  • Patent number: 9814233
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition comprising a pesticide, a surfactant and an alkoxylate. Moreover, the invention relates to a concentrate comprising the surfactant and the alkoxylate; and to a process for preparing the composition by bringing into contact the concentrate and a pesticide; or by bringing into contact the pesticide, the surfactant and the alkoxylate; and to the use of the surfactant by addition to a mixture comprising the pesticide and the alkoxylate. The invention furthermore relates to a method of controlling phytopathogenic fungi and/or undesired vegetation and/or undesired insect or mite attack and/or for regulating the growth of plants, wherein the composition is allowed to act on the respective pests, their environment or the plants to be protected from the respective pest, on the soil and/or on undesirable plants and/or the crop plants and/or their environment. Furthermore, the invention relates to seed comprising the composition.

  • Patent number: 9681661
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for controlling parasitic weeds, comprising applying to the host plant, the weeds and/or their habitat herbicidal mixtures or compositions comprising one, two or three acetolactate synthase (ALS) inhibitor(s) and one, two or three plant growth regulator(s) (PGR) which act as ethylene modulators. The present invention also relates to a method for improving the yield of the crop plant comprising applying to the host plant, and/or their habitat mixtures comprising components as defined herein. The present invention also relates to herbicidal mixtures comprising one, two or three acetolactate synthase (ALS) inhibitor(s) selected from imazamox or tribenuron-methyl and one, two or three plant growth regulator(s) (PGR) selected from prohexadione, prohexadione-calcium, trinexapac or trinexapac-ethyl, compositions comprising said mixtures and their use for the control of parasitic weeds.
