Methods for Use of Tetraalkyl Ammonium Halide Compositions as Post-emergence Higher Plant Herbicides
Publication number: 20120245028Abstract: Tetraalkyl ammonium halides are applied to a broad range of undesirable terrestrial plants for fast and effective herbicidal activity. It is desirable to use a herbicidally effective amount of the chemical formula R1R2N(+)R3R4 X(?), wherein, R1 and R2 are each independently C1 to C4 alkyl; R3 and R4 are each independently C8 to C16 alkyl; X is chloride or bromide. This herbicide may be used alone, or in combination with at least one additional herbicide.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 22, 2012Publication date: September 27, 2012Inventor: James B. Nabors -
Patent number: 8268749Abstract: Aqueous herbicidal glyphosate compositions are provided, particularly sprayable, ready-to-use (RTU) formulations that are capable of inducing early visually apparent phytotoxic effects while minimizing antagonism to the glyphosate component of the composition and preserving the equally desirable attribute of prolonged control of the treated plants. The compositions combine a glyphosate component and a fatty acid component as a fast symptomology active ingredient and, in one embodiment, are enhanced by the concentration of the fatty acid component utilized and the inclusion of an agronomically acceptable inorganic ammonium salt, preferably ammonium sulfate. In another embodiment, the compositions of the present invention include a nonionic surfactant component comprising certain water-soluble, alkoxylated alcohols.Type: GrantFiled: September 15, 2005Date of Patent: September 18, 2012Assignee: Monsanto Technology LLCInventors: Daniel R. Wright, Joseph J. Sandbrink, Paul G. Ratliff, Bryan A. Kliewer, Dawn Y. Wyse-Pester

Patent number: 8263530Abstract: The invention refers a new formulation of fluoroxypyr or chlorpyrifos or diflufenican microencapsulated and in the form of water dispersable granules or as a part of a ZC formulation. Further the invention refers to water dispersable granules containing microcapsules that enclose fluoroxypyr and at the same time the WDG have also sulfonylureas outside of the microcapsules. Further we provide formulations in the form of SC or ZC of the aforementioned active ingredients and its combinations. Also fluoroxypyr may be replaced by any agrochemical of any biological activity that is solid at room temperature and melts below 110° C. Mixtures of actives of such formulations are also contemplated.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 2007Date of Patent: September 11, 2012Assignee: GAT Microencapsulation AGInventors: Victor Casaña Giner, Miguel Gimeno Sierra, Barbara Gimeno Sierra

Publication number: 20120157308Abstract: Methods and compositions are provided related to improved plants that are tolerant to more than one herbicide. Particularly, the invention provides plants that are tolerant of glyphosate and are tolerant to at least one ALS inhibitor, and methods of use thereof. The glyphosate/ALS inhibitor-tolerant plants comprise a polynucleotide that encodes a polypeptide that confers tolerance to glyphosate and a polynucleotide that encodes an ALS inhibitor-tolerant polypeptide. In specific embodiments, a plant of the invention expresses a GAT polypeptide and an HRA polypeptide. Methods to control weeds, improve plant yield, and increase transformation efficiencies are provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 16, 2011Publication date: June 21, 2012Applicants: E.I. du Pont de Nemours and Company, Pioneer Hi-Bred International, Inc.Inventors: Billy Fred McCutchen, Timothy K.
