Abstract: Described herein are microemulsion compositions including topramezone and, in particular, microemulsion compositions of topramezone that are amenable as a ready to use solution or in the form of a spray. Also described herein is the use of these compositions for controlling undesirable vegetation, in crops and non-crops.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is an aqueous composition including at least one agriculturally active compound, at least one fertilizer and a compatibilizer blend. Further disclosed herein is a method of making an aqueous composition. The aqueous composition disclosed herein is stable.

Abstract: A treated medium for plant growth includes (A) a medium for plant growth and (B) a water retaining composition disposed on the medium. The composition also includes (1) an alcohol alkoxylate, (2) water, (3) a surfactant, and (4) a humectant. The (1) alcohol alkoxylate has the structure: R-(EO)m—(PO)n-(EO)y—(PO)z—OH in which R is a C3-C14 linear or branched aliphatic carbon chain, EO is ethylene oxide, m is from 0 to 20, y is from 0 to 20, PO is propylene oxide, n is from 1 to 40, z is from 0 to 40, and (m+y) is at least 1. The (3) surfactant and (4) humectant are chosen from specific compounds. The treated medium has a water retention of from 100 to 400 grams of water per 100 grams of treated medium as compared to a control medium that is free of the water retaining composition.

Abstract: A lubricant composition comprising an oil of lubricating viscosity and about 0.01 to about 5 percent by weight of a (thio)phosphoric acid salt (“phos-amine salt”) of at least one hydrocarbyl amine. The hydrocarbyl amine may be a hindered hydrocarbyl amine, an aromatic hydrocarbyl amine, or a combination thereof.

Abstract: Described herein is an aqueous herbicidal composition including topramezone. Also described herein is an aqueous solution of topramezone in a buffer solution with or without adjuvants. Also described herein is a method of using these compositions for controlling undesirable vegetation in crops and non-crops.
