BRANCHED COPOLYMER/ANTHRANILIC DIAMIDE COMPOSITIONS FOR PROPAGULE COATING

摘要

Disclosed is an insecticidal composition comprising by weight based on total weight of composition (a) from about 9 to about 91% of one or more anthranilic diamide insecticides; and (b) from about 9 to about 91% of a branched copolymer component having water solubility or dispersibility at least about 5% by weight at 20° C., wherein: the branched copolymer component comprises one or more branch segments attached to linear backbone segment; the branch segments comprise at least two repeating monomer units and have number average molecular weight (Mn) at least about 1,000; the branched copolymer component comprises hydrophilic groups; and ratio of component (b) to component (a) is about 1:10 to about 10:1 by weight. Also disclosed is a geotropic propagule coated with insecticidal composition. Further disclosed is a liquid composition comprising the insecticidal composition, and method for protecting a geotropic propagule and plant derived therefrom a phytophagous insect pest.
