Composition and method for desucking tobacco
Abstract
Abstract AQUEOUS EMULSIONS OF WATER-INSOLBLE HORTICULTURAL CHEMICALS, SUCH AS WATER-INSOLUBLE PESTICIDAL, FUNGICIDAL AND GROWTH-REGULATING C HEMICALS, ARE PREPARED USING AS THE EMULSIFYING AGENT A HYDROCARBYLOXY POLYALKYLENE GLYCOL-ESTERIFIED POLYMER OF STYRENE AND MALEIC ANHYDRIDE, E.G. A METHOXY POLYETHYLENE GLYCOL-ESTERIFIED POLYMER OF STYRENE AND MALEIC ANHYDRIDE. THE EMULSIFYING AGENT IS EFFECTIVE EVEN WHEN PRESENT IN VERY MINOR AMOUNTS, E.G. ABOUT 0.01 TO 0.3 PARTS BY WEIGHT OF THE AGENT PER PART OF THE HORTICULTURAL CHEMICAL. MOREOVER, THE COMPOSITIONS LEAVE LITTLE OR NO VISIBLE DEPOSIT ON THE PLANT LIFE TO WHICH THEY ARE APPLIED. PARTICULARLY SUITABLE HORTICULTURAL CHEMICALS ARE TOBACCO DESUCKERING AGENTS SUCH AS PETROLEUM MINERALS OILS, FATTY ACID ESTERS, LONG-CHAIN ALIPHATIC ALDEHYDES, AND LONG-CHAIN ALIPHATIC ALCOHOLS.
