  • Publication number: 20230363388
    Abstract: The invention relates to a liquid dispersion comprising (i) at least one growth regulator which has a solubility in vegetable oil of about 0.1 wt % or less; (ii) an organic hydrophobic carrier, preferably a vegetable oil, hydrocarbon oil or paraffin oil, or a derivative thereof; wherein the at least one growth regulator which is insoluble or unstable in water, is present in the liquid dispersion in an amount exceeding 0.1 wt %; and wherein more than 90% of the particles of said growth regulator has a particle size of between 1-7 ?m; wherein the dispersion further comprises (iii) an emulsifier which stabilizes the dispersion in the organic carrier, and which causes the concentrate to be water miscible and self-emulsifying when diluted in water in a suitable dilution, such as for example a 1:50 dilution or higher dilution; wherein the dispersion is essentially water free.

  • Patent number: 9265250
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a concentrate, comprising: a) 100 to 400 g/l of a dinitroaniline; b) 5 to 100 g/l of an imidazolinone ammonium salt or substituted ammonium salt; c) 20 to 100 g/l of water; d) 15 to 150 g/l of an anionic surface-active substance which has at least one sulfonic acid group; e) 5 to 100 g/l of a polymeric, nonionic surface-active substance which has at least one polyethylene oxide group and at least one radical selected from poly-C3-C4-alkylene oxide groups; f) 50 to 250 g/l of a nonionic surface-active substance selected from ethoxylated fatty acid esters of polyhydroxyl compounds, alkyl polyglucosides, ethoxylated C4-C16-alkylphenols and ethoxylated C8-C22-alkanols; g) a hydrocarbon solvent ad 1 l; where the quantitative data of components a) to f) in g/l are based on the total volume of the active ingredient concentrate.
