Herbicidal Compositions

Herbicidal compositions

Herbicidal composition

When herbicides are applied, surfactants can affect the wettability of leaves of the plants and the effectiveness of the herbicides. According to the invention, a particular intensification of action is achieved when surfactants from the group comprising the C.sub.10 -C.sub.18 -alkyl polyglycol ether sulfates and their physiologically acceptable salts together with leaf-acting selective herbicides or the leaf-acting non-selective herbicides glyphosate, paraquat or diquat are applied.

Synergistic herbicidal agents

The invention relates to water-emulsifiable granules of crop protection agents composed of the pesticidal active substance in liquid or dissolved form and an at least partially water-soluble shell-forming structural material, to the use of these granules as novel, advantageous formulations of crop protection agents, and to processes for their preparation. It furthermore relates to the general use of polyvinyl alcohols as shell-forming structural materials in the preparation of water-emulsifiable granules which contain organic compounds dissolved in a high-boiling solvent or solvent mixture.

Formulations of crop protection agents

The invention relates to solid active substance formulations which contain wetting agents in combination with a surfactant (antifoam) from the group comprising perfluoroalkylphosphinic acid/perfluoroalkylphosphonic acids or their salts. The invention also relates to the use of these formulations, in particular in the preparation of spray slurries.

Antifoams for solid crop protection agents

Formulations of deltamethrin

Novel water-dispersible granules of plant protection agents, in particular of herbicides and growth regulators, are obtained when a dispersion or solution in water of 10 to 90% by weight of active substance with 10 to 90% by weight of solid wetting agents from the group containing of alkanesulfonates, alkylsulfonates, alkylnaphthalenesulfonates, alkylbenzenesulfonates, long-chain olefinsulfonates, alkyl polyol ether sulfonates, alkyl ether sulfates, alkyl ether phosphates, alkylsulfosuccinic monoesters, fatty acid isethionates and fatty acid N-methyltaurides, or of an ammonium salt, or of a mixture of an ammonium salt and one or more of the above solid wetting agents, and 0 to 50% by weight of customary formulation agents is prepared and the dispersion or solution is granulated using the cocurrent or counter-current process.

Herbicidal agents containing imidazole herbicide and ether sulfate

Liquid herbicidal agents which contain a compound of the formula ##STR1## in the form of the racemate or of the L enantiomer, lower alkyl esters thereof or salts thereof with acids or bases (I) in combination with surfactants in the form of

Liquid herbicidal formulations of glufosinate

Water-dispersible granules comprising fenoxaprop-ethyl and/or

The invention relates to defoamed aqueous solutions of surfactants and to low-foam concentrated liquid preparations of plant protection agents, which contain sulfato- or sulfonato-containing surfactants as wetting agents and surfactants from the group comprising the perfluoro(C.sub.6 -C.sub.18)alkylphosphinic acids and/or -alkylphosphonic acids and/or their salts, as defoamer.

Defoamer for liquid wetting agents and low-foam liquid plant protection

The invention relates to liquid herbicidal compositions comprising a compound of the formula ##STR1## and an alkyl polyglycoside or an alkyl polyglycoside and at least one surfactant from the series comprising fatty alcohol polyglycol ether sulfate, alkyldimethylamine oxide, alkyldimethylbenzylammonium chloride and coconut alkyldimethylaminoacetic acid or a salt thereof. The invention furthermore relates to a process for the preparation of these compositions and their use for controlling undesired vegetation.

Liquid herbicidal compositions containing glufosinate and an alkyl

Compounds of the formula ##STR1## in which R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 denote alkyl, CF.sub.3, benzyl cyclohexyl, cyanoethyl, phenyl or OH and A denotes, inter alia, the groups --CO--, CHOH or CH--NH.sub.2 and --COR.sub.3 denotes a carboxyl, carboxylic ester or carboxamido group, are active herbicides.
