Patent number: 5580544Abstract: Water-dispersible paste formulations used in connection with seed treatment and foliar treatment of plants provide excellent dust and rub-off control. The paste formulations comprise an active ingredient and a hydrocarbon oil carrier having a boiling point of at least 150.degree. C. The carrier is present in an amount that is effective for reducing dusting off of the plant leaf or seed. The paste formulations further include a surfactant and an effervescent comprising an alkaline carbonate and a solid and weak acid. The surfactant, the alkaline carbonate, and the solid and weak acid are respectively present in an amount that is effective for enabling the paste formulation to readily and quickly be dispersed in water. The paste formulations are especially suitable for containment in water soluble and/or water-dispersible bags or pouches, such use tending to render the active ingredient safer to handle and therefore better for consumers and the environment.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 1995Date of Patent: December 3, 1996Assignees: Uniroyal Chemical Company, Inc., Uniroyal Chemical Ltd/LteeInventors: Dong C. Dao, William L. Hallatt, Heather L. Hibbett, Colin H. Drennan

Patent number: 5518986Abstract: The present invention provides an effective method for controlling foliage and root fungus infection in cultivated crops. A fungicide composition in the form of an aqueous formulation which is applied to pre-harvest crops contains ingredients such as pentachloronitrobenzene, sodium bicarbonate, sodium carbonate, potassium oleate, potassium octanoate and xanthan gum. The combination of potassium oleate, potassium octanoate and xanthan gum functions as an effective spreader-sticker medium for forming an adherent coating on plant foliage surfaces, and for saturating ground soil. The coating exhibits both immediate and long duration fungicidal activities.Type: GrantFiled: April 6, 1995Date of Patent: May 21, 1996Assignee: Church & Dwight Co., Inc.Inventor: Anthony E. Winston
