- Concentrates of organophosphorous insecticides
-
A low volatile organic compound co-solvent system is disclosed for preparing emulsion concentrates of low melting organophosphorous insecticides wherein the bioefficacy of the insecticide active is significantly enhanced. The co-solvent system comprises a water-soluble ethoxylated fatty acid/rosin acid-nonionic surfactant composition.

- Halogen alkenyl azolyl microbicides
-
Novel halogenoalkenyl-azolyl derivatives of the formula STR1 in which R1 represents optionally substituted alkyl, optionally substituted alkenyl, optionally substituted cycloalkyl, optionally substituted aryl or represents optionally substituted heteroaryl, R2 represents alkyl, halogenoalkyl, 1-hydroxyalkyl, 2-hydroxyalkyl, 1-hydroxyhalogenalkyl, 1-alkenyl or 2-alkenyl, X1 represents fluorine, chlorine, bromine or iodine, X2 represents fluorine, chlorine, bromine or iodine, and Y represents nitrogen or a CH group, and addition products thereof with acids or metal salts are very active as microbicides in plant protection and in the protection of materials.

- Pesticide compositions and method
-
Toxicant, especially pesticide compositions, having lowered dermal toxicity are provided. The compositions include a lipophilic-pesticide, a nonionic surfactant and a dry inert diluent carrier. Methods for reducing the dermal toxicity of lipophilic toxicants, especially pesticides are provided, as well as methods for controlling insect pests using the disclosed compositions.

- Polyhydroxy polymer delivery systems
-
A biologically active agent-containing composition is prepared by reacting an aqueous emulsion or dispersion of a suitable biologically active agent and an optional filler in an aqueous solution or gel of a polyhydroxy polymer and an inorganic salt, with a boric acid or boric acid derivative until an insolubilized matrix phase is formed having entrapped therein uniformly dispersed, discontinuous domains of said agent and an optional aqueous phase that can be separated from the matrix phase by decanting, filtration, or the like; the product is then dried and ground to the desired particle size. The composition is applied to the soil or plants where the biologically active agent is slow released for controlling pests.

- Deodorized organothiophosphorous and emulsifiable concentrates thereof
-
Organothiophosphorous compounds, e.g., Merphos, which contain or develop malodorous mercaptan impurities during storage, are protected against such odor development by the addition of minor amounts (0.1 to 10%) of a ketone, especially in the presence of a catalyst such as cuprous chloride or p-toluene sulfonic acid in a concentration range of 0.01 to 0.1%. Formulated products are also claimed.
