The invention relates to an agrochemical composition comprising a complex formed with at least one of elemental zinc or its salt or derivative or mixtures thereof and at least one of eugenol or source containing eugenol; with at least one agrochemically acceptable excipient. The agrochemical composition is in the form of wettable powders, aqueous suspensions, suspoemulsions, emulsion in water, emulsifiable concentrate, suspension concentrates, liquid suspension, aqueous dispersion, water dispersible granules, broadcast granules, water disintegrable granules, seed dressings or emulsions for seed treatment and combinations thereof. Further, the agrochemical composition comprises particles in the size range of 0.1 micron to 50 microns. Furthermore, the invention relates to a process of preparing the agrochemical composition and to a method of treating plants, seeds, crops, plant propagation material, locus, parts thereof or soil with the agrochemical composition.

Pesticidal compositions for improving physical characteristics of pesticide formulations which comprise natural pesticidal oil active ingredients are disclosed. One such composition comprises a pesticidal natural oil active ingredient, a surfactant to disperse the active ingredient in a water emulsion, a polymeric pour point depressant effective to reduce a pour point temperature of the pesticidal natural oil active ingredient and a hydrocarbon solvent. Methods for providing pesticidal compositions and application to control one or more pests are also disclosed.

This disclosure provides a method of disinfecting a surface within an area, comprising the steps of: a) dispersing into the area a multiplicity of droplets of a first aqueous composition comprising a first iodine reactant compound that is either a peroxide compound or an iodine salt compound: b) allowing sufficient time for the first aqueous composition to distribute throughout the area, and to deposit and coalesce into a layer upon the surface: c) dispersing into the area a multiplicity of droplets of a second aqueous composition comprising a second iodine reactant compound that is the other of the first iodine reactant compound, and: d) again allowing sufficient time for the droplets of the second aqueous composition to deposit onto the coalesced layer of the first aqueous composition, thereby forming iodine and other iodine biocides in situ and disinfecting the surface.

The present invention relates to a base formula wherein vegetable and/or other plant-based oils are alkalized with a bicarbonate salt to a pH between 7.5 and 9.7, treated with one or more emulsifiers to create an oil in water emulsion, and then coupled with a polymer to create an oil/polymer film for smothering arthropod pests and to coat plant surfaces for the purposes of deterring herbivory and to serve as protective barrier between pathogens and plant surfaces. Includes additions of wetting agents to improve spray coverage, and additions of plant essential oils to offer multiple modes of action to increase the breadth of pests controlled.
