr in water formulations.
Abstract:
Methods and compositions to reduce spray drift during application and/or volatility after application can be reduced by incorporating certain tertiary amine or tertiary amine oxide surfactants into an aqueous herbicidal spray mixture containing dicamba. The use of the choline salt of dicamba and the presence of 3,6-dichlorosalicylic acid (DCSA) or a salicylic acid derivative can further reduce drift and volatility. In some embodiments, the composition can contain one or more additional pesticides, such as glyphosate, glufosinate, or mixtures thereof. The concentration of 3,6-dichlorosalicylic acid or the salicylic acid derivative is typically greater than about 25 ppm by weight of the spray mixture.
