Abstract: This invention relates to the use of aromatic phosphate esters of formula (I) wherein R1, R2 and R2 are as defined within the description, as adjuvants in compositions, particularly for agrochemical use, as well to compositions comprising such an aromatic phosphate ester, in combination with at least one agrochemical and optionally at least one surfactant. The invention further extends to methods of making and using such compositions.

Abstract: The invention relates to the use of aromatic esters as adjuvants in compositions, particularly for agrochemical use, as well to compositions comprising such an aromatic ester, in combination with at least one agrochemical and at least one surfactant. The invention further extends to methods of making and using such compositions. In particular the present invention relates to such compositions when formulated as, or comprised by, an emulsion concentrate (EC), an emulsion in water (EW), a suspension of particles in water (SC), a microcapsule formulation (CS), a suspension of particles in the continuous phase of an emulsion (SE), a dispersion concentrate (DC) or an oil suspension (OD).

Abstract: A bioperformance enhancing adjuvant of Formula (I) R1O[BO]n[AO]mR2 where BO is butylene oxide; and each AO is independently propylene oxide or ethylene oxide; n is from 1 to 12; m is from 0 to 20; R1 is optionally substituted C4-20 alkyl or optionally substituted C4-20 alkenyl; and R2 is hydrogen or optionally substituted C1-3 alkyl.

Abstract: An aqueous agrochemical composition and in particular an agrochemical concentrate comprises (a) a non-encapsulated aqueous solution or dispersion of an agrochemical and (b) a suspension in said aqueous solution or dispersion of a microencapsulated liquid, water-insoluble, bioperformance-enhancing adjuvant for said agrochemical. The adjuvant suitably has little or no surfactant properties. The invention permits oil adjuvants such as “Turbocharge” and “Brij 92” to be built into agrochemical compositions with which they would normally be incompatible. With certain adjuvants reduced phytotoxicity may be observed.

Abstract: A composition comprising a compound of formula I CH3CH(OH)CC?O)NR1R2 (I) where R1 and R2 are each independently hydrogen; or C1-6 alkyl, C2-6 alkenyl or C3-6 cycloalkyl, each of which is optionally substituted by up to three substituents independently selected from phenyl, hydroxy, C1-5 alkoxy, morpholinyl and NR3R4 where R3 and R4 are each independently C1-3 alkyl; or phenyl optionally substituted by up to three substituents independently selected from C1-3 alkyl; or R1 and R2 together with the nitrogen atom to which they are attached form a morpholinyl, pyrrolidinyl, piperidinyl or azepanyl ring, each of which is optionally substituted by up to three substituents independently selected from C1-3 alkyl; and at least one agrochemical selected from Othe group consisting of Tri nexepac ethyl, Mandipropamid, Abamcctin and Emamectin, with the proviso that the agrochemical is not abamectin or emamectin when the solvent is N-(B-hydroxyethyl)-lactamide.

Abstract: An adjuvant suitable for use with a lipophilic agrochemical has the formula (I), R1—(CO)m—O—[—R2O—]n—R3, wherein R1 is a C16 to C20 straight or branched chain alkyl or alkenyl group, R2 is ethyl or isopropyl, n is from 8 to 30 and m is 0 or 1 and when R2 is ethyl, R3 is a C1 to C7 alkyl group and when R2 is isopropyl, R3 is hydrogen or a C1 to C7 alkyl group, provided that when R1 is oleyl, R2 is isopropyl and R3 is hydrogen, n is not 10. An adjuvant composition comprising an agrochemical and an adjuvant of formula (I) is also claimed. Adjuvants of the invention show effective bioperformance enhancement despite having little or no surfactant properties.

Abstract: This invention relates to mixtures of triazole compounds and in particular to the use of such mixtures in non-crystallising compositions. It relates to mixtures that are concentrated solutions and also to the use of the concentrated solutions in water diluted form. Furthermore, it relates to the use of such mixtures for agricultural or materials protection purposes and to the use of one triazole compound to prevent or delay crystallisation of a second triazole compound.

Abstract: This invention relates to the use of lactamide compounds of formula (I): CH3CH(OH)C(?O)NR1R2, where R1 and R2 are each independently hydrogen; or C1-6 alkyl, C2-6 alkenyl or C3-6 cycloalkyl, each of which is optionally substituted by up to three substituents independently selected from phenyl, hydroxy, C1-5 alkoxy, morpholinyl and NR3R4 where R3 and R4 are each independently C1-3 alkyl; or phenyl optionally substituted by up to three substituents independently selected from C1-3 alkyl; or R1 and R2 together with the nitrogen atom to which they are attached form a morpholinyl, pyrrolidinyl, piperidinyl or azepanyl ring, each of which is optionally substituted by up to three substituents independently selected from C1-3 alkyl, in formulations to reduce the toxicity associated with other formulation components; to the use of certain lactamide compounds as solvents, especially in formulations, particularly in agrochemical formulations and in environmentally friendly formulations; to novel lactamide compounds; and

Abstract: The formation of undesirable sludge in the course of spraying a solution or dispersion of a water-soluble or water-dispersible solid or a structured gel formulation is reduced by the incorporation in the formulation of a low-density solid particulate material having a density of less than one and a diameter of less than the spray nozzle filter through which it will pass. The low-density solid particulate material is preferably a hollow glass or plastic particle having a density of less than 0.8 g/cm3. The invention is particularly applicable to agrochemical formulations.

Abstract: A granule suitable for aqueous spray application after tank mix dispersion or dissolution comprises an active ingredient or auxiliary agent, an inert filler and a water-swellable material wherein the water-swellable material is incorporated into the granule in a substantially dry form. Preferred water-swellable materials are non-ionic or predominantly non-ionic and an especially preferred water-swellable material is Xantham gum. The granules provide reduced sludge residues in the spray tank and are particularly well suited for use when housed in a water-soluble bag.

Abstract: A new and novel solid, microencapsulated product comprising a microencapsulated material contained within a cast, water-soluble, film-forming polymer and the process for preparing such product is disclosed.
