Patent number: 6835719Abstract: An environmentally safe pesticidal liquid suspension composition including a mixture of sulfur combined with pyrethrins and/or pyrethroids is provided. The pesticidal composition is effective to control plant diseases, as well as insect and mite pests. The composition can be prepared as concentrated or ready-to-use formulations. Formulations can be applied to plants, both indoors and outdoors, to control plant disease and insect and mite pests and reduce plant damage from such pests. The formulations can be applied to plants with minimal phytotoxicity (plant damage) and do not leave unacceptable levels of visible sulfur residue.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 2002Date of Patent: December 28, 2004Assignee: W. Neudorff GmbH KGInventors: Diana L. Parker, George S. Puritch, David S. Almond, Frederick S. Sedun, Cameron D. Wilson
