This invention relates generally to improved methods and herbicidal glyphosate compositions for use in controlling the growth of weeds and unwanted vegetation, and particularly for use in controlling weeds in a crop of transgenic glyphosate-tolerant cotton plants by over-the-top, foliar application of a herbicidal glyphosate formulation.

Mitigating necrosis in transgenic glyphosate-tolerant cotton plants treated with herbicidal glyphosate formulations

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 generally relates to aqueous seed treatment formulations comprising from about 0.2 to about 15% of at least one pesticidal agent, from about 0.1 to about 0.45% of at least one graft copolymer, at least one polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), and from about 5 to about 30% of at least one plasticizer. The present invention also relates to aqueous seed treatment formulations wherein the pesticidal agents are clothianidin, metconazole, and metalaxyl.

Seed treatment formulations

The present invention generally relates to a process for preparing the alkoxylated alkylamines and/or alkyl ether amines. The process consists of three stages, and utilizes an alkali catalyst. The alkoxylated alkyl amines and alkoxylated alkyl ether amines prepared by the process possess the peaked distribution and contain less hazardous by-product.

Alkoxylated alkylamines/alkyl ether amines with peaked distribution

The present invention generally relates to aqueous seed treatment formulations comprising a pesticidal agent, a polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), a graft copolymer, and a plasticizer. In one embodiment of the invention, PVA-compatible polymer emulsions are employed. The present invention also relates to uses of the disclosed compositions for protecting seeds from pests.
