  • Patent number: 8946122
    Abstract: Stabilized liquid agrochemical compositions are provided which comprise flowable non-aqueous dispersion concentrates comprising a continuous substantially water-miscible liquid phase, a dispersed water-immiscible liquid phase, and a colloidal solid. In one embodiment, the dispersed phase comprises at least one water-sensitive agrochemically active ingredient and the colloidal solid is disposed at the interface between the dispersed phase and the continuous phase. In another embodiment, the water-sensitive agrochemically active ingredient is a solid but is dissolved in an oily liquid present in the dispersed phase, or is a solid and is dispersed within the dispersed phase, or is a solid complex of an agrochemical with a molecular complexing agent and is dispersed within the dispersed phase. The compositions of the invention can be used directly or with dilution to combat pests or as plant growth regulators.

  • Publication number: 20140155265
    Abstract: The invention provides a liquid herbicidal composition in the form of an emulsifiable concentrate, comprising a mixture of: (i) pinoxaden; (ii) a C1-C12alkyl ester or a 2-(C1-C6alkoxy)C2-C4alkyl-ester of fluoroxypyr; and (iii) a built-in phosphate and/or phosphonate adjuvant as defined herein; preferably tris-(2-ethylhexyl) phosphate. The invention also provides a method for controlling and/or inhibiting the growth of weeds from the genus Kochia, comprising applying a liquid herbicidal composition to these weeds or to their locus, at a time after emergence of the weeds, wherein the liquid herbicidal composition comprises a mixture of: (i) pinoxaden; (ii) a ester of fluoroxypyr; and (iii) a built-in phosphate and/or phosphonate adjuvant as defined herein.
