Abstract: The present invention relates to novel aqueous N-acyl glycinate compositions wherein the said compositions are free-flowing, pumpable, phase-stable on long-term storage, and processable at sub-zero temperatures; more specifically below ?5° C. The present invention also relates to the use of these aqueous N-acyl glycinate compositions in preparing isotropic aqueous skin and hair cleansing formulations such as body wash, shower gels, shampoos, and other.
Abstract: Compositions and method for producing a systemic acquired response (SAR) in plants. The resulting SAR may improve plant health and corresponding yields. In an example, the composition comprises a base solution and an effective amount of chitosan (Aspergillus niger) (e.g., in an amount of about 0.04 wt % of the composition). The base solution may include organic material, vitamin K compound, and nitrogen. Additionally or alternatively, the composition may include adding to the composition at least one of potassium, phosphorus, or an acidic organic polymer. Still further, the composition may include a micronutrient comprising at least one of boron, calcium, copper, iron, manganese, sulfur, silicon, or zinc. The composition may be applied as a foliar spray or used to irrigate the plant.
Abstract: This invention relates to a mixture of an alkyl polyglucoside with a (biological performance improving) adjuvant which is a non-ionic surfactant, the mixture improving the biological performance of an agrochemical. The biological performance effect of the alkyl polyglucoside is poorer than the partner adjuvant but the biological performance effect of the mixture is as good as that delivered by a much larger amount of that better, partner adjuvant alone.

Abstract: Herbicidal mixtures comprising an auxin herbicide and an adjuvant comprising a salt having a quaternary ammonium cation and/or a phosphonium cation are described. The adjuvant reduces the volatility of the auxin herbicide and/or counteracts the negative impact on the volatility of the auxin herbicide caused by the addition of a co-herbicide. Methods of preparing the herbicidal mixtures are also described.
Abstract: Agricultural compositions that employ structured surfactant systems to suspend water-insoluble or sparingly soluble agricultural actives and/or adjuvants are disclosed. Also disclosed are agricultural compositions that combine structured surfactant systems with electrolytes to form structured electrolyte compositions. The structured surfactant systems, both with and without electrolyte, suspend one or more agricultural actives and/or crop oil and non-aqueous adjuvants to provide agricultural compositions that can combine combinations of actives in a single, stable composition.

Abstract: A herbicidal composition comprising; (A) 3-[[[5-(difluoromethoxy)-1-methyl-3-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-pyra-zol-4-yl]methyl]-sulfonyl]-4,5-dihydro-5,5-dimethyl-isoxazole, or a herbicidally effective salt; and (B) a second herbicide selected from; (B1) 4-hydroxy-3-[[2-[(2-methoxyethoxy)methyl]-6-(trifluoromethyl)-3-pyridinyl]carbonyl]-bicyclo[3.2.1]oct-3-en-2-one, (B2) tembotrione, and (B3) topramezone, or their herbicidally effective salts.
Abstract: The present invention provides a synergistic composition of a nematicide comprising of combination of chalcones, chalcone 17 and chalcone 25, or chalcone 17 and chalcone 30 with potent nematicidal and nematostatic properties. The chalcones individually show 100% nematicidal activity at a concentration as high as 10?2-10?3 M, whereas, the combination of chalcone 17 and chalcone 25, or chalcone 17 and chalcone 30, show 100% nematicidal activity at concentration as low as 10?4-10?6 M bringing a synergistic effect, wherein the ratio of the chalcones is 1:1. These combinations of the chalcones also show potent nematostatic activity compared to each chalcone individually. This synergistic nematicidal composition is environmentally safe and non-toxic to humans and animals.
Abstract: A method of weed control is provided. The method comprises artificially pollinating at least one weed species of interest with pollen of the same species that reduces fitness of said at least one weed species of interest. Also provided are compositions and kits which can be used for performing the methods described herein.
Abstract: The present invention relates to microparticle compositions comprising saflufenacil, to a method of their preparation and to the use of these microparticle compositions for controlling undesired vegetation. In the microparticle compositions saflufenacil is present in the form of microparticles, which comprise solid saflufenacil, which is surrounded or embedded by an aminoplast polymer.

Abstract: The invention discloses a synergist for improving crop resistance and fertilizer absorption capacity. The synergist includes the following components by weight: 20-30 parts of an oyster shell powder, 20-30 parts of a water chestnut skin powder, 10-20 parts of a chinaberry bark powder, 10-20 parts of a magnetic material, 10-20 parts of an illite powder, 5-10 parts of a shiitake mushroom polysaccharide extract. The synergist can, on one hand, improve the resistance of crops, especially reducing the pests and diseases significantly, improving waterlogging and drought resistance; and, on the other hand, greatly reduce the use of fertilizers, especially nitrogen fertilizers, preventing soil compaction. It can also significantly increase the content of active polysaccharides, especially ?-glucan in crops. In addition, the raw materials are readily available, the cost is low, and there are significant economic benefits.
