Abstract: Subject matter of the present invention is an emulsifiable concentrate comprising a water-insoluble pesticide, an alkyl lactate, and a lactamide of the formula (I) as defined herein. The invention further relates to a process for the preparation of said concentrate; an emulsion obtainable by mixing water, a water-insoluble pesticide, the alkyl lactate and the lactamide of the formula (I); and to a method for controlling phytopathogenic fungi and/or undesired vegetation and/or undesired attack by insects or mites and/or for regulating the growth of plants, where the concentrate or the emulsion is allowed to act on the respective pests, their environment or on the crop plants to be protected from the respective pests, on the soil and/or on undesired plants and/or on the crop plants and/or their environment.

Abstract: Subject matter of the present invention is an emulsifiable concentrate comprising a water-insoluble pesticide, an alkyl benzoate, and an amide of the formula (I) as defined herein. The invention further relates to a process for the preparation of said concentrate; an emulsion obtainable by mixing water, a water-insoluble pesticide, the alkyl benzoate, and the amide; and to a method for controlling phytopathogenic fungi and/or undesired vegetation and/or undesired attack by insects or mites and/or for regulating the growth of plants, where the concentrate or the emulsion is allowed to act on the respective pests, their environment or on the crop plants to be protected from the respective pests, on the soil and/or on undesired plants and/or on the crop plants and/or their environment.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a use of a graft copolymer obtainable by free-radical polymerization of a monomer mixture comprising N-vinyllactam, vinyl ester, and a polyether for increasing the activity of a pesticide. The invention also relates to a composition comprising a pesticide and a graft copolymer obtainable by free-radical polymerization of a monomer mixture comprising i) 30 to 80% by weight of N-vinylpyrrolidone, N-vinylcaprolactam or mixtures thereof, ii) 10 to 50% by weight of vinyl acetate, and iii) 10 to 50% by weight of a polyether. It further relates to a method for preparing said composition by mixing the pesticide and the graft copolymer and to a method for controlling phytopathogenic fungi and/or undesired plant growth and/or undesired attack by insects or mites and/or for regulating the growth of plants.
