Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the preparation of dispersions of plant protection agents, wherein at least one active ingredient being metered, in the molten form, into the outlet stream of a jet, which stream contains a solution of the formulation aids. The process is suitable for all active ingredients which form a stable melt and have a melting point above 70.degree. C. The resulting dispersions have advantageous stabilities.

Abstract: Dispersions of 2-methyl-5,6-dihydropyran-3-carboxylic acid anilide and benzimidazole-2-carbamic acid methyl ester or 1-n-butylcarbamoyl-benzimidazole-2-carbamic acid methyl ester in paraffinic mineral oils, liquid triglycerides and/or liquid esters of C.sub.1 to C.sub.12 monoalcohols have a synergistic effect against rust and other fungus diseases. The dispersions are stabilized against crystal growth by adding aluminum chelates of certain hydroxy-quinones, e.g., alizarin.

Abstract: Salts of benzimidazole-carbamic acid esters with certain organic sulfonic and sulfuric acid esters are substantially insoluble in water and soluble in organic solvents. These are valuable fungicides especially suitable for ultra low volume formulations.
