International Classification:

A01N043/04
A01N043/16

US Classification:

504/292000, 504/358000

Abstract:

This invention is related to a group of bioactive or secondary plant growth regulating substances that are naturally a part of the chitin molecule of shrimp, crab, lobster shell and the shell of other crustacea. These secondary substances can produce surprising bioactivity when managed properly to increase food crop yields. Coming from a waste problem of huge proportions, they represent a recycling opportunity at its best.

International Classification:

A01N 3718
A01N 3738
C07D30338

US Classification:

71118

Abstract:

A method for reducing pesticide drift caused by crystallization of a pesticide from a pesticide spraying formulation. Crystallization of a pesticide from a pesticide spraying formulation is suppressed by incorporating an expoxidized vegetable oil into the formulation. The method increases pesticidal efficacy of a pesticide applied in the form of a pesticide spraying formulation. A pesticide spraying formulation is provided which comprises a pesticide, a diluent and an epoxidized vegetable oil.
