ACRYLATE/METHACRYLATE-BASED RANDOM COPOLYMER/ANTHRANILIC DIAMIDE COMPOSITIONS FOR PROPAGULE COATING

摘要

Disclosed is an insecticidal composition comprising by weight based on the total weight of the composition:(a) from about 9 to about 91% of one or more anthranilic diamide insecticides; and(b) from about 9 to about 91% of an acrylate/methacrylate-based random copolymer component having a water solubility of at least about 5% by weight at 20° C., a hydrophilic-lipophilic balance value of at least about 3, and an average molecular weight ranging from about 1,500 to about 50,000 daltons;wherein the ratio of component (b) to component (a) is about 1:10 to about 10:1 by weight.;Also disclosed is a geotropic propagule coated with the insecticidal composition.;Further disclosed is a liquid composition comprising the insecticidal composition, and a method for protecting a geotropic propagule and plant derived therefrom from a phytophagous insect pest.
