Compositions for improving plant health, the compositions comprising at least one water-soluble pesticide and at least one non-herbicidal water-insoluble agrochemical, are described. Also described are processes for preparing the compositions and methods of improving agronomic crop plant health using the compositions.

Plant health compositions comprising a water-soluble pesticide and a water-insoluble agrochemical

Methods of reducing injury to crop foliage and achieving weed control using encapsulated acetamide herbicides are described. Herbicidal microcapsules comprising herbicide core material and a shell wall encapsulating the core material are also described. The microcapsules provide reduced crop injury through controlled herbicide release.

Encapsulation of herbicides to reduce crop injury

Provided herein are treated seeds and methods for the preparation of treated seeds comprising a biological agent and a polymeric coating.

Processes for the preparation of treated seeds

An herbicidal composition comprising (a) glyphosate or a derivative thereof, (b) an amidoalkylamine surfactants having the general structure: wherein Ris a hydrocarbyl having from about 1 carbon atoms to about 22 carbon atoms, and R, R, and Rare each independently hydrocarbyl having from about 1 carbon atom to about 6 carbon atoms; and (c) at least one co-surfactant.

Glyphosate formulations containing amidoalkylamine surfactants

Improved aqueous herbicidal compositions comprising at least one water-soluble herbicide and a gel forming agent are provided. The compositions are generally characterized as pseudoplastic, elastic and having a relatively high stationary viscosity. The compositions provide enhanced foliar retention and resistance to drying thereby allowing for improved uptake of the herbicide into the plants and/or translocation within the plant in order to more effectively kill the plants at reduced application rates in kilograms of herbicide per hectare, even in the absence of a surfactant. Methods for confined application of the compositions of the invention to control the growth of unwanted plants are also provided.

Agrochemical gel compositions

A herbicidal composition is provided comprising an aqueous solution of N-phosphonomethylglycine, predominantly in the form of the potassium salt thereof, at a concentration of at least 300 g a.e./l of the composition; and a surfactant component in solution or stable suspension, emulsion, or dispersion in the water, comprising one or more surfactants in a total amount of about 20 to about 300 g/l of the composition, wherein the composition has a viscosity of less than about 250 centipoise at 0&#xb0; C. or a Gardner color value less than 10.

Surfactants and formulations

Amine salts of certain herbicides that in free acid form include at least one carboxylic acid moiety are described. Herbicide salts comprising the cation of various imidazole, piperazine, piperidine, and morpholine compounds are provided. The herbicide amine salts described are suitable for formulation into herbicidal application mixtures and/or stable concentration compositions that exhibit acceptable volatility characteristics upon application.

Salts of carboxylic acid herbicides

The present invention relates to stable glyphosate formulations with improved efficacy by a highly effective alkoxylated alkylamine quaternary surfactant at a very low used level. The alkoxylated alkylamine quaternary surfactant is compatible in all salts of glyphosate formulations (including potassium and ammonium) even at very high concentration (470-600 g a.e./l).

Alkoxylated alkylamine quaternary surfactants for glyphosate

Efficacious herbicidal compositions comprising a derivatized saccharide surfactant and an amine oxide surfactant are described. The compositions are characterized as having low toxicity and are readily biodegradable.

Combinations of derivatized saccharide surfactants and etheramine oxide surfactants as herbicide adjuvants

The present invention relates to stable glyphosate formulations with improved efficacy by a highly effective alkoxylated alkylamine quaternary surfactant at a very low used level. The alkoxylated alkylamine quaternary surfactant is compatible in all salts of glyphosate formulations (including potassium and ammonium) EVEN AT VERY HIGH CONCENTRATION (470-600 g a.e./l).
