A method for modulating the release rate of microencapsulated active ingredients comprising the following steps: I) preparation of an aqueous suspension A) comprising microcapsules of at least one active ingredient, II) preparation of a liquid emulsifiable in water, component B), comprising a solvent of the active ingredient and at least a surfactant, III) water, component C), for diluting to the application dose the active ingredient, and mixing A), B) and C).

Method for modulating the release rate of microencapsulated active ingredients

Solvent formulations under EC form comprising (% by weight): 10-40% of one or more compounds having an insecticidal activity selected from the organophosphate class; 1-20% of an additive (A) methyl or ethyl esters of carboxylic acids having a C-Cchain, saturated or unsaturated, or mixtures thereof, the fatty acids deriving from vegetal oils; 0.5-10% of an additive B) of a cellulose derivative soluble in the organic solvent of EC formulation; 3-15% of one or more surfactants selected from non ionic and anionic surfactants, or thereof mixtures; the complement to 100% being of one or more organic solvents having the following characteristics: capable to solubilize the active principle, expressed as % by weight, at room temperature (20-25&#xb0; C.) for at least 5%; preferably 10%, more preferably at least 20%, immiscible with water.

Use of formulations comprising polyurea microcapsules obtainable by interfacial polymerization of diphenylmethylen-4,4'-diisocyanate (MDI), optionally in admixture with polymethylenepolyphenylisocyanate (PAPI), said formulations having a prolonged knockdown and killing effect longer than at least 3 months, preferably at least of 6 months, still more preferably at least of 9 months from the application, wherein the microcapsules comprise:

Use of formulations having insecticidal activity

A process for preparing water-soluble granules of amnionic glyphosate comprising: a) addition of glyphosate acid to a Broensted base which supplies ammonium ions in a molar ratio base/acid comprised between 0.8 and 1.1; b) homogenization of the mixture prepared in a); c) addition of one or more surfactants in amounts in the range 5%-50% by weight based on the glyphosate acid; d) mixing of the mass prepared in c) for a time lower than about 10 minutes until obtaining an extrudable mass; e) extrusion of the mass obtained in d); f) drying until obtaining a granule having a residual moisture lower than 1%.
