Abstract
Disclosed are pesticide compositions that utilize biodiesel as a solvent. The disclosed compositions may be utilized for controlling pests, such as nematodes and weeds, and for enhancing growth of plants.
Claims18
A pesticide composition comprising:
- (a) an effective amount of a pesticide for controlling a pest;
- (b) biodiesel;
- and
- (c) an effective amount of a nitrogen source;
- wherein the composition has a molar ratio of total carbon to total nitrogen (C:N) of about (22.4-5.6):1.
2 more elements
A pesticide composition comprising:
- (a) biodiesel;
- (b) an effective amount of a pesticide for controlling a pest;
- the pesticide selected from a group consisting of a menthol compound, an alkyl cyanamide compound, a 3,5-alkyltetrahydro-1,3,5-thiadiazine-2-thione compound, an aldehyde compound comprising a cyclic aromatic substituent, an isothiocyanate compound, a capsaicinoid compound, an unsaturated aldehyde compound, a phenol compound optionally substituted with alkyl, a halogenated propene, and combinations thereof.
A method for preparing a pesticide composition, the method comprising combining:
- (a) an effective amount of a pesticide for controlling a pest;
- (b) biodiesel;
- and
- (c) an effective amount of an nitrogen source;
- wherein the composition has a molar ratio of total carbon to total nitrogen (C:N) of about (22.4-5.6):1.
2 more elements
A method for controlling soil-bourne pests and weeds comprising applying a liquid soil-amendment composition at an application rate of at least about 1 ml/kg soil, the soil-amendment composition comprising:
- (a) an effective amount of a pesticide for controlling a pest;
- and
- (b) biodiesel.
