AGROCHEMICAL FORMULATION COMPOSITION
The invention relates to an agrochemical formulation composition. The agrochemical formulation composition comprising at least one agrochemical active component and a solvent, which solvent comprises one or more dialkyl carbonates of the formula CO(OR a )(OR b ), each of R a and R b being a linear or branched alkyl group of 3 to 6 carbon.
1 . An agrochemical formulation composition comprising at least one agrochemical active component and a solvent, which solvent comprises one or more dialkyl carbonates of the formula CO(OR a )(OR b ), each of R a and R b being a linear or branched alkyl group of n carbons, having general formula —C n H 2n+1 , n being selected from the group consisting of 3, 4, 5 and 6.
2 . An agrochemical formulation composition according to claim 1 , wherein R a and R b are identical.
3 . An agrochemical formulation composition according to claim 1 , wherein each of R a and R b is a butyl group.
4 . An agrochemical formulation composition according to claim 1 , wherein said solvent provides at least 10 w % of the agrochemical formulation composition.
5 . An agrochemical formulation composition according to claim 1 , wherein the solvent comprises at least one other component different from said one or more dialkyl carbonates of the formula CO(OR a )(OR b ), each of R a and R b being a linear or branched alkyl group of n carbons, having general formula —C n H 2n+1 , n being selected from the group consisting of 3, 4, 5 and 6.
6 . An agrochemical formulation composition according to claim 1 , wherein the solvent comprises at least two dialkyl carbonates of the formula CO(OR a )(OR b ), each of R a and R b being a linear or branched alkyl group of n carbons, having general formula —C n H 2n+1 , n being selected from the group consisting of 3, 4, 5 and 6.
7 . An agrochemical formulation composition according to claim 1 , wherein said one or more dialkyl carbonates of the formula CO(OR a )(OR b ), each of R a and R b being a linear or branched alkyl group of n carbons, having general formula —C n H 2n+1 , n being selected from the group consisting of 3, 4, 5 and 6, has a molar mass of less than 250 g/mol.
8 . A method to use a agrochemical formulation composition, the method comprises the steps of:
providing an agrochemical formulation composition comprising at least one agrochemical active component and a solvent, which solvent comprises one or more dialkyl carbonates of the formula CO(OR a )(OR b ), each of R a and R b being a linear or branched alkyl group of n carbons, having general formula —C n H 2n+1 , n being selected from the group consisting of 3, 4, 5 and 6;
emulsifying said agrochemical formulation composition with water to provide an agrochemical applicable liquid; and
contacting said agrochemical applicable liquid with an agricultural substrate.
