Abstract
Provided is a method of formulating hydrophobic pesticides comprising emulsifying an aqueous phase and a water-immiscible phase to form a formulation; wherein the aqueous phase is comprised of water and optionally a freeze/thaw agent, one or more emulsifiers, or combinations thereof, and the water-immiscible phase comprises the hydrophobic pesticide and one or more emulsifiers.
Claims20
A process for preparing a stable, aqueous formulation of a hydrophobic pesticide comprising emulsifying an aqueous phase and a water-immiscible phase sufficient for the homogeneous dispersal of the pesticide throughout the formulation;
- wherein the water-immiscible phase comprises the hydrophobic pesticide and one or more emulsifiers.
An aqueous pesticidal formulation comprising a pesticidally effective amount of a hydrophobic pesticide.
