LIQUID FORMULATIONS OF CARBOXAMIDE ARTHROPODICIDES

摘要

Disclosed are suspension concentrate compositions comprising by weight based on the total weight of the composition, about 0.1 to about 40% of at least one carboxamide arthropodicide; 0 to about 20% of at least one other biologically active agent; about 30 to about 95% of at least one water-immiscible liquid carrier; about 2 to about 50% of at least one emulsifier; about 0.01 to about 10% of a silica thickener; about 0.1 to about 10% of at least one protic solvent selected from water, a C1-C12 alkanol and a C2-C3 glycol; and about 0.001 to about 5% of at least one water-soluble carboxylic acid. This invention also relates to a method for controlling an arthropod pest comprising diluting said suspension concentrate composition with water, and optionally adding an adjuvant to form a diluted composition, and contacting the arthropod pest or its environment with an effective amount of said diluted composition.
