  • Publication number: 20240423203
    Abstract: The current invention relates to a herbicidal formulation comprising: a herbicide and a polymer, wherein, the polymer is a polyferulate with an average molecular mass higher than 400 g/mol, and the weight ratio of the herbicide over the polymer is between 1:10 and 1000:1. Furthermore, the herbicide is from the chemical family of the phenylpyrazoles, triazolinones, glycines, triazolopyrimidines, cyclohexanediones, pyridiniums, sulfonylureas, carbamates, benzofurans, benzoic acids, bipyridyliums, dinitroanilines, diphenylethers, oxyacetamides, phenoxy-carboxylic-acids, phosphinic acids, pyridine carboxylates, pyridinecarboxamides, uracils or carboxylic acids. The invention also relates to the use of said formulation. The invention furthermore relates to a method for controlling weeds or for aiding harvest (desiccant), whereby said herbicidal formulation is applied in an herbicidally effective amount.

  • Patent number: 8916182
    Abstract: A ‘bioactive’ composition that has one or more oligogalacturonans ((1?4)-?-D-galacturonan) or any other oligosaccharides (oligoguluronans) that may present an ‘egg box’ conformation, this conformation being further stabilized by one or more polycationic saccharide(s), preferably either a chitosan oligosaccharide or a chitosan polysaccharide. A method prepares this composition and it is used, in medical, pharmaceutical, agricultural, nutraceutical, food, feed, textile, cosmetic, industrial and/or environmental applications.
