Abstract

Subject matter of the present invention is an emulsifiable concentrate comprising a water-insoluble pesticide, an amide of the formula (I) as defined herein, and a lactamide of the formula (II) as defined herein. The invention further relates to a process for the preparation of said concentrate; an emulsion obtainable by mixing water, a water-insoluble pesticide, the amide of the formula (I) and the lactamide of the formula (II); and to a method for controlling phytopathogenic fungi and/or undesired vegetation and/or undesired attack by insects or mites and/or for regulating the growth of plants, where the concentrate or the emulsion is allowed to act on the respective pests, their environment or on the crop plants to be protected from the respective pests, on the soil and/or on undesired plants and/or on the crop plants and/or their environment.

First claim

We claim:

1. An emulsifiable concentrate comprising a water-insoluble pesticide,
an amide of the formula (I)
R 1 —C(O)N(R 2 ) 2   (I)

where R 1 is —C 5 -C 19 -alkyl and R 2 is methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, or mixtures thereof;

and a lactamide of the formula (II)
H3C—CH(OH)—C(O)N(R 3 ) 2   (II)

where R 3 is methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, or mixtures thereof, wherein the water-insoluble pesticide is soluble in water to not more than 1 g/l, the concentrate comprises from 15 to 65% by weight of the amide of the formula (I), 1 to 30% by weight of the lactamide of the formula (II), and optionally 5 to 40% by weight of the hydrocarbon, wherein the amounts of these components add up to a sum of 16 to 90% by weight and wherein the weight ratio of amide (I) to lactamide (II) is from 2:1 to 15:1.

2. The concentrate according to claim 1 , where R 1 is a C 8 -C 14 alkyl.

3. The concentrate according to claim 1 , where R 1 is a C 7 -C 13 alkyl.

4. The concentrate according to claim 1 , where R 2 in formula (I) is methyl.

5. The concentrate according to claim 1 , where R 3 in formula (II) is methyl.

6. The concentrate according to claim 1 , further comprising a hydrocarbon.

7. The concentrate according to claim 6 , comprising 2 to 45% by weight of the hydrocarbon.

8. The concentrate according to claim 1 , where the weight ratio of the amide of the formula (I) to the lactamide of the formula (II) is in the range from 3:1 to 13:1.

9. The emulsifiable concentrate of claim 1 , wherein water-insoluble pesticide is fluxapyroxad, difenoconazole, or propiconazole.

10. A process for the preparation of the concentrate according to claim 1 by mixing the water-insoluble pesticide, the amide of the formula (I), the lactamide of the formula (II), and optionally the hydrocarbon.

11. An emulsion obtainable by mixing water and the emulsifiable concentrate as defined in claim 1 .

12. A method for controlling phytopathogenic fungi and/or undesired vegetation and/or undesired attack by insects or mites and/or for regulating the growth of plants, where a composition comprising the concentrate according to claim 1 is allowed to act on the respective pests, their environment or on the crop plants to be protected from the respective pests, on the soil and/or on undesired plants and/or on the crop plants and/or their environment.

13. The method of claim 12 , wherein R 1 is a C 8 -C 14 alkyl.
