The present invention is generally related to an agricultural formulation comprising 3-(difluoromethyl)-1-methyl-N-[(3R)-1,1,3-trimethyl-2,3-dihydroinden-4-yl]pyrazole-4-carboxamide and sodium salt of naphthalene sulfonate condensate and polyoxyethylene tristyrylphenol phosphate, potassium salt. The present invention is further related to an agricultural formulation comprising 3-(difluoromethyl)-1-methyl-N-[(3R)-1,1,3-trimethyl-2,3-dihydroinden-4-yl]pyrazole-4-carboxamide, ethaboxam, metalaxyl, mandestrobin, methyloxirane polymer, sodium salt of naphthalene sulfonate condensate, a mixture of sodium salt of alkyl vinyl ether/maleic acid half-ester copolymer and polyvinyl pyrrolidone and polyoxyethylene tristyrylphenol phosphate, potassium salt. The present invention is further directed to a process for preparing the agricultural formulations and methods of use thereof.

Agricultural formulations, uses thereof and processes for preparation thereof

The present invention is directed to a pesticidal composition comprising clothianidin, a graft copolymer, an acrylic (type) co-polymer having a backbone containing a carboxylated ethylenically unsaturated monomer and a non-carboxylated ethylenically unsaturated monomer and optionally, a poly(ethylene oxide)-poly(propylene oxide)-poly(ethylene oxide) block copolymer having an average molecular weight from about 4950 to about 6500 and a hydrophile weight percentage from about 30% to about 50%. The present invention is further directed to a method of controlling a pest comprising applying a composition of the present invention to an area in need of pest control.

Clothianidin compositions and methods of use thereof

The present invention is directed to aqueous herbicidal compositions containing flumiclorac-pentyl, pyroxasulfone and dioctyl sodium sulfosuccinate. The present invention is further directed to a method of controlling weeds by applying compositions of the present invention.

Aqueous herbicidal compositions and methods of use thereof

The present invention is directed to an aqueous composition comprising spirotetramat, pyriproxyfen, a solvent system comprising heavy aromatic naphtha, cottonseed oil and optionally, acetyl tributyl citrate, one or more poly(ethylene oxide)-poly(propylene oxide)-poly(ethylene oxide) block copolymers and an acrylic type co-polymer having a backbone containing a carboxylated ethylenically unsaturated monomer and a non-carboxylated ethylenically unsaturated monomer and water. The present invention is further directed to methods of controlling pests by applying the compositions of the invention to an area in need thereof.

Aqueous insecticidal composition and methods of use thereof

The present invention relates to non-aqueous pesticidal dispersible concentrate formulations comprising from about 2 to about 10% of at least one pesticidal agent, from about 15 to about 25% of hexylene glycol, from about 65 to about 75% of propylene glycol, a hydrophobic silica, and a surfactant, wherein the weight percentages are based on the total weight of the formulation. Formulations of the present invention have superior storage stability but are non-phytotoxic to seeds when used as a seed treatment. The present invention also relates to ready-to-use products made from the concentrated formulations of the present invention. Further, the present invention includes methods of using the pesticidal dispersible concentrate formulations and ready-to-use products to achieve superior plant protection and disease control.

Pesticidal dispersible concentrate formulations

The present invention provides an improved herbicidal composition including (a) an effective amount of an herbicidal cyclohexandione oxime compound or agriculturally acceptable salt thereof; (b) one or more esters of a fatty acid; (c) a salt of dodecylbenzensulfonic acid; (d) at least one nonionic surfactant selected from the group consisting of polyoxyethylene plant oils and polyoxyethylene sorbitan esters; and (e) optionally another herbicide.

Herbicidal compositions

A dehydration step provides a good storage stability to clethodium formulation. A herbicidal composition comprising clethodim as an active ingredient, wherein the content of water in the herbicidal composition is less than approximately 0.20% by weight provides a good storage stability of the clethodim in the composition.

Herbicidal composition

The present invention provides an improved herbicidal composition including (a) an effective amount of an herbicidal cyclohexanedione oxime compound or agriculturally acceptable salt thereof; (b) one or more esters of a fatty acid; (c) a salt of dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid; (d) at least one nonionic surfactant selected from the group consisting of polyoxyethylene plant oils and polyoxyethylene sorbitan esters; and (e) optionally an aromatic hydrocarbon solvent. The present invention also provides a method for controlling the growth of vegetation, by applying to the vegetation the composition of the present invention.
