Abstract: High aspect ratio polymeric particles as seed treatments.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for generating polymeric particles which comprise one or more active ingredients. The invention also relates to the use of such polymeric particles as a seed treatment. The present technology provides an improved seed treatment suitable for applying plant propagation materials. The seed treatment of the present technology includes the use of high aspect-ratio particles as a seed treatment. The present technology has been found to have advantageous properties associated with the seed treatment including increased adherence of the formulation to the seed and reduced tendency to dust off.

Abstract: Stabilized liquid agrochemical compositions are provided that comprise flowable, nonaqueous dispersion concentrates comprising a) a continuous non-aqueous liquid phase; b) at least one dispersed, solid phase comprising a dispersion of polymer particles wherein the outside surfaces of the particles comprise a colloidal solid material and wherein the particles have at least one chemical agent distributed therein. The colloidal solid is present in an amount effective to stabilize the polymer particles in an emulsion state during the process which is used to prepare the dispersed phase. When the chemical agents are agriculturally active ingredients, the compositions of the invention can be used directly or with dilution to combat pests or as plant growth regulators.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a herbicidal composition comprising glyphosate, diquat, prodiamine and ammonium sulfate. The invention also relates to a method of controlling the growth of weeds and to the use of this composition.

Abstract: A flow identifier is stored in a memory to identify a network flow. The memory is capable of storing multiple flow identifiers for multiple flows. Packet statistics are collected for each of the flows. The packet statistics are compared and a flow identifier is subsequently selected and removed from the memory.

Abstract: A traffic selector table for a network switch is populated with one or more entries that each identifies a tiered service. A traffic flow that matches an entry in the table is identified by the switch. The matched traffic flow is redirected to an intrusion prevention device to determine whether the traffic presents a threat to the network. The switch detects a condition in network traffic flowing through the switch. The traffic selector table is dynamically modified in response to the detected condition.

Abstract: A low-foaming herbicidal composition comprises glyphosate and a poly(alkylene oxide)alkanol having the formula R1R2CH—R3—(OR4)n—OH (I) wherein R1 and R2 are methyl or ethyl, R3 is a straight chain alkylene group containing from 5 to 12 carbon atoms, R4 is an alkylene group containing 2 or 3 carbon atoms and n is from 4 to 20. Especially preferred is ethoxylated, propoxylated or mixed alkoxylated/propoxylated iso-tridecyl alcohol wherein the degree of alkoxylation is from 6 to 14, for example iso-tridecyl alcohol having 8 polyethylene oxide units. Preferred compositions additionally contain an alkylglycoside.
