Claims14
A A formulation for seed treatment comprising amount of fluensulfone, an effective amount of a rheology modifying agent and an agrochemically acceptable inert additive, wherein the rheology modifying agent forms microspheres comprising the fluensulfone, wherein the fluensulfone is dispersed or dissolved in a rate-controlling polymer matrix but not encapsulated by the rheology modifying agent, and wherein:
- a) the amount of the fluensulfone is about 15% to about 25% of the total formulation by weight,
- b) the amount of the rheology modifying agent is about 25% to about 40% of the total formulation by weight,
- c) the weight ratio of the rheology modifying agent to the fluensulfone is from about 3:1 to about 1:1, and
- d) the rheology modifying agent is a thermoplastic polyamide or a thermoplastic copolyamide.
A mixture comprising an effective amount of fluensulfone and an effective amount of rheology modifying agent, wherein the rheology modifying agent forms microspheres comprising the fluensulfone, wherein the fluensulfone is dispersed or dissolved in a rate-controlling polymer matrix but not encapsulated by the rheology modifying agent, and wherein:
- a) the amount of the fluensulfone is about 15% to about 25% of the mixture by weight,
- b) the amount of the rheology modifying agent is about 25% to about 40% of the mixture by weight,
- c) the weight ratio of the rheology modifying agent to the fluensulfone is from about 3:1 to about 1:1, and
- d) the rheology modifying agent is a thermoplastic polyamide or a thermoplastic copolyamide.
