  • PROCESSING COMPOSITION FOR CONTROLLING AQUATIC WEEDS
    Publication number: 20190208782
    Abstract: A method for controlling aquatic weeds as disclosed. The method includes treating a body of water, such as a lake, with a fluroxypyr derivative herbicide. The fluroxypyr derivative herbicide may be a fluroxypyr ester or a fluroxypyr salt.
    Type: Application

    Inventors: Ryan M. Wersal, Brian Sook
  • Granular plant control composition
    Patent number: 10123531
    Abstract: A plant or algae control composition is disclosed. The composition contains a herbicide and/or algaecide adsorbed onto a solid carrier. The composition may comprise a free-flowing granular product. The solid carrier contains a mixture of different clay materials. Two different clay materials are combined that synergistically mix together to allow for greater amounts of the herbicide or algaecide to be adsorbed onto the particles. The composition is particularly well suited for treating aquatic environments.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 20, 2015
    Date of Patent: November 13, 2018
    Assignee: Arch Chemicals, Inc.
    Inventors: James Charles Schmidt, John Weber, Ryan M. Wersal
  • Plant control composition containing peptide enhancing agent
    Patent number: 10010076
    Abstract: A plant or algae control composition is disclosed. The composition contains a herbicide and/or algaecide combined with an amplifying agent. The amplifying agent may comprise a polypeptide, such as a protein. The amplifying agent is added in an amount sufficient for the efficacy of the herbicide and/or algaecide to be improved. For instance, the presence of the amplifying agent allows for the herbicide and/or algaecide to be used at lower concentrations but have the same potency.
