The present invention relates to an aqueous pesticide microemulsion formulation including (a) at least one organic pesticide compound P, which is sparingly soluble in water and which is present in the formulation in dissolved form; (b) at least one organic solvent LM1 selected from C1-C4-alkyl lactates; (c) at least one organic solvent LM2 selected from C5-C12-alkyl lactates; (d) at least one organic solvent LM3 selected from N&#x2014;(C4-C12 alkyl)pyrrolidones; (e) at least one surfactant S selected from anionic surfactants and non-ionic surfactants and mixtures thereof; and (f) water.

Aqueous pesticide microemulsion

The present invention relates to a method for cultivating sugar cane comprising removing buds together with meristematic tissue from the stalk of a 6 to 18 months old sugar cane plant, treating the buds with at least one fungicide and/or at least one insecticide and/or at least one nematicide and/or at least one growth regulator and/or at least one rooting enabler and/or growth-promoting bacteria, planting these buds in a growth medium, growing seedlings from the buds at a temperature of at least 15&#xb0; C., and 10 to 120 days after planting the buds, planting the seedlings grown from the buds to the field if the growth medium is not a field, or, in case the growth medium is a field, exposing the seedlings obtained from the buds to ambient conditions.

Method for cultivating sugar cane

The present invention relates to a method for cultivating sugar cane comprising planting sugar cane shoots in a growth medium, growing seedlings from the shoots at a temperature of at least 15&#xb0; C. and 10-120 days after having planted the shoots planting the seedlings obtained therefrom into the field if the growth medium is not a field, or, in case the growth medium is a field, exposing the seedlings obtained from the shoots to ambient conditions, where the seedling, while growing, is treated with at least one strobilurin fungicide and/or at least one carboxamide fungicide and/or at least one GABA antagonist insecticide and/or at least one nicotinic receptor agonists/antagonist insecticide and/or at least one chloride channel activator insecticide.
