Abstract: The present invention relates to a aqueous composition containing a suspended pesticide A, and microcapsules comprising a shell and a core, wherein the core contains a pesticide B and an aprotic, polar solvent B, and the shell contains poly(meth)acrylate, which comprises C1-C24 alkyl esters of acrylic and/or methacrylic acid, acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, and/or maleic acid in polymerized form. The invention further relates to a method for preparing said composition comprising the mixing of the pesticide A, water and the microcapsules, to said microcapsule, wherein the core contains the pesticide B and a solvent A, wherein the weight ratio of the pesticide B to the sum of all solvents in the core is from 1:1 to 1:10, and wherein the microcapsule contains up to 7 wt % poly(meth)acrylate, based on the total amount of all pesticides in the core, all solvents in the core, and the poly(meth)acrylate.

Abstract: A system for protecting stored goods in a storage room, having one or more storage constructions formed by one or more pesticide treated nets (30, 31), capable of enclosing the stored goods, where the storage construction further includes a support frame, means for suspending the support frame, means for opening and closing at least one section of the storage construction while the support frame is in a suspended state, and means for avoiding an overall structural collapse if a net gets entangled. The system is particularly useful for the storage of tobacco, coffee, dried fruits, cocoa, nuts, tea, cereals and spices.

Abstract: The present invention relates to microcapsules comprising a polyurea shell and a core, which contains a pesticide, a water-immiscible solvent A and at least 5 wt % of an aprotic, polar solvent B, which has a solubility in water from 0.5 to 20 g/l at 20° C., based on the total weight of the solvents in the core. It further relates to microcapsules comprising a shell and a core, which contains a pesticide and 2-heptanone; to a method for preparing said microcapsules; to an aqueous composition comprising said microcapsules; and to a method for controlling phytopathogenic fungi and/or undesired plant growth and/or undesired attack by insects or mites and/or for regulating the growth of plants, with said microcapsules.

Abstract: A system for protecting stored goods (50) in a storage room (1), comprises one or more storage constructions (2) formed by one or more pesticide treated nets (30, 31), capable of enclosing the stored goods (50), wherein the storage construction (2) further comprises a support frame (10), means for suspending the support frame (35), means for opening and closing at least one section (13) of the storage construction (2) while the support frame (10) is in a suspended state, and means for avoiding an overall structural collapse (32) if a net (30, 31) gets entangled.

It further relates to microcapsules comprising a shell and a core, which contains a pesticide and 2-heptanone; to a method for preparing said mircocapsules; to an aqueous composition comprising said microcapsules; and to a method for controlling phytopathogenic fungi and/or undesired plant growth and/or undesired attack by insects or mites and/or for regulating the growth of plants, with said mircocapsules.

Abstract: A system for protecting stored goods in a container (10), comprises a cage-like structure (20) formed by at least one pesticide treated net (22), capable of enclosing the stored goods, wherein the cage like structure (20), further comprises means for suspending the pesticide treated nets (14, 28, 30, 32, 34), and means for opening and closing the cage-like structure (26) on at least one section (24) of the at least one net (22). The system is particularly useful for the transport of tobacco, coffee, dried fruits, cocoa, nuts, tea, cereals, vegetables, spices and animals.
