Abstract:
Provided herein are microcapsules comprising a capsule core and a capsule shell. The capsule shell includes a core surrounding a layer of a polyvinyl alcohol and an adjacent layer of a polyoxazoline, and the capsule core includes a water-insoluble pesticide. Further provided herein is a process for producing the microcapsule, including: a) preparation of an oil-in-water emulsion with a disperse phase which includes the pesticide and an aqueous continuous phase and the polyvinyl alcohol, and b) subsequent addition of one or more of the polyoxazoline. The process relates to a method of controlling phytopathogenic fungi, undesired plant growth, and/or undesired insect or mite attack, and/or for regulating the growth of plants, wherein the microcapsules act on the respective pests, their environment, the crop plants to be protected from the respective pest, on the soil, on undesired plants, on the crop plants, and/or on the environment of each plant.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an agrochemical aqueous suspension concentrate comprising a pesticide in the form of pesticide particles and at least 5 wt % of an adjuvant dissolved in the aqueous phase, wherein the adjuvant is of the formula (I) as defined herein. The invention also relates to the adjuvant as defined in formula (I). Furthermore, the invention relates to a process for the preparation of the suspension concentrate by contacting water, the pesticide, and the adjuvant. The present invention further relates to a method of controlling phytopathogenic fungi and/or undesired plant growth and/or undesired insect or mite attack and/or for regulating the growth of plants.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an agrochemical composition comprising the potassium salt of dicamba and an adjuvant selected from a) a polyalkylene oxide block-copolymer, b) a hyperbranched polycarbonate, and c) a solvent selected from C1-C6-alkyl lactate, C3-C6-lactone and N—C1-C15-alkyl pyrrolidone. It also relates to a method of controlling undesired vegetation, and/or for regulating the growth of plants, wherein the agrochemical composition is allowed to act on the respective pests, their environment, or the crop plants to be protected from the respective pest, on the soil and/or on the crop plants and/or on their environment; to a method for producing the agrochemical composition; to an adjuvant composition for increasing the solubility of the potassium salt of dicamba in an aqueous composition comprising a mixture of additive a) or additive b) with additive c) fine droplet formation.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a composition comprising microcapsules, which comprise a polyurea shell and a core, wherein the core comprises a water-insoluble pesticide and the shell comprises a polymerization product of a tetramethylxylylene diisocyanate, an cycloaliphatic diisocyanate, and an aliphatic diamine; to a method for preparing the composition comprising the steps of contacting water, the pesticide, the tetramethylxylylene diisocyanate, the cycloaliphatic diisocyanate, and the aliphatic diamine; and to a method of controlling phytopathogenic fungi and/or undesired plant growth and/or undesired insect or mite attack and/or for regulating the growth of plants, wherein the composition is allowed to act on the respective pests, or the crop plants to be protected from the respective pest, on the soil and/or on undesired plants and/or on the crop plants and/or on their environment.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to a composition comprising microcapsules, which comprise a polyurea shell and a core, wherein the core comprises pendimethalin and the shell comprises a polymerization product of a tetramethylxylylene diisocyanate, and a polyamine with at least three amine groups, and where the polymerization product comprises less than 5 wt % of further isocyanate monomers in polymerized form, based on the weight of the tetramethylxylylene diisocyanate; a method for preparing the composition comprising the steps of contacting water, the pendimethalin, the tetramethylxylylene diisocyanate, and the polyamine; and to a method of controlling undesired plant growth, wherein the composition is allowed to act on the soil and/or on undesired plants and/or on the crop plants and/or on their environment.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for preparing granules comprising the steps of A) preparing an adjuvanted slurry by milling an aqueous composition Al containing a pesticide and a silica absorbent to yield a pesticidal slurry, and adding an adjuvant to the pesticidal slurry; and B) granulating the adjuvanted slurry, wherein the granulation comprises a fluidized bed granulation or sprouted bed granulation. It further relates to granules obtainable be said method comprising 1 to 30 wt % of the pesticide, 10 to 35 wt % of the adjuvant, 8 to 30 wt % of the silica absorbent, and wherein the weight ratio of the silica gel to the adjuvant is from 2/1 to 1/3,5, and finally 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 the granules obtainable by said method are 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.
