Abstract:
The present invention relates to a tank-mix consisting of a) 1,2-cyclohexandicarboxylic acid diisononyl ester, b) a mixture of anionic surfactants selected fromb1) alkylbenzenesulfonates and b2) sulfosuccinate, and c) a nonionic surfactant, wherein the weight% ratio of b1):b2) is 3:1 to 20:1 and wherein the weight% ratio of anionic surfactants to nonionic surfactant is b1) + b2) ≥c. The invention further relates to a spray mix comprising said tank mix and a pesticide. The invention further relates to a process for the preparation of said spray mix; and to a method for controlling phytopathogenic fungi and/or undesirable plant growth and/or undesirable insect or mite infestation and/or for regulating the growth of plants, wherein the spray mix is allowed to act on the respective pests, the habit thereof or the plants to be protected from the respective pest, on the soil and/or on undesirable plants and/or the crop plants and/or the habitat thereof. The present invention comprises combinations of preferred features with other preferred features.
Abstract:
A polymeric stabilizing agent selected from poly-lysine derivatives obtained by the process comprising the steps of: I. heating an aqueous lysine solution to boiling II. increasing temperature of the aqueous lysine solution to a reaction temperature in the range of about 105°C to about 180°C Ill. keep the reaction temperature in the range of about 105°C to about 180°C until i. melt viscosity of the reaction mixture in the range of about 350 mPa*s to about 6,500 mPa*s when measured at 160°C and ii. an amine number in the range of about 100 mg KOH/g to about 500 mg KOH/g is achieved IV. optionally, the vacuum applied is released V. add alkyl-carboxylic acid or alkenyl-carboxylic acid in amounts of 2.5 mol% to 10 mol%, relative to the theoretical amount of poly-lysine comprised in the reaction mixture VI. increase or keep the reaction temperature in the range of about 105°C to about 180°C until number of free alkyl-carboxylic acid or alkenyl-carboxylic acid is ≤ 9% by weight, relative to the total weight of the reaction mixture, wherein vacuum is applied either in step (a), (b) and/or (c) and water is removed continuously during the whole process.
