Abstract: A method of stimulating or promoting plant growth includes applying to a crop plant a composition of ipfencarbazone in an amount sufficient to stimulate or promote plant growth. In some aspects, embodiments herein provide methods of stimulating or promoting plant growth comprising applying to a crop plant a composition comprising ipfencarbazone in an amount sufficient to stimulate or promote plant growth.

Abstract: Herbicidal formulations include a combination of an active herbicide, in particular, a cyclohexanedione oxime herbicide, and a stabilizing surfactant. The herbicidal formulations, for example, have improved storage stability. Methods for controlling weeds with the herbicidal formulations are also provided.

Abstract: The invention relates to compositions including an encapsulated triazinyl sulfonylurea. The invention further relates to methods for controlling weeds. The invention additionally provides methods for producing such compositions.

Abstract: An aqueous suspension or slurry (suspension concentrate) contains a synergistic amount of thidiazuron, diuron and surfactants. The aqueous suspension contains surfactants in amounts to obtain a stable suspension or slurry without the use of organic solvents.

Abstract: The present invention relates to selective-herbicidal compositions, characterized in that they contain an effective amount of the compound 2-(2-trifluoromethoxy-phenylsulphonylarninocarbonyl)-4-methyl-5-methoxy-2,4-dihydro-3H-1,2,4-triazol-3-one of the formula (I) and/or of salts of the compound of the formula (I), and to the use of these compositions for the selective control of weeds in crops of cereals, in particular crops of wheat, and to methods for the selective control of weeds in crops of cereals by applying the compositions together with surfactants and/or customary extenders.

Abstract: An apparatus is provided for introducing a discrete, predetermined amount of material into soil at a plurality of predetermined points in the soil which includes a container for holding the material to be introduced into the soil, and tubing in fluid communication with the container at a first end thereof. At least one electrically controlled injector is provided in fluid communication with a second end of the tubing. Also, at least one shank is provided, which includes a base, and an injector mounting member attached to a surface of the base that is adapted for detachably mounting the electrically controlled injector onto the base. In addition, a controller is provided for activating the electrically controlled injector to introduce the material into the soil. Accordingly, enhanced control of the injection of the material into soil is achieved, and maintenance can be performed easily.

Abstract: Systems and methods for injecting materials into soil within a predetermined geographical area are described. One or more tanks store chemicals and a mixing chamber in an injector mixes measured quantities of the chemicals. The mixture is introduced to a stream of water and thence to the soil. A controller monitors the flow of chemicals and the stream of water and causes the injector to release discrete predetermined amounts of the chemical mixture into the soil at a sequence of injection points. The controller can provide a pulsed signal to control the volume and rate of delivery of water. The controller may operate according to a treatment plan.

Abstract: A method for the subsurface application of fertilizers, biologicals, fumigants, non-fumigant pesticides or other chemicals to soil with reduced application rates. Discrete amounts of the materials are injected into the soil at numerous sites along a path during a pass through the soil. At the injection sites, the materials form diffusion patterns which may touch or overlapping with diffusion patterns of adjacent soil injections. The application of materials to soil in this manner maintains optimum efficacy with the use of the least amount of materials necessary per acre of soil.

Abstract: Chemically stable, insecticidally active pellets having a low moisture content and at least about 95% active ingredient are described, as well as a method for manufacturing them. The active ingredient is selected from a class of N-hydrocarboyl phosphoroamidothioate and phosphoroamidodithioate compounds as described in the specification. The pellets generally have a moisture content of about 0.5% by weight or less, preferably less than about 0.3% by weight. The pellets can be produced by one of two types of processes as described in detail, including a high pressure axial extrusion process and a low pressure basket extrusion process.
