8309491, Nov 13, 2012
Filed:
Oct 28, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/607709
Inventors:
Mei Li - Westfield IN, US
Holger Tank - Zionsville IN, US
Melissa G. Olds - Zionsville IN, US
Derek J. Hopkins - New Plymouth, NZ
Robert M. Buttimor - New Plymouth, NZ
Assignee:

US Patent:
8563473, Oct 22, 2013
Filed:
Apr 19, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/089336
Inventors:
Nicola Stagg - Zionsville IN, US
T. Craig Blewett - Zionsville IN, US
Holger Tank - Zionsville IN, US
Mei Li - Westfield IN, US
Lei Liu - Carmel IN, US
Assignee:

A01N 43/40
A01N 37/00
US Classification:
504127, 504128, 504244, 504254, 504255, 504260, 504307
Abstract:
Aqueous concentrates of choline salts of herbicidal auxinic carboxylic acids are less irritating to eyes than the commonly used aqueous concentrates of ammonium salts of herbicidal auxinic carboxylic acids.

High-Strength Low-Viscosity Agricultural Formulations

View page
US Patent:
20030125209, Jul 3, 2003
Filed:
Dec 19, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/324275
Inventors:
Holger Tank - Zionsville IN, US
International Classification:
A01N057/18
A01N025/04
A01N025/16
US Classification:
504/206000, 504/365000
Abstract:
The present invention provides a concentrated herbicide composition containing a glyphosate isopropylammonium salt and a polyoxyalkylene alkylamine surfactant. The concentrated herbicide composition can be formulated to exhibit decreased viscosity by reducing the amount of isopropyl amine used to prepare the glyphosate salt while maintaining the high concentration of the glyphosate salt.
