Soluble polymer based matrix for chemically active water insoluble components
-
, (2008/06/13)
This invention relates to a water soluble matrix composition comprising an anionic surfactant, a C6 to C18 alkyl pyrrolidone, urea and a water insoluble copolymer of vinyl pyrrolidone with not more than 50 wt. % of a comonomer selected from the group of an α-olefin, vinyl acetate, an acrylic or methacrylic acid ester and methacrylamide as a free flowing particulate solid which matrix is suitably mixed with a water insoluble, chemically active component, such as an agrochemical, to provide a clear sprayable film forming emulsion, such as a non-leachable film on a plant or other substrate surface. The invention also relates to the method of preparing the matrix and to the incorporation of an agrochemical concentrate and plant spray composition.
Oxime ethers as herbicidal safeners
-
, (2008/06/13)
The invention relates to novel oxime ethers of the formula I STR1 wherein R1 is hydrogen, halogen, lower alkyl, lower haloalkyl, lower alkoxy, lower haloalkoxy, lower alkylthio, lower haloalkylthio, lower alkylsulfinyl, lower alkylsulfonyl, lower haloalkylsulfinyl, lower haloalkylsulfonyl or nitro, each of R2 and R3 is hydrogen, halogen, lower alkyl, lower alkoxy or lower haloalkoxy, and Q is an unsubstituted or substituted lower alkyl, lower alkenyl, lower alkynyl or cycloalkyl group, a lower alkanoyl radical, an aliphatic, cycloaliphatic, aromatic or heterocyclic acyl radical which may be substituted or unsubstituted, a carbonyl or thiocarbonyl radical, an aryl or aralkyl radical, an acylimidomethyl radical, a phthalimidomethyl radical or a heterocyclic radical. These compounds are able to act as antidotes or safeners for protecting cultivated plants from the phytotoxic action of aggressive herbicides. Preferred crops are sorghum, cereals, maize and rice, and herbicides are chiefly chloroacetanilides and thiocarbamates.
