Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for enhancing the performance of a pesticide comprising the step of contacting an adjuvant and the pesticide, wherein the pesticide is present in a concentration of less than 10 wt% in the resulting composition containing the adjuvant and the pesticide, and wherein the adjuvant contains a guanidine of formula (A) as defined below, and/or a salt thereof. The invention also relates to a composition comprising an auxin-herbicide and said adjuvant; to a use of said adjuvant for enhancing the performance of a pesticide; and to a method of controlling undesired vegetation, which comprises allowing a herbicidal effective amount of said composition to act on plants, their habitat or on seed of said plants.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to herbicidal compositions comprising as herbicide A at least one protoporphyrinogen-IX oxidase inhibitor (PPO inhibitor), and at least one light detoxifying compound B, compositions comprising them and their use as herbicides, i.e. for controlling harmful plants, and also a method for controlling unwanted vegetation which comprises allowing a herbicidal effective amount of said herbicidal composition to act on plants, their seed and/or their habitat.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a salt comprising an anionic pesticide and a cationic polyamine of the formula (A) or (B) as described in the description. The invention further relates to an agrochemical composition comprising said salt. It also relates to a method for preparing said salt comprising combining the pesticide in its neutral form or as salt, and the polyamine in its neutral form or as salt. In addition, the invention relates to a method of combating harmful insects and/or phytopathogenic fungi. It also relates to a method of controlling undesired vegetation. Finally, the invention relates to seed comprising said salt.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to aqueous concentrate formulations for plant protection comprising: - 2-chloro-5-[3,6-dihydro-3-methyl-2,6-dioxo-4-(trifluoromethyl)-1-(2H)pyrimidinyl]-4-fluoro-N-[[methyl(1-methylethyl)amino]sulfonyl]benzamide in the form of its anhydrate; - Λ/-(phosphonomethyl)glycine in the form of its free acid, in the form of the ammonium salt or a substituted ammonium salt or a mixture thereof; - at least two different non-ionic surfactants with at least one of them comprising an ethylene oxide polymer moiety or an ethylene oxide/C 3 -C 4 -alkylene oxide block copolymer moiety, and - water; wherein the pH-value of the formulation is below 6.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for increasing the resistance of cultivated plants to chemical stress, triggered by insufficiently selective herbicides, or incorrect use of herbicides. The method is characterised in that the cultivated plant is treated with prohexadione or the salts thereof, in particular, calcium salt (I), which are suitable for use in agriculture.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to herbicidal compositions comprising as herbicide A at least one protoporphyrinogen-IX oxidase inhibitor (PPO inhibitor), and at least one light detoxifying compound B, compositions comprising them and their use as herbicides, i.e. for controlling harmful plants, and also a method for controlling unwanted vegetation which comprises allowing a herbicidal effective amount of said herbicidal composition to act on plants, their seed and/or their habitat.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to aqueous suspension concentrate formulation for plant protection comprising: - 2-chloro-5-[3,6-dihydro-3-methyl-2,6-dioxo-4-(trifluoromethyl)-1-(2H)pyrimidinyl]-4-fluoro-N-[[methyl(1-methylethyl)amino]sulfonyl]benzamide in the form of its crystalline anhydrate; - at least one non-ionic surfactant selected from polyoxyethylene-polyoxy-C 3 -C 4 -alkylene blockcopolymers; - at least one anionic surfactant comprising at least one arylsulfonate group; and water; wherein the pH value of the formulation is in the range of 3 to 7.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to herbicidal compositions comprising a) a herbicide compound A which is selected from Λ/-1 -naphthylphthalamic acid (naptalam), the salts and esters thereof; and b) a herbicide compound B which is selected from b.1 3,6-dichloro-2-methoxybenzoic acid (dicamba), the salts and esters thereof; b.2 quinolinecarboxylic acid herbicides; b.3 pyridinecarboxylic acid herbicides; and b.4 aminocyclopyrachlor, the salts and esters thereof. The present invention also relates to the use of these compositions for controlling undesirable vegetation, in particular in crops, in turf or pasture, in rangeland, in fallow, or in forestry.
Abstract:
Fruit yield enhancement is achieved by applying a semicarbazone in a fruit yield enhancing effective amount to the locus of a fruit bearing plant. Most preferably, the semicarbazone treatment is practiced at the onset of reproductive growth - that is, at the onset of the flowering and/or fruit reproductive growth stage of the plant. Most preferably, the semicarbazone is diflufenzopyr.
Abstract:
Aqueous composition comprising a pesticide and a base selected from an alkali salt of hydrogencarbonate The invention relates to a liquid aqueous composition, which has a pH value of at least 7,0, comprising a pesticide and a base selected from an alkali salt of hydrogencarbonate; a method for preparing said composition comprising a step of contacting a pesticide and a base selected from an alkali salt of hydrogencarbonate; and a method of combating harmful insects and/or phytopathogenic fungi, which comprises contacting plants, seed, soil or habitat of plants in or on which the harmful insects and/or phytopathogenic fungi are growing or may grow, plants, seed or soil to be protected from attack or infestation by said harmful insects and/or phytopathogenic fungi with an effective amount of the composition.
