Dispensable pesticide-containing compositions.

摘要

A pesticide composition is provided that can be applied directly to plants by spraying. The composition is an oil-in-water emulsion containing a nonpolar agriculturally acceptable pesticide in an agriculturally effective amount. The composition is especially useful when the nonpolar pesticide is pyridinedicarboxylic herbicide. The composition contains a fatty oil, such as a long chain fatty acid, preferably methyl oleate or methyl laurate, in an amount sufficient to dissolve the pesticide(s). Water is used in the composition which will be the carrier for any polar pesticide. An amphipathic lipid is present in the compositions. Use of an emulsifier and/or surfactant is optional.
