Patent number: 9247730Abstract: Pest controlling compositions exhibiting enhanced pesticidal activity levels and methods for preparing the same are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method includes providing a liquid composition that includes at least one pesticide and at least one co-ingredient that enhances pesticidal activity of the composition compared to a composition dissimilar only in not having the at least one co-ingredient. The at least one co-ingredient may include at least one metal oxide, a combination of at least transition metal salt and at least one proteinaceous material or a combination of at least one proteinaceous material and at least one polymeric material. The method further includes spray drying the liquid composition to provide a solid composition. In one aspect of this embodiment, the solid composition provided by the spray drying exhibits enhanced pesticidal activity compared to the liquid composition.Type: GrantFiled: June 19, 2014Date of Patent: February 2, 2016Assignee: Dow AgroSciences LLCInventors: Stephen L. Wilson, Lei Liu, James D. Thomas, Raymond E. Boucher, Jr., James E. Dripps, Margaret S. Kempe, Martin C. Logan, Douglas J. Linscott, John M. Atkinson

Patent number: 8911758Abstract: Insecticide formulations having improved chemical and physical stability and related methods are disclosed. The insecticide formulations may include a plurality of microcapsules, each including at least one organophosphate insecticide (e.g., chlorpyrifos-methyl) at least partially surrounded by a polymer shell. The insecticide formulations may be used to control insect populations by singular or periodic applications. The microcapsule polymer shell of the insecticide formulations may be formed by combining a cross-linking amine and a hydrophobic monomer (e.g., an isocyanate) at a molar ratio of amine to isocyanate groups of less than about 1:1.Type: GrantFiled: February 10, 2012Date of Patent: December 16, 2014Assignee: Dow AgroSciences, LLC.Inventors: Dennis G. Wujek, Raymond E. Boucher, Jr., Martin C. Logan, Stephen L. Wilson, Mei Li, Lorenzo Aulisa
