The present invention relates to a process for inhibiting or eliminating the growth of microorganisms in pesticide suspensions. More particularly, the process of the present invention includes the addition of a combination of peracetic acid, hydrogen peroxide, and water to the pesticide suspension. Further, the process of the present invention includes the application of the peracetic acid, hydrogen peroxide, and water combination to the interior surface of the vessel in which the pesticide suspension is contained. Still further, the process of the present invention includes the application of the peracetic acid, hydrogen peroxide, and water combination to a surface in which the pesticide suspension is in contact.

The present invention relates to a dry composition that can be used as a herbicide. The composition contains N-(4-fluorophenyl)-N-(1-methylethyl)-2-[[5-(trifluoromethyl)-1,3,4-thiadia zol-2-yl]oxy]acetamide, 4-amino-6-(1,1-dimethylethyl)-3-(methylthio)-1,2,4-triazin-5-(4H)-one, and a pH adjusting agent. The pH adjusting agent is present in an amount such that it constitutes from about 0.1% to about 10% of the composition, and the resulting pH is from about 2.8 to about 5.4. The molar ratio of 4-amino-6-(1,1-dimethylethyl)-3-(methylthio)-1,2,4-triazin-5-(4H)-one to N-(4-fluorophenyl)-N-(1-methylethyl)-2-[[5-(trifluoromethyl)-1,3,4-thiadia zol-2-yl]oxy]acetamide in the composition is from about 1:1 to about 1:6.

Stable, dry compositions for use as herbicides

Disclosed herein is a stable aqueous dispersant solution containing a high concentration of an EO/PO nonionic block copolymer incapable of liquid phase continuity at ambient temperatures, and a formulation and processing approach providing an effective combination of an anionic dispersant with a water miscible solvent in an aqueous system that allows the feasible production of a dispersant solution containing a high concentration of EO/PO nonionic block copolymer.
