Patent number: 5354742Abstract: The invention is directed to a pesticide composition comprising free flowing, essentially spherical, water-dispersible granules wherein said water-dispersible granules are from about 150 to about 850 microns in diameter; wherein said granules contain up to about 8.0% by weight moisture; wherein each individual water-dispersible granule is an aggregation of individual spherical microcapsules which contain at least one water-insoluble pesticide within a polymeric shell wall; and wherein said water-dispersible granule disintegrates upon contact with water to release said individual microcapsules.The invention also relates to dry flowable pesticidal formulations of the above water-dispersible granules, together with formulation adjuvants.The invention is further directed to a process for preparing a water-dispersible granule by spary drying an aqueous suspension comprising discrete microcapsules containing at least one water-insoluble pesticide within a polymeric shell wall suspended in an aqueous liquid.Type: GrantFiled: October 14, 1988Date of Patent: October 11, 1994Assignee: Monsanto CompanyInventors: John M. Deming, John M. Surgant, Sr.

Patent number: 4936901Abstract: The invention herein relates to dry flowable water-dispersible granular formulations and to a process for the preparation thereof.In particular, the water-dispersible granular formulations of this invention comprise a mixture of aggregates of microcapsules of water-insoluble pesticide, e.g., alachlor, or a plant growth regulant encapsulated within a polymeric shell wall and at least one other pesticide, e.g., atrazine or a salt of glyphosate, which is non-encapsulated.The water-dispersible granular formulations of the invention are prepared by mixing appropriate quantities of an aqueous dispersion of the encapsulated component, the non-encapsulated component and formulation adjuvants to form a slurry of the desired viscosity which can be directly extruded than dried or the slurry in more dilute, less viscous form may be spray dried, or agglomerated in fluid beds or rotating disc agglomerators.Type: GrantFiled: June 16, 1987Date of Patent: June 26, 1990Assignee: Monsanto CompanyInventors: John M. Surgant, Sr., John M. Deming

Patent number: 4544693Abstract: The present invention is directed to water-soluble film comprising:______________________________________ Component % By Weight ______________________________________ Polyvinyl Alcohol 40-75 Polyvinyl Pyrrolidone 7.5-43 Ethoxylated Alkyphenol 7-20 Polyhydric Alcohol 7-20 ______________________________________The cold water-soluble packaging films formed from the compositions of this invention are useful for packaging of agricultural chemicals which are in granule or dust form. By containing such water dispersable granule or dust agricultural chemicals in water-soluble bag films of this invention, one is able to avoid the problem of dust which may be irritating and/or toxic to the user. Specific examples of agricultural chemicals which are usually packaged in pre-measured portions in the water-soluble films of the present invention are insecticides, herbicides, nematocides, fungicides, plant growth regulants and herbicidal antidotes.Type: GrantFiled: January 3, 1984Date of Patent: October 1, 1985Assignee: Monsanto CompanyInventor: John M. Surgant
