Highly stable emulsions of biocides in liquid fertilizer compositions are disclosed which offer unexpected stability thus permitting application of both biocides and liquid fertilizers simultaneously. The improved emulsion stability can be obtained by utilizing higher polyoxyalkylene glycol ethoxylate esters or combinations thereof with certain anionic emulsifiers. Stable aqueous emulsions are also disclosed.

Machine dishwashing detergents are disclosed containing a low-foaming nonionic surfactant having relatively low cloud point which unexpectedly provides effective detergency, foam control and good rinsing action when utilized as the sole nonionic surfactant. Dishes and other utensils are cleaned to a sparkling clean spot-free condition by the machine dishwashing detergent compositions of the invention containing conventional phosphate builders or non-phosphate builders but excluding conventional alkyl phosphate ester defoaming agents. The machine dishwashing detergent compositions of the invention are effective especially in controlling foam on washing dishes and other utensils encrusted with soils generally encountered on dishes, specifically egg and milk-derived protein soils.

There is disclosed a cellulosic material such as paper or paperboard surface-sized with an aqueous dispersion of a combination of degraded starch or a starch derivative and a branched-chain, water-dispersible polyester condensation product. Said polyester is derived from the reaction of a dicarboxylic reactant, a diol or polyoxyalkylene glycol, and a phosphorus acid reactant wherein said polyester has a carboxylic acid number of about 5 to about 15 and an average molecular weight of about 4,000 to about 11,000. Mixtures of said starch and said polyester when used to surface-size cellulosic materials impart water resistance thereto.
