Abstract: The present invention relates to porous silica particles partially functionalized with long hydrocarbon chains loaded with a fungicidal agent having the ability to release the fungicidal agent in a targeted and selective manner at the site of infection, thus avoiding the unnecessary release of fungicidal agents on the plant product and into the environment. The invention also relates to a process for preparing these particles, to a system for the controlled and targeted release of fungicide based on the same and to the use thereof for fungicide treatments.

Abstract: Ready-to-use foamable pesticide compositions that contain a particulate pesticide suspended therein and applicators for dispensing such compositions. Methods for treating pests such as arthropods by contacting pests with such compositions are also provided.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for controlling weeds in a sugar cane field, including applying to a field before or after planting stem cuttings of sugar cane having only one node, at least one herbicide selected from the group consisting of ametryn, atrazine, simazine, alachlor, metolachlor, S-metolachlor, asulam, metribuzin, trifluralin, pendimethalin, tebuthiuron, diuron, hexazinone, amicarbazone, imazapic, trifloxysulfuron-sodium, iodosulfuron-methyl-sodium, halosulfuron-methyl, ethoxysulfuron, carfentrazone-ethyl, isoxaflutole, bicyclopyrone, mesotrione, picloram and salts thereof and esters thereof, 2,4-D and salts and esters thereof, dicamba and salts and esters thereof, clomazone, MSMA, paraquat, diquat, glufosinate, glufosinate-ammonium, glufosinate-P and salts thereof, and glyphosate and salts thereof. The present invention provides an excellent effect of controlling weeds without causing phytotoxicity problematic to sugar cane in a sugar cane field.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a solid herbicide formulation containing a) a herbicide from the group of sulfonylurea, or the salts thereof which are useful in the agricultural domain. b) optionally at least one other herbicide. c) optionally a safener, and d) at least one formulation adjuvant. A suspension is formed in water, consisting of the sulfonylurea a). optionally at least one other herbicide b), optionally a safener c) and at least one formulation adjuvant d). The suspension is adjusted to a pH value between 6.5 and 8 by adding an acid or a base, and is then dried to obtain the solid formulation.

Abstract: Solid mixtures comprising a) an active compound from the group consisting of the sulfonylureas, and b) an alkylpolyglucoside.

Abstract: This invention relates to compositions and methods for preserving plants and plant parts.
