Abstract
There is provided a powder composition comprising a collection of particles (I) having median particle diameter of 10 micrometers to 200 micrometers, wherein each of said particles (I) comprises (a) a covering of a fatty compound having melting point of 50° C. to 110° C. and (b) one or more inner particles (II) comprising one or more complex that contains a cyclopropene compound molecule or a portion of a cyclopropene compound molecule encapsulated in a molecule of a molecular encapsulating agent. Also provided is a slurry comprising water and such a powder. Also provided is a method of contacting plants or plant parts with such a slurry.
Claims10
A method of treating plants or plant parts comprising contacting said plants or plant parts with a slurry comprising an aqueous medium and a collection of particles (I) having median particle diameter of 10 micrometers to 200 micrometers, wherein each of said particles (I) comprises
- (a) a covering of a fatty compound having melting point between 50° C. to 110° C., wherein the fatty compound is selected from the group consisting of hydrogenated soybean oil, hydrogenated cottonseed oil, carnauba wax, microcrystalline wax, or combinations thereof;
- and
- (b) a plurality of inner particles (II) comprising one or more complex that contains a cyclopropene compound molecule or a portion of a cyclopropene compound molecule encapsulated in a molecule of a molecular encapsulating agent.
