  • Patent number: 9161532
    Abstract: The invention is directed to emulsifiable oil suspension concentrate formulations containing cinnamaldehyde (cinnamic aldehyde) and allicin that are effective in protecting plants from pests, especially nematodes, and methods of their use.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 2, 2012
    Date of Patent: October 20, 2015
    Assignee: Valent BioSciences Corporation

  • Publication number: 20140323583
    Abstract: The present invention relates to agricultural emulsion concentrates which form stable oil-in-water emulsions when diluted with water. More specifically, the invention relates to stable oil-in-water emulsions which include cinnamaldehyde and diallyl disulfide with a Calsogen® EH and Surfonic® CO 36 emulsion system. The increased stability of the emulsion allows for efficient mixing of the emulsion ingredients and effective storage and application of the cinnamaldehyde and diallyl disulfide to areas in need of nematode protection or treatment.

  • Patent number: 8334002
    Abstract: The invention generally relates to mixtures of cinnamaldehyde (cinnamic aldehyde) and allicin (10%) in emulsifiable suspension formulations at ratios ranging from 1:1 to 20:1 for protecting plants from damage by nematodes, fungal pathogens, insects and mites. The nematicidal compositions described are easily flowable, easily mixable in water and have low volatility and exhibit no phytotoxicity. Methods of applying the compositions for agriculture use are disclosed.

  • Patent number: 8273389
    Abstract: The invention relates to diallyl disulfide and cinnamon oil formulations, for protecting plants from nematodes and other plant pathogens. The invention provides a method for suppressing plant damage by nematodes and other plant pathogens, which comprises the concurrent administration, to the locus, soil or seeds of plants in need of such treatment, of (a) cinnamon oil (and/or its component cinnamaldehyde), (b) an effective quantity of diallyl disulfide, as well as nematocidal compositions useful therein.
