Claims13
A method of treating a soil or growth medium, comprising contacting the soil or growth medium with an effective amount of a composition comprising:
- one or more water-soluble oils selected from the group consisting of PEG Glyceryl Dimyristate, PEG Glyceryl Dioleate, PEG Glyceryl Distearate, and PEG Glyceryl Palmitate;
- and
- one or more agricultural chemicals and/or biological agents selected from the group consisting of a fertilizer, biostimulant, bacteria, fungi, yeast, virus, nutrient, drift reduction agent, water conditioner, penetrant, pH buffer, activator, surfactant, stabilizer, spreader, wetting agent, detergent, adhesive, anticaking agent, dye, dispersant, emulsifying agent, defoamer, antifreeze, pigment, and colorant, and combinations thereof.
A method of increasing the effectiveness of an agricultural chemical or biological agent on a plant, plant part, or seed, comprising:
- contacting the plant, plant part, or seed with:
- one or more water-soluble oils selected from the group consisting of PEG Glyceryl Dimyristate, PEG Glyceryl Dioleate, PEG Glyceryl Distearate, and PEG Glyceryl Palmitate;
- and
- one or more agricultural chemicals and/or biological agents selected from the group consisting of a fertilizer, biostimulant, bacteria, fungi, yeast, virus, nutrient, drift reduction agent, water conditioner, penetrant, pH buffer, activator, surfactant, stabilizer, spreader, wetting agent, detergent, adhesive, anticaking agent, dye, dispersant, emulsifying agent, defoamer, antifreeze, pigment, and colorant, and combinations thereof,
- wherein the plant, plant part, or seed displays increased effectiveness of the agricultural chemical or biological agent as compared to a plant, plant part, or seed that was contacted with the agricultural chemical or biological agent without the one or more water-soluble oils.
