Abstract: The present invention provides a method of increasing the concentration of an active ingredient in an agrochemical formulation while maintaining the flowability of the agrochemical formulation. The present invention also provides an agrochemical formulation produced by the disclosed methods and plant propagation material treated with the agrochemical formulation.

Abstract: The present invention provides a liquid formulation comprising a) a triazole an/or pyrazole fungicide; and b) at least one cyclodextrin compound. The present invention also provides a method for inhibiting degradation of a triazole fungicide in a liquid formulation, comprising (a) packaging the formulation in a suitable container; (b) reducing oxygen exposure of the triazole fungicide in the formulation as compared to oxygen exposure of the triazole fungicide when the formulation is in contact with air; and (c) closing or sealing the container.

Abstract: The disclosure provides for agrochemical compositions comprising a succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor and a polymeric crystal growth inhibitor. The disclosure further provides for methods of reducing crystal growth in agriculturally-active compounds in an agrochemical composition. In yet a further aspect, the disclosure provides for methods of utilizing an agrochemical composition comprising a succinate inhibitor and a polymeric crystal growth inhibitor to control pests in a plant or crop.

Abstract: The present invention relates to preparation of highly efficient chiral recyclable homogeneous catalysts generated in situ by the reaction of chiral oligomeric [H4] ligands and a metal salt taken in 1:1 molar ratio for asymmetric nitroaldol reaction, wherein nitroaldol reactions of various aldehydes such as aromatic, aliphatic ?,?-unsaturated aldehydes, alicyclic aldehydes and nitroalkenes were carried out to produce optically active ?-nitroalcohols in high yield and with moderate to excellent enantioselectivity (ee up to >95%) in presence of a base and an optically active chiral recyclable homogeneous catalyst represented by the following formula (I).

Abstract: The present invention provides a multifunctional nanocomposite with at least two components, at least one component of which is a nanoparticle that includes a polymer.
