Abstract: The present invention is directed to a storage stable insecticidal composition comprising one or more Chloronicotynyle compound, in an amount ranging from 0.1 to 5% by weight of the composition, one or more compounds falling within the group of Organophosphorus compounds in an amount ranging from 30 to 75% by weight of the composition and 69.9 to 20% by weight of conventional agriculturally acceptable carrier(s) and excepient(s) along with the process for obtaining the storage stable composition. At least one of the active ingredients is provided with a coating of a water soluble polymer.

Abstract: An insecticidal composition of Acephate and Cypermethrin with enhanced synergistic activity. Preferably, the insecticidal composition includes 0.1 to 25% w/w Cypermethrin active ingredient and 0.5 to 75% w/w Acephate active ingredient along with other ingredients to make dry flow, low compact, dust free granules.

Abstract: Phosphine gas is generated by agitating a reaction mixture of a metal phosphide and water with agitation air in a reaction pot of a phosphine gas generator. The resulting phosphine gas is then diluted with dilution air to produce a fumigant phosphine gas which is directly delivered to a commodity for fumigation. The reaction pot does not have any rotating means such as agitators, rotors, or stirrers. The generator provides on-site generation of phosphine gas in a rapid manner improving the fumigation efficiency for a commodity, such as grain, preferably contained within a storage structures, such as a grain silo. The generator has a built in deactivation system for the unused metal phosphide and phosphine gas.

Abstract: A slow-release microcapsule composition for the safe delivery of agriculturally active material is formed using an encapsulation process. A microencapsulated suspension of agriculturally active material includes an encapsulating agent formed from a graft copolymer of starch and at least on vinyl monomer.

Abstract: A synergistic insecticidal composition is formed containing a Chloronicotynyle compound and a Pyrethroids compound. The Chloronicotynyle compound is provided in an amount preferably ranging from 0.1 to 5.0% by weight of the synergistic insecticidal composition. The Pyrethroids compound is provided in an amount preferably ranging from 1 to 60% by weight of the synergistic insecticidal composition. The synergistic insecticidal composition also preferably includes 35 to 98.90% by weight of conventional agriculturally acceptable carrier(s) and/or excipients.

Abstract: Dry flow, low compact, dust free, soluble granules of phosphoroamidothioates, preferably acephate, are produced by the process of 1) pre-mixing technical grade phosphoroamidothioate with specified adjuvants and other inert ingredients; 2) grinding to produce a ground product having a preferred particle size of 5 microns to 10 microns; 3) post-mixing; 4) granulating; 5) drying; 6) sizing to required length, preferably 1.5 to 3.0 mm; 7) and sieving to remove the fines to get the desired dust free soluble granule.

Abstract: A synergistic insecticidal composition is prepared by combining a Chloronicotynyle compound and an Organophosphorus (OP) compound. The preferred synergistically effective amount of the Chloronicotynyle compounds is an amount preferably ranging from 0.1 to 5% by weight of the composition. The preferred synergistically effective amount of the Organophosphorus (OP) compounds is an amount preferably ranging from 30 to 75% by weight of the composition. The composition also preferably includes 69.9 to 20% by weight of conventional agriculturally acceptable carrier(s) and/or excipient.

Abstract: A safe delivery system of agriculturally active material is formed using an encapsulation process. A microencapsulated suspension of agriculturally active material includes an encapsulating agent formed from a graft copolymer of starch and at least one vinyl monomer.

Abstract: Chemically stable, dry-flow, low compact, dust free, soluble granules of phosphoroamidothioate are prepared using a substantially dry granulation process including an agitative balling process. In a preferred embodiment, spherically shaped acephate granules are produces without the intentional addition of water and/or solvents.

Abstract: Uniformly sized granules are formed using the present extruder and granulation process. The extruder contains a spiral worm screw for guiding a granulation material to an apertured plate. The spiral worm screw is rotated within a chamber and is formed from a guiding slant which terminates at a blunt edge near the apertured plate. The blunt edge rubs the granulation material against the apertured plate which softens the material foming a semi-solid material. The semi-solid material is then gently pushed through the apertured plate using just the required pressure. The granules are formed when the semi-solid material hardens after exiting the apertured plate.
