Agricultural pesticide compositions

摘要

A pesticide composition contains, based on 100 parts by weight (“pbw”) of the composition: (a) from about 15 to about 65 pbw of one or more pesticide compounds, (b) from greater than 0 to about 10 pbw of one or more fatty acid (C1-C3) esters, and (c) optionally, up to about 20 pbw of one or more surfactants, wherein the surfactant component typically comprises: (i) one or more betaine surfactants, (ii) one or more glycoside surfactants, (iii) one or more amine oxide surfactants, (iv) one or more fatty (ether) amine alkoxylate surfactants, or (v) a surfactant mixture comprising at least one surfactant from each of at least two of the surfactant categories (i), (ii), (iii), and (iv). A method for controlling a target pest, includes the steps of diluting the above described pesticide composition with a diluent comprising water and applying the diluted pesticide composition to the target pest and/or to the environment of the target pest.

1. A pesticide composition, comprising, based on 100 parts by weight (“pbw”) of the composition:
(a) from about 15 to about 65 pbw of one or more herbicide compounds selected from glyphosate, glufosinate, their respective water soluble salts and esters, and mixtures thereof, (b) from greater than 0 to about 10 pbw of one or more fatty acid (C1-C3)alkyl esters according to structure (I): wherein:
R11 is (C6-C24)alkyl or (C6-C24)alkenyl, andR12 is (C1-C3)alkyl, and (c) from greater than 0 to about 20 pbw of one or more surfactants selected from:
(i) one or more (C12-C14)alkyldimethyl betaine surfactants,(ii) one or more alkylpolyglucoside surfactants,(iii) one or more (C12-C14)alkyldimethyl amine oxide surfactants, and(iv) a surfactant mixture comprising at least one surfactant from each of at least two of the surfactant categories (i), (ii), and (iii.
