Abstract
Described herein, inter alia, is a composition comprising an agricultural agent in particulate form and a microfibrillated cellulose, and methods of making and using the aforementioned composition.
Claims21
A composition comprising:
- a capsule suspension (CS) of a mixture of chlorethoxyfos and bifenthrin in a liquid phase, the mixture being disposed within an encapsulating wall;
- a polymeric dispersant;
- 0.01% to about 5% by dry weight microfibrillated cellulose, and optionally ethanolamine, and
- a high ionic strength medium,
- wherein the microfibrillated cellulose is chemically unmodified, wherein the composition exhibits time-dependent shear thinning.
2 more elements
A composition comprising:
- an agricultural agent in particulate form;
- a microfibrillated cellulose, wherein the microfibrillated cellulose is present in an amount from about 0.01% to about 5% by dry weight of the composition and
- a high ionic strength medium;
- wherein the particulate form is selected from the group consisting of a liquid droplet, a gel, or a combination thereof;
- and
- wherein the agricultural agent in particulate form are part of an emulsifiable concentrate (EC), a capsule suspension (CS), a suspo-emulsion (SE), a microemulsion (ME), or an oil dispersion (OD),
- wherein the microfibrillated cellulose is chemically unmodified, wherein the composition exhibits time-dependent shear thinning.
4 more elements
A method of treating a crop comprising:
- providing a composition comprising:
- an agricultural agent in particulate form;
- and
- a microfibrillated cellulose, wherein the microfibrillated cellulose is present in an amount from about 0.01% to about 5% by dry weight of the composition;
- wherein the particulate form is selected from a liquid droplet, a gel,
- an emulsifiable concentrate (EC), a capsule suspension (CS), a suspo-emulsion (SE), a microemulsion (ME), or an oil dispersion (OD);
- and
- wherein the microfibrillated cellulose is chemically unmodified;
- and
- adding to the composition a high ionic strength medium to provide a mixture.
