  • Publication number: 20220289963
    Abstract: A composition including a salt of a monocarboxylic acid, and a polyacrylamide polymer that hydrates at a pH of at least approximately 6 in the presence of no more than approximately 40 wt % of the salt of a monocarboxylic acid. The present disclosure also includes a method for producing a homogeneous composition for agrichemical use including the following steps. Obtaining a salt of a monocarboxylic acid. Obtaining a polyacrylamide polymer that hydrolyzes in the presence of no more than 40 wt % (or 30 wt %) of the salt of a monocarboxylic acid at a pH of at least about 6. Combining the polyacrylamide and the monocarboxylic acid salt to produce a homogeneous composition. The polymer of the composition is preferably compatible and stable with formulations of potassium glyphosate and used in a spray mixture. The composition may also contain formulation components such a defoamers, water conditioners, surfactants, biocides, stickers and solvents.

  • Publication number: 20180014537
    Abstract: Compositions and methods for controlling pathogens including nematodes fungi oomycetes and bacteria afflicting a broad variety of crop species by application to soil of a non-phytotoxic formulation of a blend of fatty acids disclosed. The fatty acid compostions are prepared as emulsifiable concentrates and applied directly to the soil or solid growing medium where the plant in need of treatment is growing.
