PESTICIDAL COMPOSITIONS FOR INSECTS AND ARTHROPODS

摘要

The present invention provides an insect or arthropod pesticidal composition. The composition includes active ingredients having a mixture of fatty acids, each of the fatty acids having a straight carbon chain from 6 to 12 carbon atoms long. The fatty acid mixture includes a first fatty acid molecule having a straight carbon chain from 6 to 8 carbon atoms long, and a carboxylic acid group. The fatty acid mixture also includes a second fatty acid molecule having a straight carbon chain from 8 to 12 carbon atoms long, and a carboxylic acid group. The composition also includes a carrier that promotes adherence or absorption or transport across the surface of insects or arthropods to effect their incapacitation or death.

主权项

1. An insect or arthropod pesticidal composition comprising:
(a) an active ingredient comprising a mixture of fatty acids, each fatty acid having a straight carbon chain from 6 to 12 carbon atoms long, wherein the mixture of fatty acids comprises at least two of:
(i) a first fatty acid molecule having a straight carbon chain from 6 to 8 carbon atoms long,(ii) a second fatty acid molecule having a straight carbon chain from 8 to 9 carbon atoms long; and(iii) a third fatty acid molecule having a straight carbon chain from 9 to 12 carbon atoms long, wherein the first fatty acid molecule, the second fatty acid molecule and the third fatty acid molecule are all different; and (b) a carrier that promotes absorption of the active ingredient by the insect or arthropod.
