  • Publication number: 20240237644
    Abstract: The disclosure concerns an oil flowable formulation comprising a first active compound having a structure and a lipophilic solvent, a first dispersant, and a rheology modifier. The formulation comprises particles of the first active compound having a median particle size, as measured by light scattering, of from 0.1 to 20 microns. The formulation may also comprise an emulsifier, a second dispersant, and/or an agriculturally active compound, such as an acaricide, antimicrobial, fungicide, herbicide, insecticide, molluscicide, or nematocide, or a combination thereof. Also disclosed are agricultural compositions comprising the formulation and methods of using the same.

  • Patent number: 5885603
    Abstract: This invention relates to novel biopesticidal compositions comprising an active insecticidal ingredient selected from insecticidal bacteria and viruses such as B. thuringiensis crystal protein or spores or mixtures thereof and baculoviruses such as nuclear polyhedrosis viruses, granulosis viruses and non-occluded viruses; a polymer; and an inorganic light blocking agent wherein the light blocking agent protects the active ingredient from both ultraviolet light and sunlight and the polymer forms a matrix in which the active ingredient and light blocking agent are dispersed therein. Methods for producing the biopesticidal compositions and methods of controlling insects are also included within the scope of the invention.
