Insecticidal compositions suitable for use in preparation of insecticidal granular fertilizer and insecticidal formulations
View Patent ↗Insecticidal compositions suitable for use in preparation of insecticidal granular fertilizer and insecticidal formulations comprising a pyrethroid and a glycol present in a concentration of from 40.0% by weight to 99.0% by weight based upon the total weight of all components in the composition is disclosed.
1. A fertilizer formulation comprising
a) bifenthrin;
b) a glycol selected from the group consisting of hexylene glycol, diethylene glycol, triethylene glycol, polyethylene glycol and glycerine present in a concentration of from 40.0% by weight to 99.0% by weight based upon the total weight of bifenthrin plus glycol; and
c) a granular fertilizer;
wherein the formulation is in granular form.
