Abstract

A pesticide composition containing: (a) a polyaliphatic amine and/or its derivative; and (b) a biologically active component selected from the group consisting of insecticides, insect repellents, fungicides, bactericides, bacteriostats, herbicides, plant growth regulators, and mixtures thereof.

Claims

1. :

A pesticide composition comprising;

(a) a polyaliphatic amine corresponding to formula I;

wherein R₁, R₄ and R₆, independently, represent hydrogen or a C₁-C₃₀ alkyl or alkenyl group;

(OR₂)_n, (OR₃)_l and (OR₅)_m, independently, represent a random polyalkoxide group, or a block polyalkoxide group;

R₂, R₃ and R₅, independently, represent a C₂-C₆ alkyl group;

n, m and l, independently, represent a number up to 100, r is a number up to 2;

a, b, c, d and e, independently, represent a number from 1-12, x, y and z represent a number up to 100 and f represents a number of from 0 to 49,999;

(b) a biologically active component selected from the group consisting of insecticides, insect repellents, fungicides, bactericides, bacteriostats, herbicides, plant growth regulators, and mixtures thereof; and

(c) optionally carriers and auxiliaries.

2. :

The composition of claim 1 in the form of a concentrate wherein component (a) is present in an amount of from about 1 to about 40% by weight, and component (b) is present in an amount of from about 3 to about 95% by weight, all weights being based on the weight of the composition.

3. :

The composition of claim 1 in the form of a concentrate wherein component (a) is present in an amount of from about 4 to about 25% by weight, and component (b) is present in an amount of from about 20 to about 80% by weight, all weights being based on the weight of the composition.

4. :

The composition of claim 1 in the form of a concentrate wherein component (a) is present in an amount of from about 7 to about 10% by weight, and component (b) is present in an amount of from about 30 to about 65% by weight, all weights being based on the weight of the composition.

5. :

The composition of claim 1 wherein the polyaliphatic amine comprises polyethyleneimine of the formula (II) wherein f is a number of from 1 to 30.

6. :

The composition of claim 1 wherein the biologically active component comprises glyphosate.

7. :

The composition of claim 1 wherein the biologically active component comprises a salt of glyphosate selected from the group consisting of potassium salt, monoethanol amine salt, diethanol amine salts, trimethylsulfonium salt, isopropyl amine salt and mixtures thereof.

8. :

A process for treating an agricultural substrate comprising contacting the substrate with a biologically active composition comprising;

(a) a polyaliphatic amine of the formula I;

wherein R₁, R₄ and R₆, independently, represent hydrogen or a C₁-C₃₀ alkyl or alkenyl group;

(OR₂)_n, (OR₃)_l and (OR₅)_m, independently, represent a random polyalkoxide group, or a block polyalkoxide group;

R₂, R₃ and R₅, independently, represent a C₂-C₆ alkyl group;

n, m and l, independently, represent a number up to 100, r is a number up to 2;

a, b, c, d and e, independently, represent a number from 1-12, x, y and z represent a number up to 100; and

f is a number of from 0 to 49,999.

(b) a biologically active component selected from the group consisting of insecticides, insect repellents, fungicides, bactericides, bacteriostats, herbicides, plant growth regulators, and mixtures thereof; and

(c) optionally carriers and auxiliaries.

9. :

The process of claim 8 wherein component (a) is present in an amount of from about 0.0001% to about 4.0% by weight, and component (b) is present in an amount of from about .00001% to about 9.5% by weight, all weights being based on the weight of the composition.

10. :

The process of claim 8 wherein component (a) is present in an amount of from about 0.004% to about 2.5% by weight, and component (b) is present in an amount of from about .0001% to about 3.5% by weight, all weights being based on the weight of the composition.

11. :

The process of claim 8 wherein component (a) is present in an amount of from about 0.01% to about 1% by weight, and component (b) is present in an amount of from about .0015% to about 1.5% by weight, all weights being based on the weight of the composition.

12. :

The process of claim 8 wherein the polyaliphatic amine is polyethyleneimine of formula (II) wherein f is a member of from 1 to 30.

13. :

The process of claim 8 wherein the biologically active component is glyphosate.

14. :

The process of claim 8 wherein the biologically active component comprises a salt of glyphosate selected from the group consisting of potassium salt, monoethanol amine salt, diethanol amine salt, trimethylsulfonium salt, isopropyl amine salt and mixtures thereof.
