  • Patent number: 9693551
    Abstract: The present invention relates to non-aqueous pesticidal dispersible concentrate formulations comprising from about 2 to about 10% of at least one pesticidal agent, from about 15 to about 25% of hexylene glycol, from about 65 to about 75% of propylene glycol, a hydrophobic silica, and a surfactant, wherein the weight percentages are based on the total weight of the formulation. Formulations of the present invention have superior storage stability but are non-phytotoxic to seeds when used as a seed treatment. The present invention also relates to ready-to-use products made from the concentrated formulations of the present invention. Further, the present invention includes methods of using the pesticidal dispersible concentrate formulations and ready-to-use products to achieve superior plant protection and disease control.
