  • CINNAMALDEHYDE AND DIALLYL DISULFIDE FORMULATIONS AND METHODS OF USE
    Publication number: 20140323583
    Abstract: The present invention relates to agricultural emulsion concentrates which form stable oil-in-water emulsions when diluted with water. More specifically, the invention relates to stable oil-in-water emulsions which include cinnamaldehyde and diallyl disulfide with a Calsogen® EH and Surfonic® CO 36 emulsion system. The increased stability of the emulsion allows for efficient mixing of the emulsion ingredients and effective storage and application of the cinnamaldehyde and diallyl disulfide to areas in need of nematode protection or treatment.
