Abstract: The present invention relates to a microemulsion comprising (A) 0.1 to 50% by weight of at least one active ingredient, (B) 0.5 to 40% by weight of at least one solvent which is fully miscible with water, (C) 10 to 40% by weight of at least one nonionic surfactant, (D) 0 to 10% by weight of further additives, (E) 10 to 90% by weight of water and (F) 0.1 to 60% by weight of at least one solvent which is partially miscible with water, in each case based on the total microemulsion, where the total of the amounts of components A, B, C, D, E and F is 100% by weight and where the microemulsion does not comprise any anionic surfactants, and to a process for the preparation of this microemulsion and to the use of this microemulsion for the treatment of plants.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a formulation comprising (a) at least one pesticide; and (b) at least one non-ionic surfactant of formula (I): R1—O-(AO)x—(H); wherein R1 represents straight-chain or branched alkyl having 4 to 20 carbon atoms; AO is ethyleneoxy, propyleneoxy or a mixture of ethyleneoxy and propyleneoxy; and x correspond to values from 2 to 30; and (c) at least one ionic tristyrylphenyl alkoylate; and (d) at least one oil; and (e) water, wherein the pesticide is present in the aqueous phase in form of a suspension and the oil is essentially free of pesticide.
