Abstract
The present invention relates to a solution for resisting destruction of living plants and a related method. A solution including a buffered amine oxide admixed with at least one material selected from the group consisting of insecticides and fungicides is applied to the living plant and provides a synergistically effective greater resistance to living plant deterioration than any of the individual buffered amine oxide, insecticides and fungicides achieve. A related method is disclosed.
Claims55
A solution for resisting destruction of living plants comprising
- a buffered amine oxide admixed with a material selected from the group consisting of an insecticide and a fungicide, said solution being characterized by the property of synergistically effecting greater resistance to plant destruction than said buffered amine oxide and either said insecticide or said fungicide employed alone,
- said buffered amine oxide having a dual buffer,
- said buffered amine oxide having a pH of 6.5 to 10.5,
- said buffered amine oxide being present in a concentration of 200:1 to 400:1 on a total solution volume basis.
A method for resisting destruction of living plants comprising
- providing a solution having a buffered amine oxide admixed with a material selected from the group consisting of an insecticide and a fungicide, and
- applying said solution to effect synergistic protection of said living plants against a pest selected from the group consisting of insects and fungi
- through said application of said solution synergistically effecting greater resistance to said plant deterioration than said buffered amine oxide and either said insecticide or said fungicide employed alone would achieve,
- employing a dual buffer in said buffered amine oxide,
- said buffered amine oxide having a pH of 6.5 to 10.5.
A solution for resisting destruction of living plants comprising
- a dual buffered amine oxide admixed with an insecticide, and
- said solution being characterized by the property of synergistically effecting greater resistance to plant destruction than said buffered amine oxide and said insecticide employed alone,
- said buffered amine oxide having a pH of 6.5 to 10.5.
A method of resisting destruction of living plants comprising
- providing a solution having a dual buffered amine oxide admixed with an insecticide, and
- applying said solution to said living plant to effect synergistic protection of said living plants against insects,
- said buffered amine oxide having a pH of 6.5 to 10.5.
A solution for resisting destruction of living plants comprising
- a dual buffered amine oxide admixed with a fungicide, and
- said solution being characterized by the property of synergistically effecting greater resistance to plant destruction than said buffered amine oxide and said fungicide employed alone,
- said buffered amine oxide having a pH of 6.5 to 10.5.
A method of resisting destruction of living plants comprising
- providing a solution having a dual buffered amine oxide admixed with a fungicide, and
- applying said solution to said living plant to effect synergistic protection of said living plants against fungi,
- said buffered amine oxide having a pH of 6.5 to 10.5.
