Glyphosate liquid formulations containing surfactants, especially of the amine type, often undergo a yellowish-brown discoloration on storage. This may be inhibited or prevented by incorporating a small amount of urea.

Glyphosate liquid formulations

Semiconductor substrates are held by a substrate holder having a parallel arrangement of bridges, and are capable of being dipped in processing liquids by the holder. Each bridge has an alternate arrangement of teeth and valleys to define Y-shaped notches. Vent holes are formed in the bottoms of the notches for ready drainage of processing liquids. The substrates are held in the notches while contacting only the walls of the notches. Thus, there is minimum contact between the substrates and the substrate holder. When the holder is lifted up from the processing liquid, part of the processing liquid remaining around the contacts between the substrates and the valleys drain through the vent holes, which attributes to the rapid drying of the substrates.

Substrate holder

A composition comprising the dihydrate of the calcium salt of 3-hydroxy-5-methylisoxazole and cupric hydroxide and a method of protecting crops by applying the composition to plants or a locus thereof.

Composition containing the dihydrate of the calcium salt of

A combination of 3-hydroxy-5-methylisoxazole with an antimicrobial agent has good agricultural fungicidal activity which lasts longer than 3-hydroxy-5-methylisoxazole alone. The dihydrate of the calcium salt of 3-hydroxy-5-methylisoxazole has advantages over the free 3-hydroxy-5-methylisoxazole, other salts and the anhydrous compound.
