Abstract: The invention relates to stable liquid and highly effective suspension concentrates comprising
a) one or more solid herbicidally active compounds from the group of the sulfonylureas in suspended form,
b) one or more active compounds which are partially or completely dissolved in component c),
c) an organic solvent or solvent mixture,
d) one or more nonionic emulsifiers,
e) optionally one or more ionic emulsifiers,
f) optionally one or more thickeners or thixotropic agents and no water or up to 30 percent by weight of water in dissolved form.
Abstract: The invention relates to a batter mix comprising genetically modified potato starch (GMPS), a process for the production of said batter mix, the use of said batter mix for the production of food products comprising said batter mix, preferably batter coated food products, which may be pre-fried, frozen and then preferably cooked in a microwave oven, whereby the use of the genetically modified potato starch in the batter mix compositions results in unexpected superior crispness of the food product.

Abstract: Nucleic acid molecules are described encoding an R1-protein from wheat and methods and recombinant DNA molecules for the production of transgenic plant cells and plants synthesizing a modified starch. Additionally, the plant cells and plants resulting from those methods as well as the starch obtainable therefrom are described.
Abstract: Benzoylcyclohexanediones and benzoylpyrazoles, their preparation and their use as herbicides and plant growth regulators.
There are described benzoyl compounds of the formula (I), their preparation and their use as herbicides and plant growth regulators.
In this formula (I), R1, R2, R3 and R4 are various radicals, X is an alkylene chain which may contain a hetero atom and Het is a heterocycle or heteroaromatic ring.

Abstract: Method for controlling harmful organisms in genetically modified cotton plants which contain a gene derived from Bacillus thuringiensis which encodes and expresses an insecticidally active protein, which comprises applying an insecticisally effective amount of one or more compounds from the following groups and a-f, described herein, to the plants, to their seeds or propagation stock and/or to the area in which they are cultivated.
The method according to the invention makes it possible to reduce the application rate of crop protection agents which act synergistically with the transgenic plants, and also to increase and widen the efficacy of the transgenic plants, and therefore offers both economical and ecological advantages.
Abstract: Aqueous endosulfan microcapsule dispersions in which the dispersed microcapsules comprise endosulfan, an organic solvent or solvent mixture and a capsule-forming material based on isocyanate prepolymers and the aqueous phase which represents the dispersion medium comprises surfactants, a water-soluble inorganic salt with or without other formulation aids, which include a relatively small amount of capsule-forming material, and a process for their preparation.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for preparing chlorobenzoxazoles of the formula (I),
in which R1, R2 and R4 are as defined in claim 1 and
in case (a) R3=H, halogen, CN, NO2, C1-C5-alkyl, C1-C5-alkoxy, aryl or aryloxy, where each of the 4 lastmentioned radicals is unsubstituted or substituted, or
in case (b) R3=chlorine,
which comprises reacting benzoxazoles of the formula (II), in which R1, R2 and R4 are as defined in formula (I) and R3 in case (a) is as defined in formula (I) and R3 in case (b) is hydrogen,
in the presence of an acidic catalyst with a chlorinating agent to give the monochlorination product (I) or in case (b) with an excess of the chlorinating agent to give the dichlorination product (I) in which R3=chlorine.
