The current invention provides a kit of parts for producing an emulsifiable pesticide solution comprising: (a) a water miscible organic solvent selected from the list of a glycol ether, a glycerol formal, dimethylsulfoxide, gamma-butyrolactone or mixtures thereof, (b) an alkoxylated alcohol with an average of 6 to 80 moles of ethylene oxide and 2 to 60 moles of propylene oxide per mole of alcohol; and (c) a pesticidal active ingredient. The invention further provides a composition for producing an emulsifiable pesticide solution, a method for producing such a composition and a method for treating an agricultural crop. In addition the invention provides some advantageous pesticidal compositions.

Disclosed herein are compositions comprising (a) a pyridine carboxylate herbicide or an agriculturally acceptable N-oxide, salt, or ester thereof and (b) a plant growth regulator (PGR), an agriculturally acceptable salt or ester thereof, or mixtures thereof. Also disclosed herein are methods of controlling undesirable vegetation, comprising applying to vegetation or an area adjacent the vegetation or applying in soil or water to control the emergence or growth of vegetation (a) a pyridine carboxylate herbicide or an agriculturally acceptable N-oxide, salt, or ester thereof and (b) a plant growth regulator (PGR), an agriculturally acceptable salt or ester thereof, or mixtures thereof.

The present invention relates to a sprout inhibitor for potato and a method of inhibiting sprout formation in tubers. More particularly, the present invention relates to acetolactate synthase (ALS) herbicide as tuber sprout inhibitor. The present invention further provides compositions comprising acetolactate synthase (ALS) as anti-sprouting agent.

An agrochemical composition of the present invention includes (A) hydroxyisoxazole or a salt thereof, and (B) at least one auxiliary agent selected from the following (b1) to (b4). (b1) at least one nonionic surfactant selected from the group consisting of a sugar ester type nonionic surfactant, an alkylamine type nonionic surfactant, an alkylphenol type nonionic surfactant, and an ether type nonionic surfactant (b2) a carboxylic acid type anionic surfactant (b3) a potassium salt (provided that, excluding a potassium salt of hydroxyisoxazole.) (b4) at least one solvent selected from the group consisting of an amide-based solvent and a lactate-based solvent

Described herein is a method for the anti-sprouting treatment of tubers, especially potatoes, by applying a composition including limonene and a composition including CIPC, preferably via fogging. Also described is the use of limonene as a replacement for CIPC in the anti-sprouting treatment of tubers. The disclosure provides limonene compositions suitable for application by fogging. Furthermore, the disclosure concerns tubers obtainable by any of these methods.
