This includes seeds, roots, fruits, tubers, bulbs, rhizomes, shoots, sprouts and other parts of plants, including seedlings and young plants, which are to be transplanted after germi- nation or after emergence from soil. These young plants may also be protected before transplantation by a total or partial treatment by immersion or pouring.
- cultivadas plants is to be understood as including plants which have been modified by breeding, mutagenesis or genetic engineering including but not limiting to agricultural biotech products on the market or in development.
- Genetically modified plants are plants, which genetic material has been so modified by the use of recombinant DNA techniques that under natural circumstances cannot readily be obtained by cross breeding, mutations or natural recombination.
- one or more genes have been integrated into the genetic material of a genetically modified plant in order to improve certain properties of the plant.
- Such genetic modifications also include but are not lim- ited to targeted post-translational modification of protein(s), oligo- or polypeptides e. g.

- 50 to 500 liters of the ready-to-use spray liquor are applied per hectare of agricultural useful area, preferably 100 to 400 liters.
- the dispersion may comprise various polar or unpolar pes- ticides and even additional adjuvants.
- the dispersion is thermodynamically stable, which allows long storage time, even under changing temperatures.
- the pesticide has a high bioavailability.
- the dispersion may be distributed in concentration and diluted with water to prepare a ready to use tank mix. Such a dilution is possible with various amount of water without adverse effect on the inner structure of the dispersion.
- the viscosity (important for spray applications) may be adjusted by adding various amounts of water, again without adverse effect on the dispersion.
- Stabilizer A ⁇ - ⁇ -Hydroxy terminated triblock polymer (EO/PO/EO), water soluble, average mol weight 12000 to 14000.
- Stabilizer B Aqueuous composition containing 33 wt% comb polymer made of metha- crylic acid, methyl methacrylate and methoxy polyethylene glycol methacrylate.
- Monoglyceride A monoglyceride comprising about 65 % of monolinolein.
- Adjuvant A Hydrophobic fatty alcohol ethoxylate alkoxylate, liquid at room temperature, dynamic viscosity at 25 °C 70-80 mPas.
- Adjuvant B Fatty alcohol ethoxylate alkoxylate, liquid at room temperature, cloud point according to EN 1890 (1 g in 100 g water) 28-30 °C, water solubility at least 10 wt% at room 20 °C.
- the internally self-assembled dispersion was diluted with water as the dispersion according to the invention should be readily dilutable with water.
- Dynamic light scattering was used to determine the hydrodynamic radius (RH) of the internally self-assembled particles.
- SAXS Small angle X-ray scattering
- the equipment comprised a SAXSess camera (Anton-Paar, Graz, Austria), connected to an Xray generator (Philips, PW 1730/10) operating at 40 kV and 50 mA with a sealed-tube Cu anode.
- the 2D scattering pattern was recorded by a PI-SCX fused fiber optic taper CCD Camera from Princeton Instruments, a division of Roper Scien- tific, Inc.
- the CCD detector featured a 2084x2084 array with 24x24 ⁇ pixel size (chip size: 50 ⁇ 50 mm) at a sample detector distance of 31 1 mm.
- the CCD was operated at -30 °C with a 10 °C water-assisted cooling to reduce the thermally generated charge.
- Cosmic ray correction and background subtraction were performed on the 2D image prior to further data processing. No sample background was subtracted.
- the temperature of the capillary and the metallic sample holder was controlled by a Peltier element. The dispersions were exposed to three 10-min periods of X-rays for averaging.
- the water-in-oil microemulsion shows a single broad correlation peak.
- the pendant drop technique was used to determine the air-liquid surface tension ⁇ of the internally self-assembled dispersion.
- the dispersion was prepared with CIPAC water D (342 ppm hardness) as described above.
- the concentrated dispersion was diluted with CIPAC water D according to the following concentrations: 0.1wt% dispersion in CIPAC water D; 0.5wt%; 1.0wt%; 2.0wt% and 5.0wt%.
- the instrument used was the OCA 10 from dataphysics. In the experiment a drop as large as possible was generated at the tip of a needle by ejecting a defined sample volume (typically 1 ⁇ ).
- the shape of the drop was detected by a CCD camera as a function of time (1 picture per second) and analyzed using the Young-Laplace equation. The dynamic measurement was performed until the equilibrium value was reached.
- Step B) Preparation of the aqueous phase:
- a 15wt.% stock solution of Stabilizer A in water was produced to ensure that Stabilizer A was dissolved completely.
- the stock solution was kept at 9°C until use.
- 5,0 g of dispersed phase 0.05 g Stabilizer A were added, i.e. 3.33 g of stock solution.
- the stock solution has to be diluted with 1 .67g of water to arrive at a total of 5,0 g of aqueous phase. After mixing the aqueous phase gently to avoid foam formation it was thermostated at the shearing temperature.
- a total of 10g of raw dispersion was prepared as follows: The aqueous phase and the dispersed phase (both 5,0 g) were weighed into glass vessels sealed with a screw cap and thermostated separately at the shearing tempera- ture of 40°C. To prepare the raw-dispersion the dispersed phase was poured into the aqueous phase and dispersed with a heated spatula. The raw-dispersion was then sheared immediately.
- the raw dispersion was immediately sheared mechanically through the shearing device based on Couette geometry.
- the shear rate was kept constant at 15.000 s _1 , the shearing device was preheated to 40°C.
- the raw dispersion was poured into the top opening of the shearing device and sheared as fast as possible through the narrow gap between the rotor and the stator.
- the internally self-assembled dispersion was col- lected from the outlet at the bottom of the shear cell.
- Examples 2-9 The total composition of examples 1 to 9 is given in Table 1 . All dispersions were prepared as in Example 1 in a total amount of 10,0 g.
- the pesticide was fenpropimorph in examples 1 , 2, 6, 7 and 8, pyraclostrobin in ex- ample 3, and prochloraz in examples 4, 5 and 9.
- the amphiphil was Monoglyceride in examples 1 -3, and 6, and phytantriol in examples 4, 5, and 7-9.
- the stabilizing surfactant (“Stabilizer”) was Stabilizer A in examples 1 -5, 8 and 9, or Stabilizer B in examples 6 and 7.
- prochloraz is an amorphous solid at room temperature.
- 4,8 g prochloraz and 1 ,2 g phy- tantriol were weighed into a glass vessel and sealed. The mixture was thermostated well above the melting temperature of prochloraz (48°C) until prochloraz was molten. The mixture was homogenized on a rotating shaker several times.
- methylcellulose (Methocel® A4C, 27.5-31 .5 methoxyl content, viscosity 12-18 cps as 2 wt% solution in water) was added prior to the preparation of the raw dispersion. To ensure complete dissolution of methylcellulose a stock-solution was prepared and stored at 9°C for 2 days. The stock solution was then added to the aqueous phase.
- Table 1 Composition of examples 1 -9 (all amounts are given in gram)
- Prochloraz samples were tested for their curative activity on netblotch in barley in greenhouse trials in concentrations of 2250, 563 and 141 ppm in comparison to an emulsion concentrate (EW) of prochloraz (450 g/l active, with 12-13 wt% o-sec- butylphenol and 4-4 wt% solvent naphtha, commercially available as Sportak® 45 EW from BASF SE), Without treatment the infection was in the range of 48 %. 7 days after treatment the infected area of barley leaves was assessed. The results are summarized in the table below.
