Abstract:
The present invention relates to a composition comprising pesticide and polyalkylene oxide. The present invention further relates to pyrrolidone alkylene oxides and to the use thereof in agrochemical formulations. The present invention further relates to the use of the composition according to the invention to control phytopathogenic fungi and/or undesired plant growth and/or undesired insect or mite infestation and/or to regulate the growth of plants. The present invention further relates to the use of a composition according to the invention to control undesired insect or mite infestations on plants and/or to control phytopathogenic fungi and/or to control undesired plant growth, wherein seeds of crops are treated with the composition. Finally, the present invention further relates to seed treated with the composition according to the invention. The present invention comprises combinations of preferred characteristics with other preferred characteristics.
Abstract:
The object of the present invention is an oil-in-water emulsion comprising solvent (A), water (B), surfactant (C) and at least 2 wt.% pesticide (D) based on the emulsion, wherein the solvent contains an aromatic hydrocarbon (a), and a ketone (b). The invention further relates to a method for producing an oil-in-water emulsion in that solvent (A), water (B), surfactant (C) and at least 2 wt.% pesticide (D), based on the emulsion, are mixed together. Other objects include an agrochemical formulation comprising the emulsion according to the invention and other auxiliary materials; a method for combating phytopathogenic fungi and/or undesirable plant growth and/or undesirable insect or mite infestations and/or for regulating the growth of plants; a method for combating undesirable insect or mite infestations on plants and/or for combating phytopathogenic fungi and/or for combating undesirable plant growth; also, seeds treated with an agrochemical formulation according to the invention.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an aqueous dispersion comprising microcapsules, the capsule wall of which is made of radically polymerised monomers and the capsule core of which comprises at least one oil and at least one lipophilic surfactant. The continuous phase of the dispersion comprises at least one agrochemical. The invention also relates to a method for producing an aqueous dispersion with the steps: i) provision of an aqueous dispersion comprising microcapsules, the capsule wall of which is made of radically polymerised monomers and the capsule core of which comprises at least one oil and at least one lipophilic surfactant (microcapsule crude dispersion), and ii) at least one agrochemical is added. The invention also relates to the use of the microcapsule crude dispersion for producing an aqueous dispersion and to a product comprising, as separate components, a microcapsule crude dispersion and at least one agrochemical for combined use in combating undesired plant growth and/or for controlling undesired insect or acaricide infestation of plants and/or for combating phytopathogenic fungi.
