Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for a preparation of a solid composition comprising the steps of a) dissolving a premix in a premix-solvent, or melting a premix, wherein the premix contains a pesticide and a nonionic, amphiphilic polyalkoxylate, b) solidifying the premix by removing the premix-solvent, or by cooling, and c) contacting the premix with at least one auxiliary. The invention further relates to a solid composition obtainable by said method; to a method for the preparation of an aqueous tank mix, in which a pesticide is present as suspended particles having a particle size below 1.0 μm, comprising the step of mixing water and a solid composition obtainable by the said method; and to a method for controlling phytopathogenic fungi and/or undesired plant growth and/or undesired attack by insects or mites and/or for regulating the growth of plants, where a solid composition obtainable by said method is allowed to act on the particular pests, their habitat or the plants to be protected from the particular pest, the soil and/or on undesired plants and/or the useful plants and/or their habitat.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an aqueous co-formulation of metalaxyl, which contains: i. metalaxyl, in particular metalaxyl-M; ii. at least one organic pesticide compound PC1, which has a solubility in water of at most 1 g/l at 20°C and a melting point in the range from 40 to 100°C; and iii. an aqueous phase containing water and at least one surfactant; wherein the at least one organic pesticide compound PC1 is present in the form of particles suspended in the aqueous phase and where metalaxyl is essentially present dissolved in the aqueous phase and where the surfactant comprises at least one salt of an oligomer or polymer having a plurality of arylsulfonyl groups. The invention also relates to a process for preparing such formulations, which comprises the following steps: a) providing a suspension of metalaxyl in an aqueous phase containing water, at least one surfactant, which comprises at least one salt of an oligomer or polymer having a plurality of arylsulfonyl groups, b) treating the suspension until metalaxyl is essentially dissolved, to obtain an aqueous composition of metalaxyl, wherein metalaxyl is present in dissolved form; c) mixing the aqueous composition of metalaxyl obtained in step b) with an aqueous suspension of the further organic pesticide compound PC1.
Abstract:
Agroformulation comprising copolymer of acrylic acid, poly(alkylene glycol) (meth)acrylate, and alkyl (meth)acrylate Abstract The present invention provides a composition comprising a pesticide and a copolymer, which contains in polymerized form acrylic acid and/or methacrylic acid (monomer A); a mono C 12 -C 22 alkyl terminated poly(C 2 -6 alkylene glycol) (meth)acrylate (monomer B); and a C 1 -C 8 alkyl (meth)acrylate (monomer C). Further on, it provides a process for preparing said composition by contacting the pesticide and the copolymer; a method for controlling phytopathogenic fungi and/or unwanted plant growth and/or unwanted insect or mite infestation and/or for regulating the growth of plants, wherein said composition is caused to act on the respective pests, their habitat or the plants to be protected from the respective pest, to the soil and/or to unwanted plants and/or the crop plants and/or their habitat; and a plant propagation material comprising said composition.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a composition comprising a pesticide and a copolymer, which contains in polymerized form an amide (monomer A) containing at least one of N-vinyllactame, N-C1-C6 alkyl acrylamide and N,N-di-Ci-C6 alkyl acrylamide; a poly(C2-6 alkylene glycol) (meth)acrylate and/or a mono C1-22 alkyl terminated poly(C2-6 alkylene glycol) (meth)acrylate (monomer B); and a Ci-Cs alkyl (meth)acrylate (monomer C). Further on, it provides a process for preparing said composition by contacting the pesticide and the copolymer; a method for controlling phytopathogenic fungi and/or unwanted plant growth and/or unwanted insect or mite infestation and/or for regulating the growth of plants, wherein said composition is caused to act on the respective pests, their habitat or the plants to be protected from the respective pest, to the soil and/or to unwanted plants and/or the crop plants and/or their habitat; and a plant propagation material comprising said composition.
