METHOD AND COMPOSITIONS FOR CONTROLLING RELEASE OF ORGANIC COMPOSITIONS

摘要

A method and compositions using layered clays with monovalent potassium, ammonium or cesium ions in the galleries of the clay which are also occupied by a preferably polar or semi polar organic compound. The method and compositions are particularly useful for controlled release of pesticides, insecticides, herbicides, fungicides, nematocides and contaminants in the presence of calcium or magnesium, or other naturally occurring inorganic cations as divalent displacement ions providing the release.
