Abstract: A surfactant composition comprising a nonionic surfactant and a supra-amphiphile comprising one or more gemini-like and/or oligomeric-like surfactants, and a method of producing such.

Abstract: In agricultural practice it is known to use emulsifiable oils (commonly referred to a Crop Oil Concentrates, COC) as bioefficacy enhancers for pesticides, especially herbicides. Cationic surfactants are widely known to be particularly effective bio-active enhancers for herbicides, especially for glyphosate-type herbicides. The present invention includes two novel aspects: 1) While the vast majority of COCs are petroleum-based paraffinic oils or esterified seed oils, this invention embodies a new oil phase, a hydrocarbon oil such exemplified by EXXON-MOBIL'S D-130, which when combined with the surfactants described herein, exhibits surprising enhancement of herbicidal activity in field tests; and 2) COC's are designed to form stable emulsions in water. The combination of cationic surfactants and phosphate esters in this invention not only form very stable emulsions in water, but, surprisingly, also form extremely stable emulsions in concentrated liquid fertilizers, including 32-0-0 fertilizer.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention disclose an agricultural composition that is a field ready spray or a tank mix that includes at least one isethionic acid salt neutralized with sodium, at least one agriculturally active ingredient, and at least one surfactant.

Abstract: The present invention provides an adjuvant blend that includes an alkyl ester obtained from the reaction of acidulated soap stock with a C3-C20 alcohol and a nonionic surfactant. The adjuvant blend may be incorporated into pesticide formulations and applied to target substrates to kill, inhibit, or repel pests.

Abstract: A formulation having a slightly water soluble ingredient and method for preparing the same are disclosed. The millbase formulation comprises a slightly water soluble ingredient and a dispersant comprising a water soluble or water dispersible, derivative of an alternating copolymer or a salt thereof. The alternating copolymer comprises a residue of a first comonomer and a residue of a second comonomer. In addition, the first comonomer comprises an ?,?-unsaturated oxyacid, or an anhydride or other derivative thereof. Moreover, the second comonomer comprises an olefinic compound containing one or more polymerizable double bonds, or a derivative thereof. Such formulations may be used to inhibit Ostwald ripening in agricultural as well as non-agricultural applications.

Abstract: A method of enhancing inhibition of plant growth comprising mixing a herbicide and an adjuvant to form a herbicidal mixture and applying the herbicidal mixture to the plant, wherein the adjuvant is isopropylammonium sulfate.

Abstract: Disclosed are novel thickened organic fluid/surfactant compositions that are uniform, flowable and dispersible in water. Also disclosed are novel pesticidal compositions comprising a pesticide and the novel thickened organic fluid/surfactant composition.
