Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of controlling plant diseases caused by phytopathogenic microorganisms, comprising a step of applying a fungicidal composition comprising a compound of formula [1] or a salt thereof.

Abstract: A process for preparing a compound represented by Formula [1], the process comprising a step of hydrolyzing a compound represented by Formula [2] under an acidic or basic condition, and a step of reacting a compound represented by Formula [3] with a metal acetate salt, and a step of halogenating a compound represented by Formula [4]; a process for preparing a compound represented by Formula [1] comprising a step of reacting a compound represented by Formula [3] with a metal acetate salt, and then, adding alcohol, water, or base to the reaction solution to perform reaction; a process for preparing a compound represented by Formula [1] comprising a step of reacting a compound represented by Formula [3] under a presence or absence of a base, an ionic liquid and a metal sulfate salt, in water or a mixed solvent of water and an organic solvent; a compound represented by Formula [2] or a salt of the same; and a compound represented by Formula [3] or a salt of the same.

Abstract: Formulations comprising compounds obtainable from a neem extract and/or biomass and at least one water-soluble organosilicone surfactant, and methods of making and using such formulations are provided.

Abstract: Liquid compositions of chemically unstable pesticides and methods of using the same are provided.

Abstract: Sulfhydryl odors in organothiophosphate formulations are suppressed by treatment of the thiophosphate compound (e.g., bensulide) during preparation of the formulation with a selected emulsifier agent, ethoxylated tallow amine. The amine and any reacting products resulting from the treatment are retained in the final formulation. The amine will continue to react with the mercaptan and other sulfhydryl compounds formed by the continuing degradation of the thiophosphate compound, thereby providing further odor control.

Abstract: Formulations and methods of bird aversion including flutolanil are provided. Birds are repelled by treating a bird-consumption product with a formulation that includes an effective amount of flutolanil, which formulation typically ranges from between 0.25 to 2 percent weight/weight of flutolanil.

Abstract: The invention provides agrochemical soil-applied granular compositions including sulfonamide herbicides that are both chemically and physically stable and methods of making and applying these granular compositions.
